Thread: D4 Turbos

Same with me Tombie2.
Pull up, undo seatbelt etc, grab mobile phone and whatever else, then switch off.
Obviously longer if towing. Apart from towing, one of the worse things is sitting at 100Kph on a freeway for a period of time then switching off straight away.
With a little patience, you know that you are doing the right thing by your vehicle.
Unlike my wife who has a 3 Series BMW TD. She gets in it when it is cold and drives it like Peter Brock used too. Then on the return race trip on two wheels, turns it off before engaging 'Park'.
You can only tell them!

Yep couldn't agree more with the "you can only tell them"

Hi all

Does this info also apply to an 2005 TD5 Defender.
I have added a performance chip and I've been told to allow it to idle for at least a couple of minutes, especially after towing.

Thanks
