Land rovers rock thread

[david wood]

at the risk of seeming stupid - its late and i have had a drink or two

 

pretty sure the 300 tdi's didnt have any form of a chip/ecu, could just screw the pump up a lil to get some more power. But i am soooooo likely to be wrong and learn something new here.

[tommer9]

No, you're right david.

[geoff]

No there isnt.

 

I may be wrong, but I think the very late 300 landys did get engine management,aka the discos.

[tommer9]

Ah. Ok.

The discos did have a basic ecu situated below the windscreen i believe.

Hey Tommer,by the way I love your narcolepsy avatar!

HI badermert hows the puma land rover going mate is it better then the td5 jon

 

Hi Jon

 

Nows its chipped/tuned it pulls like it should do and the power now suits the gear ratios. The foam on the seats has collapsed after 70K, its had a new gearbox, transfer box, engine mounts, various electric things replaced.....

 

IMO I prefer the TD5 as a workhorse and the Puma is a lifestlye chelsea tractor due to stupid changes like no battle flaps for fresh air , you cant put your cuppa on the dashboard, or the ability to thaw out your cold feet or demist the windscreen on a wet day and the flimy bonnet that buckles when you walk on it even with the chequer plate:thumbdown:

 

Rant over.

Correct

[Gray git]

Only a landy would be up to pulling this monster of a mewp just never again!! snaked like a b*@*H....

[david wood]

would normally agree how amazing the landys are - but mine is suffering from weeing its self today and in garage getting repaired. The rear diff flange seal has let go after a month of getting done at mot time. So whole new flange this time to cure it - garage being really good with a deal on the work.

 

Oh and its getting chipped hopefully on tues - got offered a nice price on an autologic download which gives about 50 more hp and about same in torque so should make towing a lil gentler on it as i wont be working it quite so hard.
