My old p38 range rover had the 2.5 td engine very underpowered for a 2+ tonn car had it chipped and bigger intercooler and it flew but nothing like my 140ps jumbo in a drag race the 140 would leave the rangrover at the lights , the bmw 2.5td was great in a bmw car but guttless in a big 4x4 cant see it being any better in a transit.
MK7 2006, 2.4 tdci, 140ps + TUNIT box = 165ps jumbo rwd known as "Big Blue" to the kids.
