Only on 2010-2013 with dynamic package. Should have the two squiggly lines left of special programs off position.



They are expensive because they have electronic variable valve damping inside.

I’d also go with the first one. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

I think you maybe referring to CVS continus variable damping which may have been a option on the earlier cars but became standard on later cars at some point possibly MY12 on, also thought the shocks were BWI on the L320 or they are on mine at least, might be the L494 ones which are Bilsten

Thanks chaps, so would I be right in thinking that all RRS's with the motorway on the program selector with have this type of suspension.

I only ask as the one I'm going to see for a second viewing has this option on the selector.

Many thanks

Correct. I will say it changes the character of the car when driving. If you shop around you can find the struts for less money. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

It's not helped that Land Rover used the term "dynamic response" for the hydraulic anti-roll bars (fitted as standard to supercharged and 3.6TDV8 and then later on all models) and then "dynamic programme" for the terrain response programme that used adaptive dampers to change the handling.

The dynamic programme will have the extra "wiggly lines" on the Terrain Response control dial / switch.
Dynamic response is most easily identified by having two yellow reservoir caps in the engine bay - one for the PAS, one for the dynamic response anti-roll bars.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

The dynamic drive terrain response tweaks a few things; steering feel, transmission shifting, suspension handling and accelerator response. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Yeah, the dynamic programme adds weight to the steering (but not anymore feel). Putting the transmission in sport changes shifting etc..

I don't use dynamic very often - I've not really found it to be worthwhile most of the time - the vehicle is license-losing fast anyway and the dynamic programme doesn't make enough of a difference at normal speeds to be worth using. You lose ride comfort and gain little else. I find the heavier steering isn't actually beneficial to fast progress on a favourite twisty road.

Of course, if one has fully road-only sporty tyres fitted it might make more sense, but I don't so it doesn't. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I like dynamic drive’s shifting over switching to sport. Sport just holds revs longer regardless. Dynamic drive adjusts shifting based on your driving. Then again I have the 6HP28 transmission and you have the 8HP70, if I’m not mistaken. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Yeah, I have the 8-speed 'box. I generally just use the paddles if I want to drive a bit more sportily. In fact, I use the paddles a lot anyway as the gearbox has an annoying habit (no doubt programmed by LR) of holding on to high gears as one slows down - slow for a roundabout and it'll be in 4th gear at 10mph - go for a gap and there's no response until the gearbox changes down and then "thump!" it goes. So I often use the paddles to get the thing down to second so I can roll in to gaps. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

So Jabba did you go for a second look?. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Hi Steve,

Well, I saw another green one on ebay by chance Saturday lunchtime and nearly spat my lunch out. So it's a 2 owner vehicle, full LR and LR specialist history, 83K miles. The current owner admitted to over servicing it etc. So on that note I headed out, luckily it was only 15 minutes away from my daughter and son in law. Dropped the missus of at theirs and went to take a look.

All I can say that it has been extremely well looked after, always garaged and cleaned etc. The owner and I took it out for a good test drive and it was faultless. Everything seems to be working, spent lots of time checking. IID found an issue with the HVAC recirculator motor, but the owner only covered a couple of hundred miles last year, maybe lack of use.

History wise, its all there in a folder in clear sleeves from beginning to end. It's had a new alternator as it failed at 80K, he said his last TDV8 did the same at that mileage. It's had a gearbox service/flush. Also a new EPB unit.

To be honest I couldn't be happier, I collect it on Thursday and I can't wait

I contacted the other chap and informed him that I wouldn't be down, I wished him all the best with his sale. Again that was clean, just covered 103k, the only thing that slightly put me off is that it had new turbos fitted earlier this year but they were refurb units not new. I totally understand the reasoning due to cost differences etc.

Excellent and photos please when you get the chance. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Will do

Well done - similar story to when I spotted my SC on eBay. Mine has a similar level of care lavished on it and has been owned for the last 4yrs by a JLR Master Technician.

4am start on Saturday to get to Southampton and a 220 mile drive back.

Happy days
