RRC 300 TDI retrofit cooling questions

<< < (6/7) > >>

PoPrivit:
have you found muck difference in the drive after the changes and how much did the rovacom set you back. Thinking of getting a P38 for my good lady and don't want to have to take it in for each service / checkup.

Range Rover Blues:
I bought moine from RPI, you need to have a look at the price list as there is a cost for unlocking every piece of software within the diagnostic but if you are going to use it then get one now and let is start paying you back.  I paid about £700 IIRC including the 14CUX EFi and the RRC EAS module plus one lead (they are £15)  Extra module are between £60 and £140 depending how popular they are I guess.

I've set the car back to standard, it was running an inch lower.  When lowered I find the ride a bit harder, yes but TBH it's still a harder ride than Blue.  I've bought some fancy air springs from the states as I was offered a good deal on them in return for my input, my car is tuned 'a little' and as an engineer they were interested in my feedback so everyone's happy.  I'll let you know how they go but you're talking about $800 plus shipping :shock:

PoPrivit:
I'm going to keep mine for the road only and will use it for pulling the caravan......Thinking of an intercooler upgrade and a pump tweak....But it's an auto so it's never going to be that quick :wink:

I found the ride quite firm but my other rangies have all been coils.......

whats the diff with the "import" air springs are they a better design.....

Range Rover Blues:
Yes, they call them Generation III and currently make them for P38s.

My LSE is only going on the road/pulling the 'van and I think you'll be pleased with how capable it is at the later, very stable :)

BTW your retro fit 300TDi, was it a V8 before that?

PoPrivit:
yep a very sick V8 only ran on 5 or 6 and used more oil than petrol  :shock:

but it was a manual with no clonks and when it's going it drives better than any other i've had and for a 1986 it was realy clean with only minor rust. Inside is unmarked bar the headlining. The 300 motor came in a box in bits for £300 with only a gen 60K so  had to say yes  :roll:

think i'm going to truck cab her now and bobtail so i can us it as a toy. I could just get a 90 and i have 1 to look at but i just like the look of a RRC with a bobtail and a truck cab. :wink:

just waiting for a call to confirm that my house sale has gone through and i can go and collect my new RRC. I'm worse that the kids waiting for santa  :D
