    Talking Td5 top speed.

    Okay so...
    I realise the Td5 isn't exactly a 10 second dragster, but just wondering what sort of speeds they top out at?
    Obviously this is all in a "hypothetical" sense
    I hit 120, and only once for two reasons:
    1: to see if the overspeed light worked (it didn't )
    2: because I was overtaking.

    So yes.
    Hypothetical top speeds people?
    Cheers

    I've never taken mine past 120 DM so yeah sorry not sure. I doubt they would do the speedo though. Then again I might be wrong

    Yeah, It was a long straight so I could have unwound it a bit but I've been pretty hesitant to do anything too extreme, after I got pulled over
    I may have nudged 130 once, but yeah...
    It'd be interesting to see

    Have had my chipped TD5 Defender very close to 160 KM/h so a Discovery should be much quicker

    A long time ago and in mainland Europe I had my td5 90 hit 101mph (162ish kmh) on GPS. It was not chipped at the time. It was downhill however, and would have got a few more but I decided that was enough!

    Disco should happily beat that with a long enough run up!
