I'd like to offer a huge "Thank You" to everyone who made it along to another successful Rolling Road Event!

Thank you fasteddy for arranging another year of Rolling Road fun, and of course thanks must go to Clive and his team for allowing us back!

We had 24 or 25 cars measuring their power, torque and AFR in the most glorious spring weather!
We also had many more PHers simply pop by for a social. Thank you to those did this. It was great to catch up with you all!
We had some new members attend, too. Welcome to you all

There was also such a wide array of machinery, many offering lovely exhaust notes

As for my mother's Range Rover, I am happy to report some healthy figures above the original 502 bhp and 461 lb ft figures (quoted from Parkers).
Run 1: 557.9 bhp & 491.6 lb ft
Run 2: 559.4 bhp & 491.2 lb ft

In the interest of honesty, I must clarify that isn't the end of the story.

BC noted how the car dropped on the suspension at speed - pretty cool to witness as you never notice it when driving. Thanks for pointing it out
The side effect of this is the tethering goes slack, meaning the car shifts around a little on the rollers. This will also throw the result.
Added to this, the car's electronics shuffle power and torque, which can also give a slightly different figure.

This said, I'm reliably informed the car would definitely produce healthy numbers around the claimed figures

What a super day out, though. Thank you again.
I'll post a link to my photos once I have uploaded them

Next up is LowiePete's Detailing Meet on Saturday 22nd April, followed by the AS Motorsport Visit on Sunday 23rd April

Hope to see you all again soon!

Darren

Thank you very much to all for organising; disappointing result for the golf, but it's good a problem I didn't know was there was highlighted (I presume it's been down on power for all of my brief ownership!) - and a new diverter valve has been delivered today to hopefully get it nearer the 200 odd hp it's supposed to be!
