| New RRS Owner - Need my TDV6 Chipped | |
Dear All,
In my fourth week of being a RRS owner, which I must admit to having some mixed emotions as I used to own a Disco3 which was such a versatile truck. 
Will take me a while to get used to lack of space inside the cabin.
Decided to load up with goodies instead of going for a TDV8 with minimal toys. Ordered a Rimini Red with Alpaca leather, Sunroof, Nav, Premium Stereo, Xeons, Fridge, Rear DVD, Phone PTI, and TV! 
Having driven the new car from Melbourne to our new home in Brisbane it is well and truly run-in.
One thing I would like is more power, and instead of getting a divorce  to allow me to trade it in for a TDV8, I was hoping there might be someone I could get my RRS chipped in Brisbane.
Anyone out their 
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Was your disco3 a tdv6 as well?? if so, did you perceive any power difference??
I drove a disco3 demo with 7k on the clock and a rrs tdv6 with 2k on the clock...and the disco had more go...
i wonder if that was because it was well run in...??
I went down the same route as you, optioned up a tdv6 (still waiting for mine though), so i might be having the same power pangs as you have...

Andrew i think sometimes it is pure perception, i had a D3 for just over a week while the sport was in for some paint work repairs and servicing etc. I found the D3 TDv6 or perceived it to be a lot more sluggish than my sport, i thought i had to work it harder to get it anywhere near the type of response i wanted, but once again no science behind it..no doubt it had the same performance, i had preconceived notions of what to expect..
