   My saxo doesnt have a tachometer on board, and i was just wondering if anyone knew what RPM the rev limiter kicks in at (if it has one).
   
   Also, the top speed of the diesel model is 98MPH and im just wondering does anyone know what the revs would be at 90 as i dont wanna redline it.

   most diesel wont go over 4k revs as there is no power there. Why do ya need to know out of interest?

   5500 I believe. Peak bhp is around the 5000rpm mark
