So I rcently upgraded from a 1986 2.5 N/A 110 to a 1998 300tdi 130. The old 110 was slow and loud as you'd expect and ran out of gear at about 60mph. Considering I now have a 300tdi I was expecting to have quite a bit more pace. It will do 65-70mph but only after a good couple of minutes at full throttle and it isn't comfortable sitting there. There's a lot of engine/turbo noise and any slight hill will reduce the pace substantially. Most people seem to say their Defender will do over 80mph so do you reckon that my engine is knackered (it's done 165,000 miles) or it's just because the 130 is so heavy?
Thanks for your input!
