2.4 performance???

[Mrbill]

Is it only me or is there anyone else out there with a 2.4 that does not have the common performance issues often commented on!

I sometimes wonder if I am in the right forum and have the same truck when I read about the 2.4. I know I probably sound like an as5 but my truck really goes! No problems with hills etc even when towing

Why is this???

Fuel consumption is around 19 -21 stop start and 26mpg on a run.

fancy a race?

I'm sure it does feel fast compared to your Massey Ferguson, and like lighning compared to your skateboard!

nothing wrong with my 2.4 apart from the fact its top speed on m/ways is about 75 mph .and great around town .

[GRASSMAN]

Well, my 2.4 is great, will tow at 70 all day,
22 mpg all the time, hills are not a problem either.

not trying to be a mattf here but u shouldnt tow at 70???sorry but ive picked up so many trailers/caravans detached from cars over the years,and ones the tip the tow car over too

May 2.4 had it up to 85 and not straining and so far seems better than expected MPG,i think how regular maintance and oil changes figure more than some other issues

My 2.4 goes quite well too.

It sure does! I watched your wheel spin vid - I am so jealous

No way! Not as powerful as my skateboard

I'm sure it would but my one day V8 conversion will mother your 3.0

My 2.4 is no sports car and of course there are better engines but a well sorted one can easily keep up with the traffic.

My mate has a Landy 300tdi 130. He tries his very best to lose me on the 30 mile run into Portree - he can't! I am a little slower of the mark but when going I can stick to him easily To keep up with him initially I do use the auto box like a stick shift!!!

[JUDWAK]

well my 2.4 go's 30mph on a 30 mph road
40 mph on a 40mph road
70 on a motoway
top speed is a matter of great distance in a 2.4
not that i have ever floored mine like
any how my 2.4 dont move

[POPEYE]

Well mine has good days and bad days, only thing left to try is new injectors, see if that gets rid of the bad days,
oh and route the air intake up the snorkel, its getting its air from inside the engine bay at the mo, nice clean cool fresh air might make a difference (if theres any about)

ive had my 2.4 for about 5 months now and cant say its all that bad. i do a 35 mile commute daily and 25 miles of that is motorway. it makes good progress as the police would say and can handle itself well up to 90. i cant say it is maintained regularly though as i only did its first oil change on monday.
it is a bit of a pig though when the autobox shifts down if theres someone in front who would rather go slow than pull in to the left hand lane.

ive got a diy snorkel but its not hooked up. would it be a benefit particualrly in this hot weather to have it hooked up?
