Hi Andrew,

Can you expand on the flat spot fixed part please?

Thanks

Hi Greame
When you get the green light and go everybody leaves you way behind despite pedaling hard,get to 2200rpm and you are away.If yours doesnt have the get up and go it had from the start check the hoses.If the 2 on the inlet side are jelly like compared to the outlet side join the club.
In my case the hoses were expanding under boost delaying the effect of the turbo,ie increasing "turbo lag".
You have a manual as I have,so the problem is worse.In an auto the torque converter will help mask the problem.
I can now easily get the traction control to trigger in 1st 2nd and 3rd on gravel,it wasnt happening with the old hoses.

Thanks Andrew.
My hoses were upgraded to the later type at the 1st sign of delamination. Its Tombraider ecu & IC upgraded but it still has a little deadish spot when first touching the throttle after each gear change if the revs are low and it would be nice not to have that. But if it didn't do that, what would I look forward to with my next vehicle?

You are always going to cop turbo lag when you have a big heavy vehicle with a little 2.5 diesel motor.
But we still use less fuel/km than the mother in laws Hiundie auto excell she just sold!!!!!
Even when unhealthy BlackBetty CREAMS Fat BAZ's 80 ser tojo(4.2L NA Diesel 6cyl)The TD5 fights way beyond its size!!!

I did have all the measurements, but I can't find the note pad........



You'll just have to pull 'em off and measure 'em.

anyone come up with what is needed for a 300tdi disco?
