Thread: Rolling Road for 4WD in Perth...

Well, in the hunt to find possibly a missing 23 galloping horses, from the elusive 122 to 150 BHP ECU query, I am keen to Rolling Road my Defender!

I found a very well set up place yesterday
( Walkinshaw Performance Service Centre | Authorized Service Centre in Perth For Holden & HSV ) with a $500k rolling road (normally used to tune high performance Oz V8's!) and I asked the guy if it was possible to RR the Defender. He asked all sorts of questions about me having to somehow remove the permanent 4WD, disable the TC, ABS etc etc, all of which I had not though about really, having previously only strapped RWD cars to the rollers!

So, does anyone know of a RR place that is set up from the get-go to do a power run on a 4wd please? If not, how do I go about setting up the Defender to do this as a RWD vehicle?

Cheers,

Pete

If you search on your VIN number does it indicate engine tune very OT just size 2.2

I think everyone and anyone with a puma defender got that supplement page in the handbook. Was told by land rover that it doesnt apply to australian defenders and dealers were just to lazy or were unaware of the supplement page and forgot to remove them when selling the vehicle
