I know you guys have mentioned about poor throttle response when pulling out on junctions etc, just wondered if anyone has tried this product for electronic throttle bodies, seems to be very popular

had a sprint booster fitted to my merc for 6 years,it was the best tuning mod I ever fitted,transformed the car.

sounds like it could be a fantastic bit of kit however I don't have that sort of money as its two tanks of fuel lol When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

I had one to my 5 Series BMW a few years back it worked very well took a while to become light footed but did its job very well and the car became so responsive it was like a re map that wasnt if you get what I mean HSE TD4 Stornoway Grey ★ Rear Spoiler ★ Black Leather Interior ★ Panoramic Roof ★ Navigation with Bluetooth ★ 19 " Alloys ★ Alpine Stereo 10 Disc Auto changer and Ipod connection and lots of other nice toys ★

Sounds like it is the same as putting our cars into 'Sand Mode', which is a remap change to the throttle response.

As long as your clutch and flywheel are still up to the job with the extra torque at lower revs etc, why not?

From what I have read would really not bother. It increases the amount of throttle applied relative to the position, so say an original setup is 20% at 20% depression this could be 30% at 20%. Makes driving gently a bit challenging.

If you want improved performance get a remap from a specialist if you aren't looking for extra power just responsiveness a good tuner could set this up for you.

If you're thinking of a remap and your Freelander is still under warranty you might wish to look at the following message posted on www.babyrr.com. by XFullFatTim.

Hello,

Thanks for the message.

I can confirm that Land Rover do not approve any form of engine modification. If this is done then as you rightly said it would invalidate the engine warranty and any other part of the manufactures warranty that it may directly affect.

Our dealerships are allowed to sell these types of modifications but before doing so they need to be making it perfectly clear that this will invalidate the relevant parts of the warranty.

Hope this clarifies the matter for you.

Many Thanks

Could you please set out once and for all the Land Rover policy on these upgrades.
My experience from all the other forums I participate in is that there is no such thing as a Land Rover power upgrade for any of the engines offered and that fitting any form of "chip" or ECU remap immediately invalidates any LR Engine warranty. It appears from some posts that Dealerships might be offering customers power upgrades which is something I believe LR takes very seriously and do not approve of.
