hi i have got a landrover defender 110 sw 12 seater when going up hills it loses power very quickly on straights it is perfect i can get about 60 to 70 mph, on a hill it drops to about 30 mph the turbo is ok it starts fine does not smoke at all the bloke i brought it from had driven it around on cooking oil so i change the fuel filter but that didnt cure it any suggestions would be very appreciated thanks
 
Fook mines puffy blue an that hates hills, thank god it aint red or it wouldn't even make it
 
It sounds like its a 2.5TD not the 200TDi / 300TDi if it is then it is normal for it to run out of power on hills quickly and 70 mph for a 110 2.5TD sounds about right.

No, a 200 will pretty much fit straight in! ...and it will make it MASSIVELY quicker, and get about 10 more MPG as well - well worth it conversion which will pay for itself in no time, but all depends on the quality of yer chassis and other bits as to whether it's worth doing.
 
thanks for that info its the first time ive bought and im prepared to spend as much as it takes because i aint getting rid of her yet the chassis is very clean no rust at all
