rusty_wingnut Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 a poorly turbo is all i can think of, or a blocked intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Has anyone mentioned the lift pump in this thread? I changed mine because of similar symptoms and the landy is back to normal now. Cheap and easy to do. edit - just had a quick read and see that Jimmy mentioned it - still think this is worth a look though. Mine will get up to 90 now at a push with the OD engaged or in 5th w/o OD. Before i changed the lift pump, it would struggle to hold 70/75. What is more - on removal of the old lift pump, it would still pump diesel, but it still cant have been working properly because of the improvement with the new pump.

It increases the gearing by about 15% so it may need dropping a cog when going up hill or just sit at a higher speed and its ok . To run this ratio transfer box you so need a boost and pump tweek to get the best out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
