45k service and loss of TorqTune
Just got the car back from its 45k service and it feels like it has lost its TorqTune!!! Anyoone else experienced this or is it just the cold (-1 to -3C) new, viscous fluids??? Get up & go has got up and gone, it is back to its sluggish "normal self", slow to shift down, and pickup from stationary has that delay. Any definative way of telling in case I'm just being paranoid??

I thought when you bought a TorqTune you got it re-installed FOC should this happen?
I looked into getting it done briefly (TFC didnt have me in armlock at the time )I didn't read the small print so ready to be corrected as always A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

I'm sure TFC will reinstall if you have the "code".
Ive had my non torqtune remap reinstalled 3 times so far at no cost.Duncan

And the woes continue!!!
Just went to take hounds out for their afternoon walk, car having been at access height. Put it in Normal height & thought nothing more. When I went along a short stretch of A road to see if Mrs DSL thought the car was gutless again the red warning height stability symbol came up, suspension fault speed limited to 30mph, vehicle will raise slowly and special programs not available were the messages that flashed up, though not necessarily in that order. Parked up & Mrs DSL cycled through height settings & noticed that the rear of the car was going up a bit but the front was moving painfully slowly. "OK, this is going to be fun" I thought I but took the boys out to chase the local red squirrels, thinking this might need just a reset.
Got back to the car, headed off, just vehicle will raise slowly warning. Used little A road section & got up to 50mph when got all of above. Also car was very bouncy, luckily just at home. Pulled onto drive & car was on bump stops, looking very sorry for itself. LRA called & waiting to hear when they will have a technician here!
No worries re TFC redoing the remap, just not planning to head south for a good while.

If the TT is based on the Autologic remap you will get a Reciept Code that will allow it to be re-flashed. Better talk to TFC to avoid speculation though.Club Exped trailer
Club Timed Climate
Club Flappy paddle steering wheel
Club 300bhp
Club Prospeed test pilot/lab rat
Club National Luna Stella conditioner

Hi Derek thats not so good eh
Get the car serviced and get it back in a worse condition,hopefully its an easy fix.
keep us posted. Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!

Possibly a compressor problem Derek
Strange if it is as that'll be the second one recently that's had issues with the compressor right after a service Are dealers removing them and replacing them with duff ones? Maybe we should make a note of the compressor serial number before going in for service The End

The LRA guys carry spare compressors so couldn't they change it on site if necessary.
