What does RS actually mean?

Postby frontera1 on Tue Jan 05, 2016 9:17 pm

The search for a B sport 2.2dti continues.
Can anyone actually tell me what the RS models offer that non RS models don't have.
Cheers

It's short for Really Slow... :D
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Its just trim level as Robfog quite rightly said...the dti is quicker than the 2.8 though, so the 2.8 would have to be RRS spec...
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Cheers all. Sounds like an RS would be worth searching out then.

RS is the equivalent to the limited for the lwb's, doubt it stands for anything much other than the above lol. Rally Sport? But they used a lwb for the Dakar so I dunno

'Refined' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ........... It's a Frontera ffs, putting a working heater in a Frontera and it could be described as refined!
