2.5 n/a diesel performace vs tdi

[JimP]

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

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.

depends on your budget....i brought an early 2.5 turbo(not the tdi engine) defender and i got rid a month later and went and got me one with a 200tdi in for £200 more...depends on whats about i suppose

i,ve just converted my 90 td to tdi and that was aamazing difference i can get up hills without changng down the box

and alot better on fuel
easyer to start
buy a 200tdi one or convert it yourself very easy to do
