Yeah I forgot about the auto stop/start - incredibly annoying! Glad to see someone else feel the drive modes are in the incorrect order too 😅

MPG mate, I've been getting around 17-18mpg consistently. On long drives +1 hour, I've had 26mpg at the best (70mph cruise control in eco). "Spirited drives" and it tends to hit 9-10mpg. I will say, since I had exhaust mod I've seen slightly better mpg - I'm not sure if this is placebo memory though. For reference, I'm also using 99 Octane fuel. Will do a 1+ year review next week, and will show everything 🙂

Yeah, the noise is something special!

❤

Cheers mate, managed to beg with Admiral in the end. was still expensive though 🥲

@@JayLScho I feel you pain bud 😣

@@ianmoncaster7860 centre resonator delete mate, worth doing!

@@JayLScho how do you go about getting this done?

@@chrisbaxter8120 If you’re UK based I went Keltec Performance only cost £170. In general though they remove the center resonator and replace with straight pipes. I believe this is the same mod Urban do, just for a lot cheaper!

@@JayLScho awesome, thank you!

Yeah the prices are ridiculous!

Thanks man! Will definitely get some more vids in!

@@JayLScho awesome pal look forward to it

Glad I’m not the only one!

keep telling yourself that buddy 💀

If it’s gonna take you that long, it’s probably not the car for you

@JayLScho I'm asking is that what you said? I thought you said you put £1000 down then £1000 a month? No baloon ?

@@DaleSteel Apologies mate, I misunderstood. £1,000 down and £1000 per month yeah. I got a fairly decent interest rate (7.9%), before everything went crazy. But, the balloon payment is circa 60k. I won’t be keeping this though, I’ll swap it out within the next 12 months, so I’ll never pay that balloon payment. (I get bored too fast 🤣) At current prices, I can currently sell this and pay the finance off. If you’re looking for one, they’re incredibly cheap at the moment due to all the thefts!

@JayLScho oh so of you hand it back in 12 month you won't have to pay anything extra? I'm looking at 4.4 tdv8 as a tow car as I'm car tradee

@@DaleSteel That completely depends on the cars depreciation rate, but technically with this SVR and the deal I got. I can do that today after 10 months of ownership. (Naturally I have spent money on a car to give back though, but I’m fine with this). For a 4.4tdvi, you’d have to check the value of the car you’re buying then look at the price of one say a year older with more miles to work out the rough depreciation. But typically regardless, you never have to a pay a balloon payment back at the end of the finance if you do not want the car. You can just hand it back and walk away.

Maybe I wasn't clear in the video. It's not just the response, which btw is only gearbox - that does nothing for the throttle mapping. If I wanted a quick gear shift I'd use the paddles. It's having the ability to get the car to firm up the suspension, steering and throttle with a simple click, I've had this in M Cars. I just feel like it's a bit of a design flaw not having this as a one click switch - which they have changed on the new SV, by putting a button on the steering wheel. They've put a physical auto terrain button, then give a screen, but you can't click any modes on the screen with this auto terrain button down. Seems a bit odd to me and I can't figure out the reasoning. Brake pedal, it's just a personal positioning thing again not got this on my other cars - I always catch my feet on this pedal but perhaps it's just my feet/driving position in this car 🤣 Ultimately though, I was clutching at straws trying to come up with negatives because the car is fantastic. Glad you enjoyed though 👍

@@JayLScho If you get tuned staged one, it will be light years better in terms of response. In order to get a 'one click' to dynamic mode, set your lower screen to whatever 'car controls' is called so that shows all your available modes each time you get in. Now you have a one-step to dynamic mode, its not fancy like the SV or M cars but it does the job. IMO I wouldn't drive around in Auto its kinda dull and boring compared to even Comfort since its always thinking you are off-road or getting ready for different terrains.

@@DrivenHard Yeah, just wish it had a physical dynamic button on the steering wheel like the new SV does. Will look into the stage 1!

Centre silencer resonator delete, made a huge difference!

Resonator delete with X Pipe makes the vehicle come to life on another level. I also did the VIEZU, pulley upgrades and ECU Tune . Will post soon

Yeah you can pick them up for a steal at the moment (excuse the pun). Amazing car for the price.

@@JayLScho Yeah lol they will come down a lot more , i live in Cyprus so i have to pay 30% tax on import now Uk left eu, so the cheaper they get the better for me but law states it has to be under 5 years old. I think i will get it forst quarter 2025 i got a feeling theft will only continue to rise and insurance companies will stay away

I paid £3,000 last June. 28 yr old, 11 yr no claims. For sure it’ll go up at renewal since the recent bouts of thefts though.

@RobertoSanchez-rz4qv About 16/17Mpg. Mixed driving, On a long run (200miles) I’ve had 28mpg @ 70mph. Which is impressive considering it’s a 5L and shaped like a 1960’s fridge. On a spirited drive you’re talking sub 10 though.

@@JayLSchowhen i got mine it was @ 4.9 I have teased it up to 15 now so feel quite chuffed

Cheers mate, wow - small world!

You can, the problem is the 2 car distance in my opinion is a bit too far still, as it feels way more and people will merge in front. The car then slows down to create the gap again. My other car allows 1 car length which seems far more normal. It never used to be like this, they done some update and since then it’s “too safe” a bit slow to speed up if the car in front moves etc

I used pilots in the snow last year in this, and it was extremely good for grip still. So far though I must say the primacy’s are performing even better in the wet than the pilots, yet to try them in snow. They are slightly louder than the acoustic pilots though

Yeah there’s a good amount of horror stories and I had a engine management light appear a couple of months ago, turns out an exhaust o2 sensor had failed which is a common fault- the car didn’t go into limp though and it was replaced under warranty. Other than that, no issues at all. Can’t fault the service of JLR, but I do hope I don’t have to visit them again 🤣

Cheers! I think you’ve made a great choice, you’ll definitely have less problems/glitches than if you had went for the BYS Seal. Yeah, in the dry it’s pretty damn quiet to be honest. British roads are terrible too. Stereo on and you’re not hearing road noise or wind at all anyway!

Yeah it just sounds incredible doesn't it. Like rolling thunder! Good luck with your search!

Thank you mate, happy new year to you too. All the best 👍🏻

Thank you!

Ghost, GPS trackers in addition to the standard LR one, faraday key bags and security bollards

Haha thanks bro

what ? a whole year for demo ? u really have wasted your time , its my 6th month and now i am going for a cent account

​@@dummywave-xe5lv It's not a waste of time...we all learn differently at and different speed. Stay humble.
