Re: discovery 200 series tdi, needs more grunt?????
I'm surprised you feel you need more power for towing, we tow a 2ton caravan and our standard TDi 200 copes admirably with that. Here are a few random thoughts: 1. Are you sure your vehicle is running correctly, generating the full power that it is designed to make? 2. Disco's are not the fastest vehicles on the road - are you sure that your towing expectations are realistic. The first time I towed was years ago with a 3500 SD1. When running solo, she went like a bird, but towing a horse trailor was COMPLETELY different. I first thought she was broken, but no sir, they're all like that. 3. Have you access to any other Disco's to do a comparison with yours? My wife's best pal has an auto TDi300 that I thought might be pants at towing but no, actually quite impressive. Just as matter of interest what do you tow? |

Hi I've altered the pump to get maxiumum over fueling then also wound the fuel up till you get black soot from the exhaust then knock it back half a turn! My range rover goes like a rocket now and leaves everything else standing, and driven carefully is still good on fuel, i can tow my comp safari racer from kent to hampshire and back at 65-70mph and use half a tank of diesel. If in doubt go and see a landrover technition before touching pump! they should all know the best way cos those in the know use the 200tdi! |
