I’m not sure if you ever did say, but what did you do for your remap? Like as in did you do an egg delete or dpf, what stage is it, etc as i want to know for when i eventually get my own l322 tdv8

I do like the CarPlay screen in your car. But it’s very expensive especially if you have to pay for installation. I bought an aftermarket CarPlay unit and mounted it in the air vent recess on the dashboard. The power wire is the only wire required and I put that under the dash top to the fuse box. Looks good, works well and about £50 (Ali Express). If it goes wrong I can afford more units! My favourite mod of yours is the led conversion of the reversing lights. Absolutely pathetic before, excellent now for a few quid and some soldering! Looking forward to the remap video

700NM is the 'official' limit for the 8HP70 (The '70' refers to 700NM). Hence, Land Rover had to artificially limit the torque output of the 4.4 TDV8 to sit at 700NM. However, they have been successfully proved out to hold out at much higher torque levels, mainly by the BMW diesel tuning community.

The frontrunner rack *does not* bolt directly to the mounting points, it needs drilling.
