But why don't you want to have a look at the new Boxster. Okay, it's still not a real Porsche and it looks exactly as the old one but two years ago the cakes were unbelievable! Thumbs Up

And the girls at the service desk are unbelievable as well... Mr. Green  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration Wink

Mine ia mapped also but "breathing" is so important, talk to a specialist rather than an off the shelf fitter

Germany 2009 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

Arden & Matzker has some chips which makes your car faster. but 8,5 sec from 0-100 km/h with tdv6?? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes my one is not so fast (tdv8). or i can´t drive.. Rolling with laughter

ok, other suggestion: everything inside what you DONT need drop away.. Very Happy

I thought about.. really. i think, when you take everything which is inside from hartplastic and make it with carbon (also doors, trunk, roof), drop out the spare tire, drive with OZ ultraleggera (very light wheels), drive always with 1/4 tank, let your wife at home... yes sir, i think with this modifications you can kick down every (regular 3 liter) x5 Smile

I think, 300-400 kilos lighter the rrs would be an really "sport" car. and this you could reach with stripping.

It just my train of tought.. Thumbs Up RRS TDV8 Modelyear 2009 with some modifications.

Another way to speed up the through the gears acceleration is to get the battery disconnected and leave it disconnected for 12 hours so that the gearbox has to learn a new shifting pattern when you reconnect. After reconnection go out and absolutely hammer it in sport mode or manual shift - but you will always have to drive like that otherwise the adaptive memory for the gearbox will revert to economical shifting! Don't blame us though if your gearbox falls to pieces after a couple of years! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Good Idea , Tim.

I have reset my adaptive gearbox memory several times but it always re-learns after about 200 miles.. Big Cry

I dont disconnect the battery cables ...might get my hands dirty Laughing

BM, I thought the only time an RRS owner ever got their hands dirty was when opening and closing the tailgate - I pay others to have that pleasure. How do you reset the gearbox ECU without disconnecting the battery - just disconnect it and reconnect it at the ECU? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

You can buy IDS on the open market, numerous similar diagnostic systems are advertised in the Land Rover magazines every month - they aren't cheap though. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hello Bex,

I'm not connected to BJP , I dont know where they are or really what they do.

Yes I have an IDS but I dont think my post was commercial.

Mods please advise.

Thanks for that VW.

I've interrogated my missus and after 12 hours of mild torure she still insists she's never heard of BJP either.
