When I say I did it.....not one to get my hands dirty I had a qualified professional do it. It’s a 5 min job.

I m surprised there seems to be so much confusion over it....in the press release for the new car jlr mentioned they’d changed the parameters for full valve opening....so standard you really have to boot it to get the valves to open. Whereas in previous cars it was much more on / off.

Like wise James - could you pls either pm me or share on here your professionals contact details as I would also like to do to my svr what you have done to the exhaust valves

Many thanks

Anyone in my area with a my18 onwards SVR,,I will be more than happy to have a look at this valve & sorting it so it stays open,,I’ll only need the car for a couple of months just to keep taking it out now & again to make sure it sounds right

PS please leave your fuel card in the centre console

Anyone care to share how they did the MY18/19 exhaust mod? Come one folks this was a place to help each other

Seems like SVR owners are all to busy earning a living to pay for the massive fuel bills

RRSman do you have a new SVR now?
Sally has done the exhaust valves so they are always open i believe but she is rarely on here now.

Its done near the exhaust exit and quite a simple thing to do i think, its just unplugged anyone with some competence should be able to do it. You can see the valve actuators underneath if you look.

I haven't as mine is plenty loud enough for me.

Thanks buddy! Not yet but seriously thinking about getting one but I have heard the difference between pre MY18 cars and those before and its quite a difference. I would buy a new one so need to figure out how the mods is done hence my questions.

Some posts earlier made it sound like its more complicated then just getting under the car and plugging the valves back so wanted to be sure

Would this be the value that needs to be disconnected to be always fully open ?

I've looked under my car and I can see the valves just can't get at them due to the exhaust being in the way! Does anyone know if you have to drop the exhaust down? 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR arrived but now rejected!
