i cant see why it has taken so long,, both them fualts are commen and well none in the dealer network???

we have a customer and he has the overfince superchager and exhaust,

its been chipped and tuned to about 490hp,

its qwick, but i must say its still not as quick as the new 5L superchaged,

I have a mate with a D3 and his computer is for-ever on the blink, it reads an increadible range one minute and none the next.
he is not silly and knows it may take a while for it to re-calculate but its consistently wrong.
To a stage where our dealers even admitted it but they can not or will not fix it. Its a 06 model and also out of warranty.
I totally agree, even if its well known, they sadly just don't want to know.

Overfinch is largely unknown here. I never actually seen any. Wow.
I almost bought a RRC with the works from the UK. sadly I gave up due to import difficulties.

Ph well

mmm gets me angry that dose, every car can be fixed,

we have a few now overfinch cars, we even now have a brand new sport with the kits, it looks realy realy good,

id show pics but im not keen on post other peoples cars with out them knowing

I've just got it back from LR for the 3rd time (they had it for over 2 weeks) and it just about killed me today.

Suspension totally dropped while i was doing 100km/hr and I was bounced violently down the road.

You couldn't slow down?

I've driven my P38A on the bumpstops at 110km/h with no problems.

Of course I slowed down AFTER it dropped, but I was on the fwy doing 100 and couldn't exactly slam the brakes on when it was bouncing so violently.

Even going around a corner at 20km/hr was terrible - the car couldn't balance itself around corners at all. Its not just on the lowest suspension setting - its dropped so far down that part of the tyres are covered by the wheel arches.
