Defender won’t go above 50
Hello, i have just had a new clutch and flywheel fitted on my defender 90 td5 2002 and it doesn’t seem to go above 50mph, is this’s normal for a bit or is there something wrong? Thankyou

Is the transmission brake binding ? It would get pretty hot if it were.

That’s an interesting idea JST, especially if the transfer box was in Low, the linkage not connected and the lever in high.

Did they forget to plug the air flow meter or the vacuum hose to the air box?
