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
