My TDV6 Disco3 was certainly chipped and it made a heck of a difference. However, I simply can't see any need to chip the TDV8 as it performs exceedingly well out of the box. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom Smile

This is why it's worth doing....

From LRO Magazine:

"At the high end of the market Company X produce the TdV8 Range Rover. Powered by a XX modified diesel this unique vehicle boasts 315bhp and a stump-pulling 800Nm of torque, all delivered with the elegance and presence that is the hall mark of a Range Rover."

Obviously there are lots of places to have such work done and as a Moderator I sit entirely on the fence with splinters in my arse. Discovery 4 HSE

I'm all for telling people about a great company and service to match but Martin kindly pointed out that there are other firms that do a similar job and I must not seem biased as a site mod.

yes,

plus JE are just down the road from you, and I would trust them more than anyone else due to their historic relationship with LR and their previous development of LR engines. I am sure they recently had a 30% discount offer on - and if you are not happy with it they will reinstate your car FOC - or so they told me - a long time ago mind...

United Kingdom 2003 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Java Black

I had my TDV6 RRS chipped and it made a slight noticeable difference to performance and quiet a difference to the mpg Thumbs Up

I also had my TDV8 RRS chipped and Censored me it made a huge difference to perfomance Mr. Green and made my fuel consumption go down Exclamation probably because i couldnt resist planting my right foot firmly on the pedal Twisted Evil

I wont bother having the TD6 chipped as hopefully i wont be keeping it long enough, however if i do keep it for a while i will have it done Thumbs Up
