I hope you find the cause soon as i undrstand how frustrating a delayed throttle response is.

Thanks.

I was in traffic so never got a chance to find out what happens if I let the brake go ..... it might still falter. Later experiment .... when I remember ..... LOL!!!

Definitely looking at all options and the car is due in to LR soon ..... I'll discuss with them to lever something down the brake switch path.

As you said, there is anecdotal evidence to suggest this may be the cause. I'm still hedging a software issue .... communication or interpretation which the brake switch could be part of.

It's interesting though, that people who have re-mapped report the issue gone. Considering a re-map is modifying what does what and when purely driven by software.

Cheers.

There’s lots of comment and opinion here re IDrive.
As BAS don’t do a tune for the SDV6 Discovery 4, and the recommendation not to chip / reflash the 3.0 litre, Ive bought an IDrive two days ago via the web site.
I received it today which is great service.
Plug and play so a 5 minute install, and then off for a drive.
WOW, what a difference to the standard pedal response and low rev take off.
It felt like a different car.
Ive kept it set on the factory automatic setting for now.
Its great in the lower rev range, and after driving two/three times, I’m adjusting my input accordingly, making it a smoother experience.
I just need to stick it to my dash in a suitable place. There’s plenty of room and options.
Highly recommended, as you’re not injuring the engine at all, it’s just better software at the pedal.
Just do it!

So the typical lag from a standing start, is it altered?

Altered?
Its gone!👍

Interesting. My experience is that any significant throttle from a standing start is very delayed before eventually things really kick off. What is a standing start like now for you if you give it a good hit, not flat to the floor but you want to take off?

It’s not an issue Scott.
Lots of immediate power, I surprised myself how well it drove today.

Scott,

I purchased one this week and it arrived yesterday, fitted this morning. As mentioned previously here, the difference is quite amazing. If you want to catch up sometime and experience the difference, before purchasing, let me know.

cheers

Is it even more peppy than putting it in "Sand" mode, and conversely how is it in "Sand" mode, not too wild?
