My car is at my stealers for the 3rd time to have all the issues sorted and they have given me a TDV6 in the interim period.
I have to say this car feels gutless compared to my TDV8.
I would have to have it chipped.
I have also driven a few different TDV8 FSRR and they feel a little faster than my Sport
I am going to get mine chipped very soon as long as I have it long enough.
6 weeks ownership off the road for 3  Blick with blick windows, big wheels, tow bar for nickin, side steps for the tart, DVD screens for on the go porn, 22" Stormers black and polished... as a matter of fact just about every box ticked.....if I`m going down I`m going down BIG time. ))

Birdy - sorry to hear about your woes. What issues are you having with the Tdv8 ? Mine has been 100% fault free (although I am starting to hear a slight knocking from the front suspension which I trust doesn't turn into the issue I had with my TDv6).

Had my TDv8 chipped last week and this does give a considerable up lift in power. Trouble is it is so hard to resist using that power all the time. In my TDv6 I was quite content with a sedate pace everywhere. Now in the TDv8 I constantly find myself seeing just how fast I can go. Not great for the blood pressure, wallet or driving licence  RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

Tasmod did my chip. You'd be welcome to try it out but I am up in Newcastle. Will be down in Cambridge for a week in late June / early July if you can wait that long ...? RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini
