How to raise Dturbo rev limiter?

Hello,

I need to raise the limiter from about 4500 to 5100rpm. The car has a Lucas pump. I tried turning a screw on the top left (or is it right) of the pump but that adjusted the idle. There is another screw but has a tamper mechanism (small chain) on it. Is that it? Can anyone point me to a pic of a Dturbo engine bay?

P.S. I'm not the most mechanically minded person, but you already got that

Why on earth do you want to raise the rev limit on a turbo diesel ?

By 4000rpm, all the useful work is done anyway..

If you set the rev limiter as high as 5100, your diesel engine will surely die on next MOT ...

No point raising the rev limit unless its modded, they will rev that high but there is no point, i never need to rev mine over 4500rpm, power drops sharply beyond that point but its not heavily tweaked.
