TD5 - Slow Response - Land Rovers Only

John · 09-23-2004, 07:08 AM

The reaction time between the accelerator peddle and road wheels on my 2004 TD5 is at best boring whilst waiting for things to happen, but at worst downright dangerous.
Is it possible to improve this or is it yet another disco quirk that I'll have to live with?

The first thing to do really is to get your local dealer to put it on T4 and check for any engine management faults,it's under warranty so it'll be free.

i had same problem with my td5 it was very sluggish, i discovered the turbo link bar that is underneath the shield which operates the waste gate had come off i reconnected it and i cant believe the difference. If you find its still on it can be adjusted to boost performance. Its worth just checking
