My first question would be…..why on earth are you revving the poor girl between 3500-4000rpm? 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!

Pull some codes or log some data - anything without this is speculation. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

It’s a 2012 if that helps re the comment about later models having an updated inlet manifold.

You don’t need a license to read fault codes. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I rarely take it beyond 3000 RPM, maybe once or twice per month. I think it’s important to give the car a chance to stretch its legs once fully warmed up. Being an old girl I am very smooth with all inputs so the run to 3500/4000 RPM is done progressively so as not to put unnecessary strain on her. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather |

Mine gets up there occasionally when I'm wanting maximum acceleration overtaking in a short distance. Unfortunately speed limits mean that the run is very short-lived. |

The last few times it’s happened it cleared itself following pulling over and turning off the ignition. I do have a OBD reader that communicates with Torque and this shows no stored fault codes. The same reader correctly diagnosed a faulty turbo actuator a year ago. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather |

I agree but the issue is where the hell can you use that oomph without hitting the legal speed limit 3 seconds after stamping on the fun pedal !. Just overtaking an artic on an A road means you nearly hit 100 by the time you get past , you have to be really careful overtaking 3 with a caravan on the back !!!

For folks that think their cars are overpowered, and should all be artificially limited to national speed limits with no over-ride, the EU is coming to your rescue. |
