First day of ownership... I've had my TDV6 for since 12.30pm today and all I've done so far is parked it somewhere else on the health centre forecourt!!! Too much damn paperwork keeping me tied to the clinic!!! I'm going home very soon so I'll give the beast a thrape shortly. Hope it's more dynamic than the family's prized Disco 3 (great in a straight line on the motorway but rolls like the hills of England during corners! )

I clicked on the forum sponsor banner at the top, the aptly named "Turbochip" company and after reassuring myself that my engine won't (shouldn't?) blow up after being chipped, ruining the warranty, I'm seriously tempted.

Kam mentioned it may cost in the region of £400 but it looks more like around £600 including VAT.

So what do chipped-customers think? Strong recommendation? Are my fears of cocking something up and losing my warranty justified or mere paranoia? Most of us are reptiles... only the enlightened few become human beings.

I was phoning around asking the same questions today.... and I dont get mine until a week friday  Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

TDV6 benifits hugely from being chipped. Mine was done by my dealer. As far as warranty is concerned he assures me that there is no way to tell it has been done. Don't know if I believe that or not but, from my point of view, I bought a brand new RRS from a LR dealer and it was chipped prior to me buying it therefore I'd love to see LR try and wriggle out of warranty!  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

I had my D3 Turbochipped. I found only a very small difference in mpg but there is a huge difference in acceleration.
If I had another TDV6 or 8 for that matter I would have it chipped again.
