Couple of years ago I bought the most stunning Range I have ever seen. I used it for around 6 weeks until my lease car arrived and then it was sold.
It's 2011, 93,000 and FSH. I have already set about making it my own, wasted no time at all and picked up a brand new set of 20" Turbines and General Grabber AT3's from 4x4tyres.co.uk and a couple of finishing touches from powerfuluk, lower front bumper silver strip and silver fog light bezels. I have the'Range' number to put on it (it's wearing the plates already) and I added a Bluespark tuning box to improve drive-ability. Now looks something like this, near identical to my old car..
To say I'm delighted is an understatement. It drives great, untuned it had similar power to my mapped 3.6. With the tuning box, it is much more powerful, amazing. I have a couple teething problems which we'll discuss below shortly, but there she is! We're still on honeymoon! 2010 FF 4.4 TDV8 Vogue - Gone 2007 FF VSE 3.6 TDV8 - Gone 2011 RRS HSE 3.0 TDV6- Gone 2003 FF TD6 Vogue - Gone 2006 FF TD6 - Gone 2007 FF 3.6 VSE - For sale 2011 FF 4.4 TDV8 - Current |

AT3 are available in 255 55 20 so I can benefit from a bit more sidewall |

How’s the Bluespark box working out? Have you used it for economy gains or absolute power? Cheers 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

Thanks guys.
The Bluespark tuning box I can recommend.. I cant really comment on mpg difference as I only drove the car for 20 mins before I fitted the box. It has made a difference.. perhaps not the gains they promise(?) but it makes a noticeable difference to the responsiveness of the throttle and it pulls harder, a lot harder. For less than £80 it's great bang for your back for sure. Fiddly to install but doable.. I had to get a step ladder and climb right up into the engine bay. ![]() 2007 FF VSE 3.6 TDV8 - Gone 2011 RRS HSE 3.0 TDV6- Gone 2003 FF TD6 Vogue - Gone 2006 FF TD6 - Gone 2007 FF 3.6 VSE - For sale 2011 FF 4.4 TDV8 - Current |

Hi Rich, you can get the Bluespark Diesel tuning chip box Range Rover Sport HSE 2.7 TDV6 3.0 TDV TD6 3.6 TDV8 4.4 for under £80 here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202180325210 Had the same chip in my former Chrysler 300c and it certainly got rid of the turbo lag in that car. Have ordered the chip for my 2012 L322 4.4 TDV8 VSE, hoping to improve MPG and throttle response, which are both excellent as standard. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Current 2015 E220 with AMG Sport Pack - Currently driven by my son 2010 3.6 TDV8 Vogue - Written off by my son |

That's the one I bought. I put it straight onto 'map 2' but not on the maximum, just the middle setting. I've yet to try it on maximum setting.
