Are you actually for real? Are you doing the work yourself (I'm doubting, as you simply wouldn't ask some of these questions if you were). What is your budget? £20k, £50k, £150k or more? Doing this will likely result in a non roadworthy vehicle...

Not to disagree, but Tornados own site says it is worth tuning..... "However the dominant characteristic is actually a huge hole in the torque curve, centred around 3000 RPM. This is filled in very well with the upgrade, delivering an extra...

Thanks. Sadly Horseshoe Lane has a Voluntary Restraint on it to drive it West to East. Think I'll have to plan to return at a quiet time and try it the other way round though. Bit of a lack of passing places if you meet anyone, so can see sense...

If I plan a route I never know if it’s good 1 way. Do look at contours when planning. Make a few notes about sections & if there is more about being better the other way you can reverse the map direction. Just need to remember road junctions &...

lol, cliff notes: When in neutral the vehicle does not move, putting it in gear and it works. :D

While laning this year we also did the famous/infamous "Bastard" lane, properly known as Horseshoe lane. It's another one of those lanes you see people driving badly on YouTube and making a complete hash of it. You can see it on the ground too...

Yes - nice to see some controlled and respectful driving. And very reserved vehicles that are simply capable. Vids like these make me want to get an old 90. My wife and my bank manager say different!

That S1 v8 made it look easy.

And sounded nice

Good driving by everyone. I often see that lane on YouTube and quite often the jacked up monstrosities make a proper pigs ear of it. Have you got a What3Words location for it?

Don't think a home amateur mechanic is going to easily or reliably measure cam wear tbh. And it won't tell you the state of the lifters. And even if in perfect condition, an aftermarket cam is going to offer more performance......

Yes the tornado chip is the only 'tune' I'm aware of. As far as i know it's not possible to hack the EEPROM. Otherwise Tornado would have done that. At 100k+ miles the original cam will be worn, it might last 500 miles or might last another...

Where are you getting it ECU remapped?

.

Why post this same question on multiple forums at the same time. Do you not believe the answers from one forum and want to play them off against each other or something????

The bed floor is an aluminium alloy, so won't really rot due to water.....

So a Tdi is likely to return 24-28mpg real world. They can do better, but you'd really need to try. A V8 is going to use more fuel, more like 15-18mpg and up to maybe 20mpg on a run. Don't know how many weekend miles you'll do, but making a few...

How short a range? As in what sort of annual milage? If you aren't doing many miles, then a V8 may not cost all that much more to run. And would open up a lot of choice. I'd also say keep an eye out for the 2.5 VM ones. The VM unit is more...

Hello. Me again wishing to provide an updated account of my air bag failure experience. At the risk of attracting pitchforks at dawn and threats of being burned at the stake for P38 heresy, I asked my local LR specialist to fit a coil pack from...
