Big thanks to Disco_Mickey

Hi all, just wanted to say a big thanks to Disco_Mickey for a busy day today working on my car.
Job one, changing both front suspension swing arms (think that's what they were called) car now drives great, no bangs or clunks. Will get the wheel alignment done tomorrow morning.
Job two, gearbox flush. Old oil flushed and swapped for new, so hopefully many more years of gearbox free trouble.
Job three, replace cracked/perished pipe, sorry not sure what one it was but split about 1inch along.
Job four, investigated heavy stealing, no error codes showing and steering UJ (think that's hat it is called) checked and all looks ok. To investigate further on return trip.
Job five, squealing/rattle noise on start up. Found that it was actually the new belts that were done about 6 weeks ago. They are legit LR belts so surprised at this. Going to change belt on return trip and hopefully resolved.

Busy day and great to see him work and ask questions, thanks 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

How much of a power boost does the bigger intercooler give ??? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I was also curious what "extra" work has gone into your car for the increase in power? 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

No idea, but there was a noticeable difference after fitting, even without the map Thumbs Up

My D3 has the EGRs blanked at the exhaust manifold, silicone hoses, big Intercooler, decat exhaust, and a custom map done on the dyno Thumbs Up

With all the above, before it's map, the dyno operator done a before run, and estimated it at 210-215bhp at the flywheel Thumbs Up
