shows plug and play chips not to be the best option in my opinion.

Aren't these a remap, not a plug in chip? Phil |

Indeed, it is a generic remap - the clever bit is the ability to flash on / flash off the modified map. New: Freelander2 GS 62 plate (MY13) - Santorini Black with Clearview & Front PDC Old: Freelander2 XS 09 Plate - Zermatt Silver with ST3 remap (eco map), Garmin 1490T Sat Nav, Rear Seat Entertainment kit |

Having spent the last few days driving the D3 around, I would have to agree. The Freelander is a better driving car, much more nimble. There were a number of places in narrow lanes, where I couldn't turn the D3 around and had to reverse for ages. Didn't like the auto box, although its not that bad on D3, just don't like them. Biggest down side was getting 21.9mpg and not even driven hard. So Mrs. S can whistle, there's no chance of getting one. Nice inside though!!

No, its the previous V6 I believe, although not well versed in Disco facts! It does have to work hard to move that size of lump though! Therefore eats lots of food!!

Collected car today. The dealer cleared the error message with some s/ware wizardry, but were asked by LR Solihull to try to replicate problem The issue definately points towards a Turbo boost problem - or at least a perceived one.

I've never really understood the mentality of chipping a big, heavy slow 4x4 estate??? Can someone enlighten me as to why people do this? I used to have an RX8, fast, handled like a dream & went like stink, but now I have a FL2 XS & drive it accordingly. Will be replcing my missus MX5 with a newish TT soon as I still like a spin in a quick car now & again! Just my two penneth, but I don't get it.... |
