    for all those of you that are towing with defenders, even older ones.

    how many have EGT gauges?

    sendor before or after turbo?

    how many are still using the stock tempreture gauge?


    YES THEY WILL TOW IT, but all this talk about it being a walk in the park, or like theres nothing there is BS.

    from memory my 300tdi did upto 580 up a loong hill where speed varied from 125kph at bottom to 95 odd kph up the top pulling just under 2 tonnes of trailer and about 400kg in the back of the truck

    was it stock?

    was the sensor before or after the turbo?

    was it summer or winter?

    just trying to get ALL the facts guys....

    i just dont believe the "towed 2 tonnes like it wasnt there" statements...

    i also wonder about the one where a LR a LC and a Patrol all towed kimberly's, the landrover averaged 90-100km/h AND left the LC and Patrol way behind....what does that make their average speed then...may just be more to it than the defender out towing them...

    i agree with serg

    the 90 with all its chipping etc will dose tow heavy loads really well but its still limited by the EGT's it had all the power in the world to pull the load at 110kph up hills but the EGt's would have screamed over the safe limit.
    on the other hand i have a mate with a 4.2turbo GQ who often tows cars up the waterfall way, he has stopped on 2 occasions now after smelling a ''hot metalic'' smell to find the turbo housing glowing bright orange
    he isnt concerned either way.....

    cheers phil
