My Diesel D3 was stable at that on the Autobahn . I asked at work ( LR) why it was vehicle speed limited as its not actual at max engine speed . 112 mph achievable in 5th & 6th gear on D3, and was told Max speed was set by LR Marketing , Petrol's were set at about 120mph

Same reason the 3.6 was never an option

Can't have the D3 outperforming the FFRR + RRS

I've crossed Germany a few times with a fully loaded D4 with two bikes on a tow bar carrier. The D4 has no problem cruising up to its limiter at 118mph indicated. It feels like it would go a lot faster without the limiter.

At that speed it's comfortable, stable, easy to drive but things in the distance arrive very quickly and a tank of fuel doesn't last long Laughing

Can one edit the speed limiter using an IID Tool Question

I've hit the speed limiter on a couple of occasions, but not fully laden. Certainly very stable.

You can indeed delete the limiter.

I can also advise that Oztent bags are not rated to 125mph (3 gps devices validated this number) and will burst at this speed if there is the slightest gap in zip to let the wind in.

Can also advise you do not keep an eye on fuel consumption when performing this experiment.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

What are we talking?

I’m guessing below 10mpg?

Ukraine 

The amount of Red Bull and Relentless I had consumed in the previous 24 hours, my eyes were sat about 6ft in front of the car Rolling with laughter

I averaged 17mpg or so on that particular tank so fair to say we saw under 12 at those speeds.
