HE is based in Cheshire
I have booked for this Wednesday

I will report once done to see how it feels after the remap “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

I'd would be very interested to see the results! Judging by the phone number I guess he is from Neston...not far from me! I also have a TDV8 so this will be interesting. I think there was a company in Neston..maybe the same company that was an agent for Bluefin Technology until the agency went elsewhere. And the upgrade via Bluefin was circa £400.00 if I remember correctly.
Anyway, please advise - as if it's a great improvement, I'll be calling them!

Hi
Well remap all done and I must admit it does feel very different on the 2 short journeys I have made today
Much much more responsive

Overtook a couple of lorries on a straight stretch and the power was much improved and smoother

Compared to other diesels I have owned over the years this engine is what I would call a ' Lazy engine'

Now it is very different

I will do a mpg comparison over the next month or so but so far so good 22mpg round town compared to 17/18

Guy turned up on time, did a check first then did re map storing all old data and then did a fault check and found 2 faults

For £225 it is way under the cost of other remapping I have had done

Ask if he'll do a deal for 3 or so of us wanting a remap all at once Cool Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

For true mpg figures you'll need to do brim-to-brim tests, remaps trick the ecu so the readings from the trip computer cannot be trusted.

I owned a car that had been remapped before I bought it and it said on the trip I was getting 55mpg when in fact I was getting 45.

Guys
I am not an agent for Dynachip and do not want to be involved in negotiating a rate for everyone else
Those that are interested can pick up the phone like I did and call him to book your remap

Note- wifey drove the car today and noticed the difference so that must be a result “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
