Babens Torqetune remap

Hello fellow Landrovers

I have a 2005 TDV6se with a Baben EcuMap

The car is ultra responsive, fast and adgile.

Consumption figures (I had it for a while and wanted to test it out properly before I posted so here goes -

Town - 12.5 - 14.5 Lt/100 km (14.5 hard driving)
Out of town - 9.5 - 10.5 Lt/100 km (120 km/h)

The only problem is that you have to be very very careful on brakes and handling. You easily forget that you are driving a 2.7 ton (or whatever the weight is) vehicle.

Thanks Baben, Money well spent.

Mr D

South Africa 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Pretty much matches my 2006 TDV6S vehicle's consumption with the TT remap.

On trip down to Sodwana last week averaged 9.6l/100km at varying speeds. Total trip consumption was 10.6 l/100km - drove back a bit more briskly.

Average around town approx 12.6 l/100km. D3 TDV6 S - Silver

Hi Guys,

Took the Disco to durbs this weekend and I managed to get 7.5 lt/100 km. (flat road)
I know no one will believe me, so if someone tells me how to upload a picture, I will post it here. (I have been trying with no luck) Embarassed

If you are basing that figure on the on board consumption , then don't beleive it either . It will probably be out by about by as much as 10 % Big Cry

I can do that if I zero the consumption meter and coast down the hill Smile

even if it's 30% out it is still bloody good.

Did you let SWAMBO drive and forget to adjust the seat forward Rolling with laughter

please tell me more about the "air filter from Anthony" as I am looking to up the power/torque/sound on the Disco3 V8 just a tiny little. thought about a K&N filter but our brothers on the international site and 4x4 community forum seems to be dead against it - any suggestions

Don't bother with the filter on a V8 - it was great on the diesel but I saw no difference on the V8 Big Cry
