[QUOTE=ajamesc;6519566]we have very different opinions on under powered. The one my mate had that I used service for him was very under powered and that engine is known as under powered in td5's[/
All engines are different, depends how they have been used throughout their life as you must know, also what fuel it's been run on or running on.
I had a focus RS from new, ran it carefully for first couple of thousand miles whereas a mate of mine ragged his to death from day one, his was far quicker, more responsive in everyway until I changed the way I drove mine then it got better.
My TD5 was not underpowered at all, kept up with motorway traffic, could overtake slower vehicles if I needed to on single carriageways.
My defender 200 tdi is underpowered, struggle to overtake tractors haha but I still love it.
