Cheer's she's no got any silencer just the cat on the front section of exhaust pipe, seems to be livening up now with no EGR and intake manifold cleaned out ... doing 20mpg at the minute with a good bit of heavy towing 👍
Hey mate cracking video. what weight is the excavator and what’s the overall train weight how did this effect your mpg. Where did you get the suspension bags? Cheers
Cheer's the digger is 2.8 so with trailer 3.5t on the back then 5-6t train depending on how loaded the truck is, Mpg probably drops from 20 to 16-17 at a guess i only tow local so haven't checked on longer journeys . The air bags came from john craddock's but i think there also on ebay and other sites just search up Air lift, you get different ones for 110's ect as the springs are different diameters . im really pleased with them on the 90 stops it squatting with weight without the ride being any rougher empty .
Hi! Really good video on defender towing 🙌 I live in Norway and consider buying 110 td5 for towing mini digger (2t plus trailer 1t)thru the steep tunnels ( steepest part is 8.5%. Length of the incline about 1.8km)😅 do you think 110 td5 cc is a good choice for that type of towing? Thanks in advance for any tips 🙏
Any Land Rover has a towing capacity of 4 tonnes on the Sahara, since 1952 and I saw in Northern Cyprus in 1981 and 1982, many "construction teams" consisting of one Series I or II Land rover, 5 to 7 peoples, 3 or 4 wheelbarrows and many pickaxes an shovels on top of Land Rover, a concrete mixer as a first trailer and an approximetly 5 to 6 meters tower crane as a second trailer under 45 celcius on the shade. If you not believe, consult the Land Rover international magazine or ask directly to the Land Rover.

Thanks , Yes a td5 should be fine for towing and can always be tuned/re-mapped for more power, id have a good look at the chassis and running gear . 👍
@@bengoddard6898 thanks for quick reply 🙏 your truck towing flawlessly on the videos! Did you do any towing thru hills with that digger?
hi, i have a defender td5 + a 2.5t excavator on a trailer, it's a good set
@@mieszkosoczewinski3304 Yeah it does well, i have an exhaust gas temperature gauge i do sometimes have to slow down as it can get a bit hot
