yes - literally a few minutes and at the same time altered the gearbox 'change' points - so that in overdrive it maximised economy whilst without overdrive it maximised performance! sorry the hark on but this is a cheaper car four years older than my FFRR - so many options available - many user selectable which was why i got a little heated about dealers charging to activate certain options ![]() i'll speak to him later this afternoon as he needs to fit the new Edelbrock front shock bushes i've just received from the USA - see what he can do on a FFRR hardly likely to be rocket science as its made in the UK ![]() |

Is it possible to reduce the 100mph threshold? It would be useful when towing to have it come in at m/way speeds. Ian |

Doesnt come in at all whilst towing regardless of speed as the suspension gets locked into standard height. Otherwise it would change the handling of the car/trailer if the height of the tow ball changed. ![]() |

Firmly locked into the ECU I am afraid. Can be removed though but via a flashing of the ECU, rather than changing an adaptation channel. Used to have: 2005 FFRR 4.4 Vogue - BRC LPG Conversion & Remapped Now have: 2008 SSRR 3.6 TDV8 - HSE and plenty of toys |

Does anyone have any thoughts/experiences of these places that offer to lower the heights of the various levels? It seems like a simple case of moving all the levels down by whatever value is desired? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
