Hi All, having just purchsed my 2006 RRS 2.7TDV6 several people have suggested I get it chipped saying it will improve throttle response and Fuel economy. Is this something that is easily done or a major expensive project?

Hi Ned, welcome to the site
Yes chipping the 2.7 engine is a good thing, but i would personally have it remapped. I had mine remapped by Pete at Bell Autos (site sponsor) He knows his stuff and is a great help. Its all done via an interface unit and can be switched back to your original map should you want to for service intervals or warranty work etc. It really does make all the difference having it mapped.

Blank the EGRs too. That will improve things too.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hi google alive tuning, I have no affiliation to them, but Gary at live has done great work on my RRS and previous td5 disco, great bloke honest work

I'm in Yarmouth tomorrow shame I'm not bringing RRS or I'd show you the difference 2010 TDV8 Bali Blue........ "Alive Tuned"

Had the RRS remapped on Friday. Change is brilliant no lag, excellent pick up and was getting a 36MPG indication.

Anyone recommend someone near me, I live in Nuneaton. 3.0 HSE RRS Stornaway (current)
Evoque Prestige Lux (gone)
3.0 a Disco 4 (gone)

I somehow doubt that you are really getting an actual 36mpg unless you constantly drive the Acle straight at 55 mph and accelerate like a Nanna ....try a real fill up check. I did lots of 60mph freeway driving with my RRS (pathetic speed limits here from the Nanny State) and didn't get 36 mpg Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

I doubt it was actually 36 as well hence the added indication at the end. Still an improvement though and I am more pleased about the loss of the Lag.
