hi guys iv just bought a td5 auto, and I ignored all the rumours about them being crap, and they are ! I can imagine towing they are awesome but otherwise just reving the balls of td5 even when cold, so my question is, without giving Ashcroft £300 is there anyway I can get it to change at lower revs ? its 3rd gear that's changing at 3k revs !, would an oil and filter change help ?

Hi...I guess you referring to the HD Torque converter that Ashcroft Supply? I have one fitted and it makes a huge difference to gear changes. On moderate acceleration my TD5 auto pulls through all the gears in or around 2000rpm - 2200rpm. You feel it grabbing the torque a lot lower down the rev range. Its the only mod you can do to get the driving experience you're looking for....buts its expensive when you take labour etc in, unless you up to fitting it yourself.
