2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

you'll get better than 20mpg from the TDV8 (mine always levels off at 23-24)

You "should" get 26-28 from the TDV6 though RRS gone

2005 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Tangiers Orange

Thanks awdman! Are those figures before or after your BAS map? I take it that is a remap of some form...?

Cheers!

Yes mine's had a Bell Auto's Re-Map and it was done within a month of getting the car

I've found that mapping makes very little difference to mpg though (unless you turn into a speed junkie afterwards )

My last landrover was also mapped by Pete (2.7TDV6) and it's a must on the smaller engine.. mpg sayed the same post re-map on that too ( 26-28 ) RRS gone

2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

what sort of commute is the 80 miles? If motorway then at 78mph you'll get 28mpg+ from the TDV8 beast ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Yeah I think one of the first things I'd do would be to remap the 2.7 TDV6! What sort of gains were achieved from the map by Pete?

That's very accurate!

The commute is good for MPG, basically up the A5 from Bucks to Leics - in my 330Ci, which I usually get around 27-28mpg from in mixed use it returned 35mpg on that journey there and back! Which I thought was really good.

Pete's map typically returns +40bhp and +100lbs torque which transforms the 2.7 into a much more eager motor RRS gone

Sounds about the same as Simon @ EMAPS - he will take it from 190bhp to 230bhp and 440Nm to 510Nm, so perhaps slightly more torque from the BAPS map?

I bet a remapped TDV8 is pretty special!!

I cannot comment on anyone elses map... I chose Pete because I wanted the flexibility of being able to upload the standard map back on if I needed to (dealership re-flashes etc)

Indeed the TDV8 now pulls like a RRS gone
