I have upped the change points in my D1 to 3250 to 4000. It seems to take off around 3000. Why have a V8 if you're not going to use it.
If I'm not on the highway I have forgotten I have a 5th gear. Much better to drive that way on back roads. Even if travelling near 100 km/h.
You can rev to this point easily with little load so it is not doing the motor any harm and if anything it is good for it. Why lug a motor down low when it freely revs like a Rover V8.
Ride the torque, don't lug up it.

As an engine reconditioner once said to me: "high revs don't kill engines, driving at constant revs kills engines"Quote:

God i must be old, in teh uk i thrashed my little 1l cars to red line every time, but now its between 1500-2500rpm. except first may hit the heady heights of 3000 just to get going as its pretty low geared.
Your a bad boy JC:mad:Quote:

We are not about hammering people:(
I haven't called anyone stupid...
Directly, no you haven't but daring for a IQ challenge does imply same.
On that note, we are here to help and support and no need for name calling like he did.
Land rover people are definately passionate.
