why does it seem that now i have had my new RRS SDV6 for 6 months it now seems to have very bad turbo lag on pull-off???
You put your foot down to pull off but nothing happens for wot seems like a life time...

Has it always done it? They say the sport learns your driving style and if you have been taking it easy because its new then maybe thats the reason why, try driving it like you've stole it for a while but in sports box.

Have you changed you fuel station recently? Mine has only ever had shell diesel in it from new.

I noticed same thing with my TDV6 - felt like a rocket when I got it but now feels pretty sluggish  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I think its psychological, you get used to the cars performance then suddenly it doesn't seem as quick as before, it was the same with my previous remapped 2.7 sport, so i used to put it back to standard map for a week the put the performance map back on and you really can tell the difference, it used to put a smile back on my face.

As Ady says, my be you need to take it for a 'spirited' drive or good old 'Italian tune up'.
It could be a case of the auto box learning your style, or it could just be that your now used to it

Not noticed any deterioration in mine, if anything, I think it's a little livelier off the line now with over 4k on the clock  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

A trip to the dealer is needed ! SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

My TDV6 Does the same, If i am at a roundabout and want a lively take off, If i floor the peddle,I just keep rolling without any acceleration. If i don't floor it, it is fine. I thought this was a fault. But when i drove a new car on LR Experience it did the same.The explanation was it is Tubo Lag,It is very frightening when you think you have time to zoom away, and don't go anywhere  itisme

Turbo lag - mine dies

LR assist blamed faulty brake switch and replaced last week but still not sorted so will be going to dealer for action next  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

try command shifting it down a cog

I havent noticed any lag Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

As mse says, that way it works fine, i always do it when i'm preparing to overtake someone but i usually knock it down two cogs if the revs and speed allows Its not just turbo lag the gearbox can't or doesn't act quickly enough for my driving style hence why i use the paddle shift and sports box more than most people. sometime the autobox feels like its gone into limp mode till it wakes up then it throws you back in your seat when it has woken up which is not good for your passengers This is where a remap is needed in my opinion.

Done a test a few times today.
At a stand still put ur foot down i can count to 5 before any thing happens.
Dealer visit i think.....

That's not right, as you say, off to the dealer

Just one thing, you've not got it in a mode, eg 'grass, gravel snow' have you
It'll pull away far slower if so, just worth checking before you pay the dealer a vist  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
