TD5 Defender top speed/speed limiter

[quaddrive]

Hi,

Any idea of the top speed of a TD5 defender? And do they have a limiter?

I have once tried to see what mine will do, and got 155 km/hr fully loaded for a field trip (GPS speed)

140+Kph and climbing for big red when I ran out overtake

I had 101mph on the GPS out of my 90 (downhill) a few years ago. They dont have a speed limiter

Top speed should be abput 85-90mph on the flat.

i got to 155kph in the 90 (fully standard) down a very large hill...think the aerodynamics were stopping any further progress from that number:twisted:

cheers phil

I have done this in my County, the Isuzu wanted more, the tyres, suspension and gearing wouldn't allow it.

Surely a TD5 could do better. In my standard D2 I have been over 160kph (private road of course)

Methinks at that speed it would have been doing very nicely. a little dance all of it's own, half a crown, sixpence, half a crown sixpence ! :)

If your not a proctologist or another type of expert in arses (example being middle to high management in a government dept) your thinking about this way to much.

Well I didn't say where.:twisted:

And the 130's are supposed to handle better than the 90's when you have a state to turn around in.

Ah but dave I have spent some big $$$ overhauling the beast since then. All thats left to do now is the rear axels and flanges for the driveline to be in perfect order or so I have been told.
I even had the transfer checked for no good reason than I could at the time.
