Thanks Bodsy. Just hooked it up via bluetooth Smile Result. All I need to sort now is how to set the memory in the drivers seat. Feel like a contortionist every time I climb in lol


From T' manual:

Once you have adjusted the driver's seat,
steering column and exterior mirrors for your
ideal driving position, the vehicle can memorise
these settings for future use.
1. Press the MEM button to activate the memory
function.
2. Within five seconds press button 1, 2 or 3 to
store the current driving position to the
chosen number. Any existing setting on that
button will be over-written.
A stored memory position can be recalled with a
press of the appropriate button; 1, 2 or 3. The
seat, steering wheel and mirrors will move to
their preset positions.

The V6 can be tuned to be as quick as the V8 is standard.
But a decent remap transforms the V6 into what it should have been from the factory

But then the V8 can be mapped to 320bhp...

My V6 certainly isn't slow, and has surprised many hot hatches Whistle


What do you mean? I have a TDV6 too...how to make it faster and more than 200km/h Laughing Shocked Razz


Mikey's D3 is remapped with an uprated intecooler, de-cat pipe and perfomance exhaust (plus blanked EGRs).

Mine also has the remap and intercooler, blanked EGRs and I have a de-cat pipe waiting which will be fitted soon.

Top speed is a different matter and would need the speed limiter raising/removing.


Ok, can you tell me some details...what is that parts and how to remap and what the effort...if not max speed so more acc and hp?

ok, so I picked my RRS V8 up on friday and love it so far. Now, I find it pulls to the left when driving on motorway and also under acceleration, it seems to want to pull quickly to the left then when backing off it goes back right. Its noticable to me but im fussy like that. Anyway I inspect the tyres and notice the two front tyres are different brands.

Having run 4wd for years on performance cars, Ive always had the same type of tyre on each axle, and usually all tyres same so that it doesnt affect diff. Is the RRS the same? Should I go back to dealer and demand two new front tyres the same as the rears? They all look relatively new but im not happy two fronts are different. Might go see dealer in morning but do I have a case ? My first RR so all new to me.
thanks

I would, but I don't know whether you'd have any luck. Wouldn't be too concerned about them being the same as the rears unless they were different types (i.e. Road/AT/MT). Thumbs Up Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

well as expected dealer didnt want to know. They alignment re-checked which was slightly out but its still the same, pulling slightly to the left, worse under acceleration. Anyway, ordered the new tyres up for tomorrow as they wont pay for tyres, im just changing them as I hate having an odd tyre on the car. Aesthetics are important you know.

Also going to refurb the Brembo calipers properly and do them red. Again because theyll look nicer.

mine has the running boards, and whatever it came with, only difference is ive just fitted the towbar wiring and a towbar for my track days. Smile
Thinking about an exhaust for it but to be honest, I like the peace and quiet. Smile

I do have a high pitched squeal now at 1800 revs so will have to investigate that. My nav screen keeps intermittently going pixelated/lines and unviewable. Must be the joys of RRS ownership.
