1.9 DF MPH
Newbie numpty question got a crew cab with a 1.9 DF engine with a 4 speed box. What sort of top speed should I get, at the moment it will only do 105 kph with the pedal nailed to the floor, is this about right ?? I hope not as I will need a bit more than this.
thanks colin
thanks colin
Oh dear, 65.625 mph!
Should do more than that, 75mph at least
Was there a headwind? Does it seem to pull well otherwise?

Hi harrymann and peter thanks for your replies its on liquid gold peter
on gas its running near enough the same as far as I can tell and we always have wind in the thames estuary
I have done new plugs, fuel filter, rotor arm, dizzy cap, stripped the carb was a bit of crap in secondary jet even stripped and cleaned the dizzy just in case timing seems ok. crewy accelerates ok compared to the bay and my deisel escort just seems to hit a rev limiter at 105k its my own fault I got the engine codes mixed up when I was looking for the bus wanted a few more horses so if this is near to normal I guess I shall be looking for a 2.1 or something a bit rice burnerish

First out, get a compression tester from somewhere and see what you have there, cold and then hot after a run... should be interesting. The DG's in good nick go really well, but have no idea what the diff is between them myself.

Right found my compression tester took all bloody day
tip of the day: dont move sheds then expect to find anything, been looking for my multimeter for a couple of weeks went and brought a new one
Got freinds down for the weekend so it will be Monday before I can do the test so Monday evening could well see a grumpy old git posting

Hi All didn't get a chance to do the compression test been looking at poxy tiles and bathroom suites for the monster in law and looks like tomorrow will be a no go as well
On a brighter note filled my gas and petrol tank to the top and worked out my mpg about 19/20 on petrol and 17/18 on gas is this normal sort of figures?? and 500 kilos of tiles don't make em faster either

Sounds a bit down on both MPG and speed - mine managed 27MPG/70 flat out in standard form (normal petrol), now has DG carb and does same MPG but can touch 80 (driven hard MPG is probably lower but have not been far enough fast to be sure).
Why does the not quite finished job before last always conspire with the not quite started job after next to make what you should be doing now harder?

WWOOOHOOOO managed to do the compression test lunch time
not good number 1 is only 7.25 bar 2=10.35, 3=9.66, 4=10.00 bar think my engine is foobard or at least number 1 head has a burnt valve or knackered rings and the other 3 are getting near the limit for useful life.
So what are my options rebuild the DF 60bhp , get a DG and rebuild it, I know pete has one for sale or get a DJ 2.1 and rebuild that but I would need everything including the injection gear unless you can set em up to run on a carb. Any of the above but get a recon engine from Vege, BBT etc or grovel to the monster in law and borrow some money (until we sell our bay) and go the scooby route and have done with it, I did email TSR last evening with a few questions in anticipation of crap test .
So your opinions please gentlemen and ladies but no slagging or flaming cos if you do Jill will jump on you and that can be painful cos she always gets your dangley bits
