Anyone installed a Pedal Box to improve throttle response on

This is my first post here and I'm keen to hear from anyone that has installed a Pedal Box (PedalBox tuning throttle remapping response) on their 2010 onwards Range Rover Sport TDV6 3.0 Turbo Diesel.

I absolutely love this car specially in the face lifted and new engines guise but find the throttle response very dull. It's not the turbo lag that I'm talking about but simply reacting to a ligher touch of my foot.

Its not in any off road mode, just straight forward day to day driving. I took it to the dealer who agreed that a slow response is there and even got me to drive another RRS, which has the same issue.

I suppose its normal then, the car is powerful enough for me and when you put the foot down it just goes but its the inital slowness of the crawl that I find boring.

Would be great to hear from anyone that has tried the pedal box, from what I'm reading on their website, it looks good.

Thanks 2010 RRS HSE TDV6 3.0 with privacy glass, side steps, paddle shift gears, cool box.... love it.

I also felt the same.... but went down the re-map route instead and this has improved the throttle sensitivity greatly..

I've not heard of a pedal box before RRS gone

I chose Bell Auto Services for 2 reasons

A: He came highly recomended
b: I like the idea of being able to use the interface to read/clear fault codes, as well as having the flexibility to upload the standard map back onto the car at any time if I needed to...(and vice versa)

I think as a 2010 TDV8 you would have the same advantages, where as the 2010 TDV6 is an ecu re-program job (on site only)

There are 2 other mappers who sponsor this site who also offer quality services BTW RRS gone
