My TDV6 is being remapped today at Essex 4x4 Centre http://www.essex4x4centre.co.uk/index.php?...;Itemid=65

I can't wait to see the difference

Has anyone else had their TDV6 remapped and what difference did it make to the fun pedal? RRS HSE TDV6 2006 - current wagon

I have used Fred at Essex 4x4 for about 3 years now. He knows his Landrovers and he is a top man. I have recommended him to many friends and colleagues and they all speak very highly of him. I have 7 cars and work vans that he looks after. I decided to buy a Sport because I wanted a car that he could specifically look after - weird I know!

The remap was about £399 and it drives lovely. I am getting about 22 MPG - but today is the first day out and I have been driving it like I stole it! There is a marked improvement in the low end grunt and pull away. RRS HSE TDV6 2006 - current wagon

I find 3rd has got some right grunt but as you say low down grunt is much improved

Iv had mine done and there is a difference car pulls harder and seems to run smoother, mpg has gone up to. Overall winner

22mpg with a TDV6

22 is TDV8 territory  RRS gone

me 1973 did you have it done and was there much difference?? Was going to have my service done there in a couple of weeks and remap at same time. On your recommendation.

how much bhp does the remap add?

On their chart (essex 4x4) about 50 bhp

Its not just about the bhp though, its how it delivers the power,

had mine done last yday with Dynachip n from 22 mpg i get 26 27 28 and on dual carriage ways i get to 32 25 and also the pull is crazy on it but i still have the stupid delay b4 lift off and in 3rd it just goes n goes n GOES  RRS HST J17YSP

^^^ Re the delay - try using command shift and select first, the car will pull away in second as default. worth a try, see if it resolve you issues  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
