88k on it now mate.

Did it at 86500 roughly.

Basically decarbons the engine. Was impressed. 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE
2013 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE 8 Speed

Did mine two weeks ago. Quick and simple to do. Just 15 minutes or so.

Sensors looked clean. Gave them a good spray with Carb Cleaner regardless.

Responsiveness of the engine has marginally improved and it looks like mpg is up by 1mpg.

Pleasantly surprised.

my mpg has drastically dropped with no change to driving style at all. averaging 17mpg if lucky.
i noticed this coincided with me making the switch to shell v-nitro which is even more confuing
been on nitro for about 5 full tanks now. using the millers stuff each time.

going to try cleaning these sensors. is this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...yId_255221 what i need 07 TDV8 + BAS map

Yep, that's the stuff. Don't use anything else.

Worth a try but it sounds as if you may have a problem with something else. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

My rear anti roll bar is leaking and needs to be replaced. This was spotted 3 months ago but I couldn't afford to do it. :/wonder if that has gotten worse and is affecting mpg 07 TDV8 + BAS map

Unlikely its the leaking ARC bar. Check the easy things like tyre pressures and dragging brakes. After a run feel the wheels (not the discs) and if one is warmer than the others that would indicate a binding brake. When was the air filter last renewed? An inexpensive easy DIY job. Remember that colder weather can affect fuel consumption as the FBH uses a bit and switching on screen and seat heaters means the charging system draw more power from the engine. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

I would put it down to the colder tempreatures for the drop in mpg, using more electrics, taking longer for your vehicle to warm up etc etc.

63k. Looks fine to me? Require a clean much?

These sensor are diferent from TDV6 ones, the TDV6 seem to have a hole and no electrical thingly is seen.

The photos of the TDV8 sensors posted seem to be temperature sensor and MAP combined. there are more wires in the plug, TDV8 have 4, TDV6 have 3, related to 1 more values to control (NTC for temp).
