2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 V8 Santorini Black

Had it remapped by JE on Tuesday, together with the ITG Air Filter upgrade.

Wow. Unbelievable. What a difference - I thought it drove well before, but now it's just fabulous.

I'm a very happy bunny indeed.

I am thinking about a remap I will be looking for mpg more than power, but out of interest does it get rid of the hesitation when in a low gear and also does it get rid of that annoying thing that a lot of RR's seem to do which is holding onto a gear when moving off for far to long before changing up.

I like the idea of JE but it's a drive, rovertune in reading are teamed up with Alive Tuning formally TD5 Alive anyone used them or had this done? Mutt

I think you might be right...

I set off for Coventry for the work to be carried out and re-set my MPG computer - mainly Motorway driving, and I set the cruise control so I could make an accurate comparison before and after the Mapping.

On the journey there I got 26.2 MPG - which, considering the speed I was doing, I was reasonably happy with.

After the job was done, I carried on to a meeting in London. Similar sort of distance, exactly the same cruise control speed - and I re-set the computer again. I was staggered to see the MPG this time was 29.7

Brilliant - more power, more driveability, more fun and more MPG.

Really really pleased!!

No hesitation at all now - takes off like a scalded cat. More power / torque means effortless and smooth transitions through the gears.

2009 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Zermatt Silver

Just wondering why JE over someone like superchips. i'm looking to get a remap done ASAP and was going to use JE only because they were very successful in building some tasty v8's back in the day but not on any other merit.

Trust you are still enjoying the extra power!

A friend of mine recently had his RR TDV8 uprated at Rovertune who carry out the Alive Tuning upgrades and is very pleased with the results. Says performance is now as good as my RRS S/C, but I doubt that, but would be interesting to find out some day??

Am I correct in assuming the JE remap stays with the car and cannot be removed when you move on?

JE will revert the car back to standard tuning any time at no cost.

2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

That's the big drawback with JE for us Northerners, we need a trip to get it done and another trip to get it undone if the need arises, hence my decision to go Bluefin.
It should be here by the end of the week! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey
