[For Sale] Freelander 2 DTUK throttle pedal tuning box

5 minutes installation, plugs in line with your throttle pedal.

Makes a significant difference to driveability particularly on an auto gearbox vehicle. My old sd4 metropolis used to be a bit dopey pulling out of junctions and the like and this really sharpened it up. Also accelerated with much more urgency in normal driving and towing. I think there's about 9 settings but the middle one always felt best to me.

You probably won't feel the benefits as much in a manual if I'm honest, but these to liven autos up a fair bit.

They retail at £229

It's surplus to requirements now as the car is gone.. £75

Surprised no one's taken this, it was honestly one of the best things I did to my Freelander. Any reasonable offer takes it, it's just sat here.

What does this do that a ecu remap can't?
My 2013 sd4 auto has poor response compared to my 2008 td4auto it's like nothing happens when you first press the pedal then it surges a little
Makes things like reversing up to the caravan tricky if it's on a slope or any obstruction under the tyres that just stop it from rolling on tickover

I had mine remapped and it was still a bit slow to react. This specifically allows you to find tune the throttle responsiveness which has the effect of livening the gearbox up and easier to creep up to stuff. I towed a lot with my Freelander and it was great

This arrived today, fitted and works as described. Went up and down through the various settings and had my eyes opened a bit. Does seem to resolve the lag issue when pulling out at roundabouts etc. Need to do a little more driving about in the car, it's my wife's daily driver so we'll see what she thinks.

Thanks to Yazza54 for a good deal and prompt posting, good man Thumbs Up

Pleased you're happy with it, these units really do work

My favourite setting was the highest responsiveness on the middle program (green light)

I found the red to be a bit extreme.

My sd4 metropolis was remapped to 230hp and with that pedal box fitted it went like a scalded cat

Standard Metropolis, have been mostly driving on the green program with two red flashes, your favourite was three red flashes so I'll add another red when I go to pick my wife up in 10 minutes.

I tried the red with three red flashes when I dropped her off earlier Shocked

I can imagine that on top of 230bhp Rolling with laughter

Cheers buddy Thumbs Up

Fascinated to read that a device like this exists. Throttle delay was one of the first things I noticed when I first got my Freelander.It felt as if th pedal was sticking and made reversing tricky. I sprayed the area with silicon spray and that seem to help - and perhaps I've been become used to it?

Do most garages have a piece of kit like this? FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

One reason why I went for this was for better control over reversing. Between Christmas and New Year I was doing some forestry stuff in North Yorkshire on a track in some steep sided woodland. I'd taken my wife's FL2 because my Terrano 2 was out of action pending MOT preparation. At one point I needed to do a several point turn, backing up to the drop with my buddy behind me guiding. I was less than happy with the jerky control through the accelerator pedal.

This box has solved that one. If the other DTUK tuning boxes achieve what they say then I would consider them a good investment. The gearbox flash looks interesting.

Interesting bit of kit, my question is would the different "terrain settings" be afected
by this device? bearing in mind these offroad settings do change some of the throttle pedal settings. DAVE.

There's a fairly neutral "City" setting that simply smoothes out the action from the pedal. This happens before the normal and other terrain programs have their effect. There's no reason why they should be affected other than smoother control, which is a good thing.

It will be a while before I have this vehicle off road again b ut when I do I'll have a play and hopefully add a few comments here.

Thanks for the reply, not worried about offroading these days, but packed snow can be a challenge
on many roads. Thumbs Up DAVE.
