Howdoo, and welcome to the forum!!

If the car is genuinely that age and miles, then it possibly needs a good Italian tune-up....

Change the oil and filters, put a dose of injector cleaner into a quarter tank of fuel and let an apprentice or young friend take it for a 30 mile or so drive without you being there......  Should clear the tubes and injectors out like a good 'un then see if its any better.

If not, there are tuning options available.  Omegatoy, a user here, has a 'warm' diesel that is regularly played with....   ;)

Quite amazed at the response from so many members,thanks again,well picked the old girl this morning from the local garage,they cannot sort out the lack of top end power.As I have said,turbo,Cat, full service ,red ex dieseil injector cleaner,the lot what now.I was told today to get shut but I really do enjoy the car.Does any body out there think that I may be expecting too much performance wise as the car is a 1996 model?Anyway  I am looking forward to reading many more replies, hopefully. Thanks again   John. :

Hi John and welcome.  I hope you get it sorted as a car with that mileage is worth keeping.  Maybe an ecu change for a range rover one?
