Stop baiting the newbie :p

brianbrianyi, yes the engine lacks in just about most ways that we are used to driving, the gap between 3rd n 4th is immense, going up a hill in 4th is not going to work unless you're in a 20mph speed limit area, drop to third and live with it mate, the engine is somewhat something you will get used too.

Motorway you're looking at 50-65 max without screaming the arse off it.

By all means give the engine a check over, no harm in it, but from what you're saying, it's normal behavior for a 2.5TD engine.

:doh: He's got a Range Rover P38 2.5 DT (BMW engine), not a 19j 'fender.

Not normal behaviour at all for a 2.5 DT, but glad he's got it sorted now.

No wonder I couldn't figure out what pipe he was on about hehe, sounded too much like a 19j ;)
