    And here I was thinking there would soon be a cheap Defender on the market. I hope this is the beginning of a better run of luck.

    I kept on telling you the engine will rev higher! I rearly change before 3k and It will rev over 4.5k! although, in saying that it has stopped pulling way before that, I have only gone there when trying to keep it moving in a tricky off road section. They do like to be spanked It will put a smile on his face

    Good to hear Dan, now lets go find some tricky track to test you new rev range!

    Cheers,

    Good to here my driving style is now considered good for the engine - I often run mine above 4k chasing pesky petol Prados uphill

    Can't wait 'til someone decides 4 wheel drift is good for the steering alignment...

    I'm so pleased that you have returned to the fold.

    Go out and use that 90kw of gut wrenching, spine tingling, hair curling power.

    And remember that it is doing you good.

    I did a driver training day a while ago. I was supposed to be driving my Sprite around the skid pan but then I thought "lets see what the Puma can do!"

    I managed two complete laps fully sideways all wheels spinning with the traction control going mad before it finally came up with a engine management light tell me to STOP IT!!

    But heck it was fun!! (yes it was reving a little over 2200rpm )

    By the way the light went away once all the brakes had cooled and I restarted the vehicle a few times.

    Cheers,

    I believe that just pottering around at low revs is the second worse thing you can do to an engine after revving it at cold start-up.I give my Tdi an Italian tune quite often. Pat
