Thread: 3.0L, 8spd TDV6 vs. SDV6

What Dagilmo says is spot on.

I have an MY13 TDV6 and it tows my 3.0T caravan effortlessly, but must confess if someone in Tassy did the tunes (necessary to remove 'puter etc) I'd be tempted to take it to the higher SD horse power and torque, "just because" if for no other reason.

I've not driven an SD so don't know what I am missing........

Electric adjustable seats would be nice I often think, but I don't need satnav as it is too expensive to buy a new CD disc from LR. I had a 2009 RRS and the Cd's cost around $250.
My mobile phone provides a better job and is constantly updated.

Very happy with my car!!

I read it as he was told at the time of his purchase that there were conrod differences, but later information contradicted that as he had detailed earlier in that post

The updated software is a remapped ecu.

The quoted comment from Gally at Autocode probably was referring to the difference between the 2.7 and 3.0. where the crank, conrods and bore are different. Nick

D3 Tdv6 can have the egr's simply blanked off. The D4 egra are more difficult and require them to be mapped out of the ecu (I.e reprogrammed ecu).

I have not done mine, egrs have not failed and regular checks of the intakes seems all OK. Still thinking about getting them deleted,perhaps one day.

The later D3's require the software patch also.

My 08 D3 needs the ecu patch, I know this first hand as I tried the blanking kit but got random faults and limp modes so put them back to standard. Haven’t done the remap yet , Car just Passed 182,000 and spends most of it life doing short city runs then 1 a year with do a trip of 10-15,000. Been tossing up wether I will do the remap or just replace when the time comes, but , like most things , I doubt the next set will last this long.

My D4 only really does longer runs now, so far so good. Been watching the Defender market, very tempted to trade up, hate to see the D4 go, but the new 110 just looks so good, might be a good time...
