Hi, I have just purchased a Rover 75 diesel ( ex UK RHD ) and joined the forum.
I have very quickly started to find my way around the car after only 3 months ownership and about 100 Kms.
I have already regassed aircon, changed fan, full service, repaired squashed brake pipe, replace in tank fuel pump and have performance issues - the car will not go above 3000 rpm in any gear, but will reach about 3600 in neutral.
With good advice from Jules, I am about to check turbo spins and disconnect MAF sensor for comparison.

Also need to re-measure fuel pressure sensor voltage ( was low before changing pump ).
I live between Toulouse and Tarbes ( I see other members near Trie-sur-baisse / Auch etc ) and want to know if there is anywhere to get a diagnostic check done - within a reasonable distance.
I normally do all my own repairs, and have a reasonably good workshop ( tools and 4 post lift etc ) - just a keen and fairly experienced amateur ( is there a french word for amateur ? ). I do speak French pretty well - including a lot of technical terms.
