Hi, are you saying someone is tuning the new ECU's via OBD? If so can you point me in the right direction or let me know what tool they are using?

Thanks.

Me too! AFAIK Tricore Protected are impossible through OBD at present....

RRUK have you noticed any change in the flat spot when you initially push the accelerator, I was under the impression that a re-map would normally get rid of this?

I'm certainly considering the JE remap for my TDV8, and it would be so much sweeter to finally drive the Range without that huge flat-spot.

Steve,

Try Bell Auto Services on 0871 2884656 and tell him Japseroony sent you from the site and he may do you a deal on a remap and or a switchable re-map.

His kit is really good and it can be done over the phone depending on what you want.

Steve,

No worries, don't think you will get better than BAS but each to their own  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

Not enough back to back comparisons - that's the problem !

I had decided to go with JE, but they are only open 9-5 Mon-Fri in Coventry

BAS posts the unit out and you install yourself in about 20 mins - and you can restore back to original if needed & mine came with a 1 year warrany, so I went with that in the end.

I still have niggling doubts that JE would have given me more grunt, but I'll never know unless I decide to pay again.....

i like the fact that JE publish the power/torque graphs - no-one else does that.

Think DMS who are very well known are right up there with proper mapping have been using them for years on all sorts of cars , never had any issues , but not as cheap as many and it often takes far longer than 60 mins as each map is done for each car by downloading looking at the data and installing a baseline then altering to suit that car and your requirements. Including Torque delimiters on the auto box etc. For example my 2009 TDV8 took over 3 hours at the house inc 3 test drives until they were satisfied with the car. MY11.5 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 Santorini / Ivory Fully Loaded Arrived March 1st
Gone RRS TDV8 2010 Autobiography (with the proper engine)
Gone 2010 RRS TDV8 Mare Friday car Gone Rejected How can they send one out from the factory like this
Gone RRS TDV8 HST MY09 Bullet proof monk never missed a beat. Best looking RRS.
MY11 SDV6 Disco Time will tell.. Very Good so far

It is booked for the remap tomorrow afternoon, I can't wait. I will let them kow about the forum and thanks for the advice. Only issue for me now is it is mainly my wife's car and I have been told not to do it. I am hoping she will believe the difference in power is due to super diesel in the tank.

Fantastic! All done car feels super, fun to drive up hills at speed!

How is it feeling now after a few months? What's the consumption settled down at? Graham

TDV6 Discovery 3 in Stornoway Grey / Alpaca

Still feels great, I didn,t tell my local service department when the car went for new ball joints, when the car was brought round to me the chap was laughing at the way it pulled. It still goes back to land rover for servicing so the fact they noticed without being told is a good sign. With regards to mpg I am not the best person to ask as I tend to drive with my foot down all the time, around town it does about 18 and on the motorway it does a little better. As a comparison I also run a mercedes cls 320cdi with a brabus d6 chip, that is very quick and the mpg on both cars is very similar.
