    Hey slug_burner, does this mean you advocate a tune rather than an upgraded intercooler? Any further info; or reasons for this choice, would love to know.

    Id do the intercooler first.

    theres plenty of people about who can seat of the pants the pump adjustment to get it just where you want it.

    theres a couple of threads with links to howto on and off forum.

    What I meant was that if your decision to do something to your vehicle was going to be delayed until after your 600km tow of a trailer, then you can save time and book in for a tune now. Not too many find the performance that great and there is room for improvement.

    I don't belive there is much point in tweaking the pump unless you upgrade your I/C.

    Thanks for this clarification. All the best for 2010.

    Got it home

    Well we went from Coffs Harbour to Glossodia Saturday 2nd. & picked up the Goldstream Storm camper van. Travelled down @ speed limits 100 & 110kph where allowed, a total of 549 kms.

    On the trip down we used 9.21 litres/ 100kms, & on the way back with the camper van, (990k.g. tare mass) we managed 10.82litres/100k.m.s travelling largely at 90 - 95 k.p.h.

    The 300 Tdi Defender performed wonderfully, I'm more than happy with the way it all went.

    Now all I've got to do is convince the XYL of the need not to feel every storage nook & cranny has to be filled!!!!!
