Hi, ive just bought a defender 90 td5 with 100k on clock , runs great with no smoke but its a bit gutless , whats the first thing I should be doing , ie , tuning , intercooler , etc . want to get it right so it pulls like a train!
 
You should be introducing yourself, you gotta wine and dine us lot before prying us for answers.
 
Would be reyt entertaining if it was just another case of normal defender pace = new owner thinks car must be broken.

To the OP, it cheeses us lot off when people join up with the wrong intentions!
 
Why do you need more power from a 90?

If you want power go for a merc/bm/scooby/volvo.

A 90 is a 90.
I suppose the next questions will be how do I paint it Bonatti grey, will a Puma bonnet fit and what size spacers do I need to fit a set of 22's... ?
 
So you want a fast 4x4 ! What you need to do is slam it to the ground ,big bonnet scoop , boot spoiler , gold wheels paint it blue then put a great big dump value on the turbo that should sort it out ;) Not wait thats a scooby not a landy DOH ;)
Welcome :)

Fixed that for you...

If you want something that pulls like a train, why not get a train :rolleyes:

Landrovers don't need to be powerful, and Td5 produces good power anyway.
 
I buggered up. :rolleyes:

It should have been :mad:
...

:p

That's quite alright ,happens to the best of us . Now if you don't mind I must go finish the last couple of thing, putting the merlin engine in my d2 ! It was proving a little sluggish coming of the roundabouts :D

I prefer the Griffon mysen, all the torque, fewer horses...

I find the Gaylander uses fewer vcu's on the Griffon anorl personally...

:D :D : D
 
This looks like another circular conversation: OP posts summat, we offer solutions; thread digresses, we discuss politics/quantum mechanics/Cilla Black/round black things.

Somebody else joins, asks about tyres/egr/hinges for a cat flap/bad earth on a V8.

We answer sensibly/take the pîss...

OP never comes back...

Newbie joins, asks why his gaylander back window ðoesn't work after he changes his battery, I say a naughty word then another naughty word followed by off and another sweary word. Someone concurrs, someone from the gaylander section says 'now, now, take no notice of the nasty men, come and use my GHD's'...
A ttratteter says summat about the doors falling off, I ask about red tratters and hills and pigs.

New members of all denominations ask "what?" then put a poll up asking summat particurlaly STOOPID without the obligatory BoB option that they don't know about because they're noobs...

Time for my nytol now.
