Puma anti-stall
Definitely a real-world scenario this - towing a 12T truck with no driver.

Quite fun though. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
+ New Defender 110 First Edition

I often wonder after being impressed with the Anti-stall on my TDci if it would be an easy thing to re-programme the engine management strategy on the TD5 to give the existing rather poor Anti-stall a bit of a boost?

I assume the ECM does this by adjusting the Fuel delivery/Injection control to compensate for the sudden load,
so you would have to re-write that part of the strategy to really up the Oomph... we know in tuned form the TD5 is quite capable of impressive torque figures.
Any thoughts anyone?

No, two different systems. the idle jack is there to help, stop or reduce the engine braking in low range. The Puma has lots of Torque (too much) when you need to use engine braking to descend, the standard engine would hold the wheel rotation back and the vehicle would slide. The simple fix was to increase the revs when the clutch is lifted in 1st low, This now allows the wheels to turn at the same rate as the vehicle descends. Not an exact science but LR decided that an idle jack is better than no idle jack. This is what happens when an engine from a parts bin is adapted for use in a vehicle that it was not designed to be installed in. Thanks Ford Rolling Eyes Twisted Evil

Not really - more like when the design and redesign is cost limited or time limited...its not beyond the capability to change that problem...the cost will have stopped it. Mike
