    Don't like the sound of that!!

    what is the rationale behind that? Too many turbo issues?
    same engine, two variants, detuned one replaces the 2.7L in the S, the "tuned" one goes in the SE and HSE.

    Nothing to do with mech issues. It means they can have a smaller parts inventory and use the same engine across more models.

    Thanks mate.

    De-tuned or tuned version LOL no brainer!!

    But will be keeping my 07 D3 SE TDV6 for a couple more years yet. Thinking of getting a superchips re-map to make it a bit more drivable.

    yeah, I figured you'd just skipped a little info in the articles.

    Speaking of remaps, I guess there will be new market for "re-tuning" the de-tuned 3.0L back up to spec or better!

    Apparently the detuned one requires more than tuning. Different injectors and inlet manifold i think.

    Yeah, I'd imagine that they would have to make it harder than just doing a remap - They wouldn't sell any SE's or HSE's otherwise!

    The full power 3.0L needs to be bench mapped as no one has got past the Bosch anti-mapping software.
    Interesting though that the new Full Fat will have an uprated 3.0L TDV6 available.
    The 3.0L has been aftermarket mapped to 720Nm.

    From what I can remember thre are a few of the guys on the forum with 2013's on order, deliver Jan onwards.

    My dealer yesterday could only give a ball park figure for the SD and said LR have not released pricing. The sales manager is following up with LR to try to be able to quote me, however I cannot understand how the guys who have 2013 cars on order know what they are paying, or have been able to negotiate a price?

    Any help appreciated

    Thanks
    Jonathan.

    I ordered my 2013 model at the end of July. Pricing was all based on the 2012 model prices. Maybe as we are getting closer to the release date they would be less inclined to do this.

    Cheers,

    I ordered mine on the 21.6.12, contract is signed stating MY13 so I can only assume the dealer either was given pricing, told there would be little to no change or took the risk to get the sale.

    Pretty sure your contract will also say that the price can change if the manufacturers recommended retail price changes before delivery. So even if they are "basing" the pricing off the 2012 pricing, if the MY13 has an increase they can pass this on. You would probably then have the option to rescind the order.
