Would you REALLY want to drive any faster with an 11m long 2.9m wide boat and trailer weighing 3.2 tonnes???
Besides which I have tweaked the pump slightly on mine - I would estimate I am getting about 12 secs 0-60. Not brilliant but not bad either!!!
Obviously if my company cars or my mates Ferrari was performing like that I would consider it VERY sluggish but it is NOT that kind of vehicle.

Actually it was the "radio controlled, 1:18 scale" that was relevant!

i would be very surprised /or not if your landy accelerated to 60 in 12 or even 17 seconds with the boat on the back
but i may be wrong as you have "tweaked" it
shame landrover did not sus that simple little trick of yours for all the landrovers they have produced then perhaps they would get less of a slating for being sluggish

It is not just Land Rover - most makers have to comply with very restrictive emissions regs - of course my Disco will also comply - on the day of the MOT!!!
As to the tweak it is quite common knowledge!!!

Save yourself the trouble Hugh, just 'google' it yourself - that's what would happen anyway

If I can shave 5 seconds off my 0-60 time just by turning a screw im off to get the socket set out on the clio and then tear up a few Evo's Surely if this made such dramatic increases to performance why didn't manufacturers do it in the first place??

Is it a diesel? Does it have a mechanical pump? Emissions regs that's why!!!

So the answer to my previous question is yes then!
I would take a guess that unless you've declared this "tweak", your insurance could be invalid, particularly now that you've documented the fact that you have deliberately modified your vehicle with the stated intention of significant performance increase.
