Was trying to compare the Power of the TD5 to the TDV6 Discovery but the only units I can find differ and wonder how to convert them for a direct comparrison.
ie TD5 Auto 101kW (137.5PS) against TDV6 189bhp.
How do I compare like with like.
Cheers.

PS is metric horse power 735.5 watts old UK horsepower is 745.7 watts.
German horses are 1.4% smaller than ours but last longer while the French use a knock-kneed old nag and still claim to get 1000 watts all day on less hay than either of us.
I'd convert it all to watts by multiplying by the numbers.

Take your pick on:
According to my tables, 1 hp =0.7456 kW, so the TDV6 is 189 * 0.7456 =
141 kWStuart
iirc 1 BHP = 746 W or threabouts
I've heard that there's some differences in how the power is measured, so a few hp here or there probably don't matter. They're close enough that the shape of the torque curve will matter more.

they're almost the same - 's hardly worth quibbling over. PS and CV (Chevaux Vapeur - Vapid Horses) are both a fraction smaller than proper English Shire horses.
