The remap figures are only what I've read on line... what ever they are, everyone us quoting 20 hp more than the top ffrr figure. If I can get it to do what I need it to do without a remap, all well and good, but if it's in need of a little boost to maintain lockup speed so be it

I guess the difficulty is integrating it with the rest of the car's systems correctly. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Are but the 7 series BMW used a ZF box with that engine, so there must be an ECU that talks ZF 5 speed that the rest of the car will understand..... And maybe the later 6 / 8 speed boxes can be made to talk as well.... and then I do believe that Manual was available on the X5, so I can't see why that couldn't be made to fit..... And although I'd prefer an automatic box, at least with a manual I could leave it in say 4th gear and not have to worry about the clutch slipping all the time, like the bloody GM box does.....

Yes, it's not beyond the realms of possibility to achieve it, but I suspect that the LR differences mean the whole lot has to be reprogrammed etc. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Nice idea, but I don't really want to be choosing every gear and gear change.... that's why I got an automatic!

You have probably seen this, and TBH it probably doesn't take you any further, but it might give some ideas as to what is and what isn't possible.

I'm DOOMED Looks like even a manual conversion is off the cards as the engine will sulk

I raise you 3.6 TDV8 towing 5.2te (inc' trailer). The FF did this many many times and the trip included a mile up a 1 in 8 plus several shorter but steeper climbs yet never had to come below 45 (B roads - not motorways - so no run up). No problems at all and compared to the D3 before it chalk & cheese (engine not chassis). Same load, different vehicle Remapped 2.2 Puma 90. With the gearing advantage it's not too bad and economy wise no different to the TDV8 or D3. My driving style got me (according to the OBC) 19 from the TDV6, 20 from the TDV8 and 19 from the Puma (brim to brim). Going by that I reckon the Puma is actually the most economical of them all. TDV6 D3 remapped is great but it aint no TDV8 and for site work you can't beat a Deafner Just MHO you understand :whistle: Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Back in a Defender!! |

I don't for one minute doubt that the TDV8 ffrr will tow everything that I hook it to.... I just can't afford one, especially with the large Road Fund Tax increase. At least I can get a TDV6 that is with in the same tax bracket as the TD6, and the other consideration is that I only tow for half the distance that I cover, and then I return solo, so the slightly higher MPG from the TDV6 would make a noticeable difference over the year.

Oh there is nothing like that sickening feeling (sea sick) when you stop at the lights and your load makes the car rock up and down... except possibly when you are trying to accelerate and the the whole shooting match is surging.... there ain't nothing like it
