Neither do I and I also can't understand why they enforced a 130kph speed limit in the NT when I've driven the Tdi on the highway.

I haven't had the Puma on the open highway without the Kamper behind it and when towing I try not to go over 100kph.

I have had the Puma up to 140 in northern territory and i'm positive it would of pulled on it wasn't intentional...was doing 130 and didn't realise I was creeping up

No UK td5s were speed limited atall to my knowledge.

I thought all Puma's had it as a factory set limit, and I recall people lke Pete at BAS spent a while being able to bypass it

As far as I'm aware mine isn't. I tend to chicken out at 150 :o :eek:

Mate - I'm with Sleepy! I'd fit a speed restricter like yours in a flash - who would ignore "it"? :D

I suppose having twin airbags at speed would help:wasntme:

If you don't mind me saying 135 is plenty any way in a large fridge. I'm more concerned about pulling power than top speed these days.:) Would it be torque limited with wind resistance etc at that rate of knots?

I wasn't towing:o I just passed a truck and a car that was towing a caravan.

I thought some of the early D2's had a speed limiter in them as I had a couple of queries while I was in townsville about why they couldnt clear 150kph indicated and then after chipping they could, no it wasnt that the engine had run out of puff, that was my first reaction.

Yeh Mate I agree 100Kph is the maximum speed anywhere in Australia for towing .Cheers,
