Land Rover Td5 chip

[corylus]

I have a 130 Td5 crew cab with 170000 miles on it. Engine is quiet, starts instantly (even @ -14 c) but (as I understand) lacks torque like all Td5's. (I wanted a 300 like my 110 hi-cap but couldnt find one:crying:) My mechanic says the engine is fine (so does his laptop!).

 

As its a W reg it cant be re-programmed so any ideas for an aftermarket chip/ecu that will make it a bit more torquey?

Just found out that my uncle chips TD5s as a hobby - has done about 50-60 with no issues. Not so local though as he's in Germany. Usually gets 180-190bhp from them.

The td5 sounds like it is revving harder than it is. Half the time you need to watch the tacho and rev it higher. We had a 300 and a td5 You could rev the 300 to 3000 rpm without thinking about it but the Td5 sounds like it is going to blow at 2000 rpm. I tow 3500kg of loaded trailer and would not bother chipping mine especially now its got 150k on the clock once wound up goes like scalded cat. If you chip it you can get alot of head problems and cracked manifolds.

better putting a better engine in td5s were never great

I had this issue on my 03 plate Disco, we took the cat off. Passed MOT no issues and goes like hell, just stinks a bit!!. Need to have the engine switched off when hitching a trailer up for sure.

the td5 should be a clean engine even without a cat you may have other problems.

Recently had our TD5 Discovery 2 Remapped by Twisted Performance.

Goes a lot nicer now, much mower power and torque, and another 5mpg!

Doing 35mpg, mainly short runs!

I had a tune it box fitted to my 130. Td5, I took it off and sold it, utter waste of money! It makes the injectors rattle and I found out that a lot of the plug and play type mods burn out the air mass meter, I have mine left as standard and tow well over what it should with no probs. If u want more power get a tdv6 conversion!
