2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Lux Stornoway Grey

They would be my first point of call to have it put back to stock.

A DPF car requires working EGR valves. I reckon that Bristol place had no idea they were doing.
Always use Alive Tuning or Bell Auto Services for a remap on any Land Rover product.
EGR definitely needs putting back to stock. The DPF needs it. Trust Rovertune. They will sort it * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!
* Current: 1974 Lightweight 2.25L petrol. Old skool
* GONE: 2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Now being piloted by RRSTDV8
* GONE: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* 1949 80" in family since 1975
I use www.glenrands.co.uk Great independent specialist!

Update
Got car back today after new DPF fitted unfortunately although the car starts and drives it has lack of power around 2000rpm and black smoke pouring out of the exhaust. Also engine sounds very loud. Rovertune want the remap and blanked EGR valves put back to stock before any further work is done. Report states turbos full of soot but spinning free. I have no idea what to do next

Put it back to stock for a start. Get it sorted out and running correctly, and then if you really want a remap, get it done by someone who knows the vehicle e.g. Alive Tuning or Bell Auto Servcies. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

In fairness, Rob, their website does offer DPF removal as an cost option. Makes the vehicle illegal, of course. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Update = took to another range rover specialist and they ran live data and it appears to be the MAF sensors. These were replaced and problem hopefully resolved. Took for a good drive and no more smoke and much better performance.
