It's a diesel and its a 55 plate. Don't think it matters ? Could be wrong though. |

Lot of work for not much gain. It's turbo so isn't going to sound loud. I removed my rear boxes too and the car was plenty loud enough. I then removed centre section to have a look and started the car whilst box was off. It sounded the same with and without centre box. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

I've been threatening the rrs for a while now with replacement. And it doesn't seem to make any difference so I keep spending money on it hoping its gonna make me want it more. Similar situation with the wife. |

You're driving an early 2.7 and you're blaming the vehicle for being "not enough"? Why don't you get one with some more cylinders? The 4.2 S/C has plenty of go with V8 rumble (especially if you remove the rear boxes). The TDV8 has enough go for most occasions and also has a V8 rumble which is also increased by removing the rear boxes. Both can be mapped (as can the 2.7 of course) for even more go if required. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I have considered a tdv8 or even a supercharged. Wondering what mine is worth, low miles 58 thousand java black very clean 22" super sport reps ?? Prob could get in a tdv8 or charged for not much more money. I do like my tax bracket tho but not the end of the world to pay a bit more. |

I don't understand the low tax issue - these things cost over £100 to fill the tank. Do any sort of mileage and the fuel cost outweighs the tax difference by some margin. For £200pa I'd rather have an RRS that goes properly...and no matter what you do to the V6, it'll never sound as good as one of the V8 varieties! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
