Hey Renaco,

I'm in a P525 MY2019 model year car and really enjoying it!

Got a good deal on one so came back!

When did they introduce the 525HP version of the V8 was it 2018 or 2019 onwards?

Its a bit louder than I expected it to be but nicely softer than an SVR suspension wise, around London its actually nice to drive!

Thanks! Non JLR Vehicle

I believe 525HP came with MY2019. MY2018 was still 518HP. Can you feel those extra 7 horses?

I had forgotten this thread and started from the beginning, seeing DMUK saying you were considering the SCV8.... and here you are with one at home!! Putting your money where your mouth is, that's what they call that

Renaco, that's the best looking RRS I have ever seen, quite honestly. It's delightful. And a shout out to Silicon Silver, the perfect colour!  L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

I was trying to see the MY18/MY19 changelogs to see when they rolled out the 525HP version.

I know they added the P525 badge in MY20 but didn't know when the HP went up.

Only done 140 miles (was a pre-reg) so haven't really given it a good go yet! Non JLR Vehicle

Can you share what a good v8 pre reg deal looks like? 2022 P440e AB

renaco,

when you're not using stop/start does your car vibrate a little bit when you're stationary at a traffic light?

Can't remember whether my SVR did it but this one has a slight vibration to it whilst its sat still! Non JLR Vehicle

So far I don’t remember vibrations at standstill with running engine, but I will double check tomorrow. 2012 RRS HSE SDV6, BOURNVILLE 12/12-10/14

Thanks!

Its a very mild vibration just wondering if its normal! Non JLR Vehicle

After 15.000km today my first 150 km without start/stop.

There are very, very light vibes, but close to 0 vibrations once the engine is warmed up.

I noticed in general, all engines react on the air temp and quality, so today it was smooth as it was a cold dry air.
Once the air is wet and cold, the engine is a bit less smooth running, but still smooth enough. 2012 RRS HSE SDV6, BOURNVILLE 12/12-10/14

Hi Renaco,

Yeah it wasn't anything major just I noticed the car vibrating ever so slightly whilst I was stationary but then it stopped the moment the car started moving which I thought was weird!

Couldn't notice it in the SVR which is even weirder!

Oh well also this car has only done 400 miles so far so still has a little way to loosen up . . . Non JLR Vehicle
