Is this some kind of ****ing contest? There's no need to start off _any_ message like that. I've simply told you what TOPIX says - I've pointed out where it says it, and quoted the passage. To me that means take any other info cautiously, but if LR have changed their mind or spec then good for you, and bad for their bible. From your tone, one would infer that you're accusing (mainly) me of making it all up, just because you can't find WSM-16779, Sc 303-04A on TOPIX.

Jeez ...........

When you put your car in for work you put the original map back in - when you get it back from the work you reload your BAS map.

You can't do that with the 3.0 ltr ECU. BAS, BlackBox and others haven't managed to crack the encryption code, hence why they have to use the brute force approach of physically opening the ECU on the test-bench.

Yeah, it's a shame because the BAS remote system was very handy (had one with my D3). They've been working on the D4 for the better part of 2 1/2 years, but no joy in bypassing the security.

Cheers,

[*]ENGINE TORQUE - 600NM/183KW

Maybe you have the HI output motor......give someone else with the HI output motor a burn with and 8 speed and see who wins.

If the dealer has confirmed that you have the same injectors to the other car.....then maybe you have the HI output motor after all......the low output is then likely to have different injectors. I had sat NAV, dab radio, and able to turn the passenger airbag off....the latter two are not available in Australia! LR by the way have removed them from my car. Weird things happen.

I seriously question that mapping is the only difference between the engines...it would make no sense at all.

Gordon is a highly respected person on this forum, and without his passion for the brand, many would not be able to utilise the D4 and RRS to is maximum ability. He has provided to you info from Topix....make with it what you will.

I think a little more respect is in order (from how your tone reads).....Mr Bilbobaggins

Brett......

oh crap.

no no no Gordon, please not at all!!! im not implying that at all? i absolutely love and respect your comments.... no no no don't take it like that, im refering to TOPIx confusing me relating to this STD FLOW thing, nothing to do with you!!! please don't take it like that!!!!! wow this is the problem with written word , its upsets people without the true meaning coming across, mate believe me... i feel were on the same team!!again please dont take it like that!!!!

really mate please

Mr Bilbobaggins,

Brett....

Brett again, i respect gordon, damn it i worded it wrong, i didn't think it would be taken like this!!!! i seriously am trying very hard to find the info Gordon is talking about, not once did i doubt what he is saying relating to anything he said, on the contary i said i couldn't find it and yet i believed what he said he read, infact, its only due to Gordons insight and undestanding that i strive to get to the bottom of this topic, guys please understand... i never intended for it to be taken like this, Im happy to be wrong , ive said that many times, I admit having being a b*tch before but i wasnt trying to this time, really!!!!
