Title: 2.5 n/a diesel performace vs tdi
Post by: JimP on February 18, 2009, 13:40:50

Am looking at a 2.5n/a diesel 90 at the weekend, my initial thought are it will be too slow,

I've been driving around in a 300tdi Disco until it blew up, can anyone give me any indication of performance of a 2.5 n/a compared to the 300tdi disco???

Cheers

Jim

I've both a 110 n/a and a 300 tdi Disco there is a huge difference in performance however the old 110 always gets there in the end.
