2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Buckingham Blue

Vnitos – that’s helpful thank you, will have a read.

Bellini – thought it would be Tom and I do trust his work and opinion. He has agreed to look after my FF so no doubt we will have the pulley, map conversation at some point. For the next six months my plan is to get it right for me before I think of fettling the engine though.

I know what you mean about the exhaust and I wouldn’t want it to sound too aggressive as it would be wrong (for me) on a FF but maybe just freeing up the airflow and some sports cats could be done while still keeping it muted.

I am not sure I would want to explore the top end in a brick either so I am more interested in low and mid pick up and it sounds like you have had good experiences with this.

Thanks guys. It says a lot about RR when I test drove a E63 AMG estate and found myself preferring the 5.0SC. Can't beat the driving position and the silky smooth ride. And the 500bhp is just the cherry on the cake....
