Thread: Just picked up my TD5 Disco tonight....My thoughts

The amount of turbo lag is a good indicator. Std has a noticeable lag, remap has very little.

Have a look at the ECU ( beside the jack and battery) it will likely have a sticker from the tuner if it has been upgraded. Eg TRS, BD, etc and some sort of "void if removed" tamper label.

I can here the screams now but..., std v8 of your old trucks era are no match for a TD5 and a well tuned TD5 makes many a bigger engine look slow.

.....and light the blue touch paper and stand well back.

I have a 95 Disco V8 too. Mine has done the same k's on original drive train including motor as your td5. The only mod is a scorcher ignition. Mine still goes hard and is very quiet. Its an auto but sits you back in your seat.

Hope it goes well mate.

Cheers

The BD ECU's have a small round white sticker on the case with some kind of reference number* written in pen on it. Otherwise no other markings or void stickers of any kind.



*Don't bother asking BD what it means - I discovered that they can't/won't tell you

You should know if it's chipped, my chipped D2 with my 1.4t camper on would pull away from a mates 3.9 V8 going up hill, used to annoy him no end and still get 14l/100ks
