Dealership is James Edwards. My gut feeling, knowing their approach to such things etc., is that it's not chipped. Simon I agree with you - its performance is fine as is - although i'm sure the TC pops the old cherry on the ntop if you need it.
I certainly had the Traction Control light on through the country lanes,m which was enough to impress me.
Lovely engine nonetheless. D3 HSE V8...

Still got the TDV6 - Mine wont be ready until Monday now as the spare wheel winch has failed - apparently "it's a common problem" or so I was told. I suggest we all rush out an check.... or maybe not - perhaps you feel lucky?
Oh well, just have top continue my unofficial V8 vs. TDV6 comparison.
Byeeeeeeeeeee 8) D3 HSE V8...

I prefer to think Mix 'n' Match... £30 of Derv goes a long, long, way.
Guess that makes it spg - "Smiles per gallon".  D3 HSE V8...

After running through your thread Mossy, it seems that you may not be saying bye, bye to the TDV6 for long 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Isn't it strange though....when the roles are reversed ...if I could afford to run it ..I would die for a V8  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

When you live with it, it becomes the norm. TDV6 is refreshing.
Mind you when the dealer rang, they said my car may smoke for a bit, as they've replaced the fuel tank and they've put the petrol back in that they had drained, but the container they stored the drained fuel in may have had some residual contaminant.
Maybe the V8 got wind of my mixed affections and is trying a little harder to please D3 HSE V8...
