Excellent prioritisation skills! Cracking looking landy. Where about in Yorkshire are you?
Talk to me more about the 1:1 transfer box. Any downsides, how different is the driving experience compared to standard? |

Nice looking example 🙂
Easiest way to rule out the tyres is to find someone local to lend them your wheels for half an hour. I'm miles away, but there must be someone Yorkshire based with a couple of spare wheels with tyres in the garage. I've got some standard steels with Michelin on that you could use, but I doubt you'd want to drive all the way here to use them! |

I have Cooper STT Pro on my 90 - I moved them from a 110 utility due to the noise - I foind them unbearably noisy....
I have replaced on the Utility with Continental Cross Contact which are much quieter but look a bit crap. I also have a 110 CSW and recently put it on Cooper Discoverer AT3 and would highly recommend. Done wonders to the ride and again quiet Vs the stt pro.[/b] |

I think I dropped about 10db when I took the muds off my double cab and went to AT's. Sadly my wife says she can now hear me talking again...

Thanks everyone - so there is a suggestion that that the Coopers could be partic. noisy - the LED headlights steamed up yesterday so they need sorted ahead of wheels
Co1 -I am just outside Harrogate towards Ripon - so the 1.1 ratio is interesting - first off driveability has improved - not stupidly but you can actually use first and on motorways you pretty much leave it in 5th (outside lane) with the remap and revised gearing coping very well with inclines changing speed etc - you and still use 6th but less flexibility to keep up with traffic without the odd change down - where it is interesting (and may help others) is that with the original BAS remap it stuttered in fourth - initial thoughts were the new mechanics but long story (this will not be the most technically correct explanation but you will get the idea) turns out that the ratio change confused my ECU as it uses speed as part of its calculation to determine which of the six ‘maps’ to utilise at any moment in time and the ratio change meant that the speed wasnt in line with ECU expectations - so in fourth it flip flopped between two maps with different initial torque settings (about 90Nm) causing the stutter sensation on load - so a quick unplanned trip to BAS had Peter on the case who was immense and after a quick test drive he identified the root cause where he had seen once before with an auto box that had the same symptoms again due to information being fed to the ECU. The solution for that was to make all the maps the same regardless of gear /speed etc so if it flip flopped it didn’t matter - one new remap later and it was solved and it drives really well -thanks again Pete- great service and expertise👍 |

Nice one. I’m not a million miles away from you in easingwold. Very interesting about 4th gear, but Pete is a top bloke isn’t he. Have you noticed any mpg benefit from the re-gearing on the transfer box?

My gut feel is mpg has improved but unfortunately nothing scientific to back that up
