Hi.
My 2007 Range Rover sport tdv8.
A while ago my Range Rover decided to flash up the light of doom and the message on the dash and it said something like engine system fault or something like that.
I've had the problem fixed now which is great but this is not my question.
When the car does this the power is limited and it's speed is limited to 50mph.
Now what I want to do is engage this feature by flicking a switch that I would fit.

Why?

This state is Perfect for a new learner driver.
Low power and low speed.
A 320bhp superchipped Range Rover sport tdv8 is way to much power for a learner driver.
So my question is this.

What fuse do I need to pull or what do I need to do to create a false fault to make the car engage limp home mode?
After driving lessson I put the car back to normal when I take over.
There's surely a way to do this by simply pulling a fuse.
I'm not worried about codes as I can clear them down by plugging my thingy into the obd port.

Unusual I know.
Many thanks

Put Terrain Response in Grass Gravel Snow mode. It'll give a much softer throttle response.

I've got to say that learning to drive in a RRS is not a good idea. Buy a cheap Micra or Fiesta. Has the benefit of learning to drive a manual too. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I must say I am not impressed by that idea in more ways than one, get the person to learn in a Ka, Focus or something similar, or better still, let a driving school instruct them, as remember, the sport is a Auto, and they need to learn in a manual 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

Thankyou for your replys.
Changing the terrain response to grass, gravel and snow is perfect.
There is no way on this planet my daughter would drive a ka, micra or a fiesta and especially a manual.
I can hear it now (((((((((((((((grief))))))))))))). She has no intention to look at a manual car ever and to be honest I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to drive a manual car these days with traffic like it is.
Plus I can't see her driving any kind of egg whisk of a car. She's a worse petrol head than me.
She can actually drive tho. Shes raced karts for years. So she knows what she's doing on a track.
Yes unfortunately my family are into cars in a big way hence why she's learning in my old rangie sport.
She's not getting her paws my new SVR tho. That's a no no. Nor any of my other super cars either. There locked and chained to the garage wall.
I can imagine it now ((((( Dad I'm taking the lambo tonight )))))
But she's promised a nice new evoque upon passing her test. She likes one of those.
She's going to need it with medical school and all that.
Many thanks

You could talk to one of the remap suppliers and ask them for detune. Some provide a switchable map system so you can swap maps. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

All petrol heads need to be able to drive a manual.

Why? Autos are so good now with flappy paddles and sequential shift options. Even my Luddite mother who is 88 years old will drive my RRS quite happily despite "hating automatics because you control of the gearbox to a computer". Her own Honda Civic is a manual but she will not drive my father's Honda Jazz with it's awful CVT auto and I won't drive that either, it is a dreadful device that sends the revs screaming for absolutely no go and the "stop/start" on it is very very confusing so it gets left off. My mother uses the paddle shift in my RRS more than I do, she loves it. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Because so many performance and sports cars over the last 50 years have been manuals and the vast majority of cars in motorsports are manual, only driving an auto is very limiting.

Personally I like driving an auto day to day and never bother using command shift, but the ability to drive a manual is vital if you are interested in anything other than the latest generation of sports cars, plus it makes renting a pita in a lot of places.

I think the days of the manual gearbox are numbered, modern auto's are so sophisticated it boggles the mind.

The Rolls Royce Ghost 2's gearbox is tied into a miriad of systems including the satnav, it uses the data from that along with road speed etc. to predict and preselect gears for corners and hills; making it far more efficient than any manual gearbox and arguably is just as (if not more) inteligent than a decent driver.

The ZF 8HP box that's fitted to the RRS has a 200ms shift time and a claimed 14% improvement in mpg over a standard 5 speed manual box.

Lamborghini and Ferrari have both dropped manual boxes.. as I said previously, the days of the manual box are numbered.
