Gee, I don't know what my Disco 2 TD5 will do. It easily gets past the speed limit but seriously, If I want to go fast I will use the Jeep Cherokee sitting in my garage. If I want to go off road I will use my TD5 Disco and enjoy the looks on the Jap 4wd owners faces as I winch them out of the ****.
I wish to make a theoretical observation.
Given the right circumstances of clear, straight roads, no other traffic, etc, I would estimate that including speedo inaccuracies due to tyre size, my Discovery would achieve a speed of roughly 150km/h with some left, before it was slowing down was required for safeties sake.
Theoretically speaking, of course.
Sorry I know its in the D2 section but...
My defender, chipped TD5, is good for 160 on the flat. But it seems like a cruel thing to do. From memory I think it ran out of gears rather than power. It'll sit all day at 120, happy and not stressed.
The guy a couple of pages back, murturi (?) who gets 180 from his disco, respect to that but what EGT and what revs?
0-100's anyone?
Good thread.
No worries mate, if it's got a Td5 then it's cool here :cool:Quote:

Zero to 100?
I'll tell you tomorrow :Rolling:
In all seriousness, I think 14 was about the best I got.
Slightly bigger tyres, lift, bar, stock ECU.
I am going to chip mine soon. I am planning a before and after on 0 to 100 and the standing 400.Quote:

I must stress that the majority of the time I drive with the upmost mechanical sympathy.
But just every now and then :twisted:
One life and all that.
