Hi regards for remaps has any1 heard of {JFA JF Automotive or even evolution chips} as there bloody cheap want to make sure aint no dodge

also i have spoken to LR and they have said that i might have an update for the gearbox but id have to come in they would charge to to have a look is there any way i can find out without gong to LR RRS HST J17YSP

Just looked in land rover mag and Pete at Bell Autos has a remap for the SDV6 £660 extra 40 bhp and 74lb ft of torque the Journalist seems pretty impressed with it, sounds quite expensive to me though For a reduced 0-60 by 1.1 sec. Now gone Orkney grey SDV6 HSE with body style kit contrast stitch ebony leather, privacy, black piano, 22" Lowenharts for summer, 20" with Leon LTZ for winter.
Here 110 black edition defender.

It bothers me that the prices vary so wildly for remaps. If you went in with an astra they charge you £100, turn up with a range rover and its 600 sobs! Are they saying the programming costs more for a rrs?? Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

Yes but it could also mean a lot damage to the engine and gearbox Producing more power and more torque doesn't necessarily mean its a better product, its all about safety margins and longevity of the componants you are changing and bell autos take all these facts into consideration, Pete can produce more bhp and torque but it might not last very long

Personally, I'd steer clear of plug and play add-on boxes and opt for a bespoke/live remap.
As every engine is different, a 'one fits all' box isn't the way, just my 2p  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

By sticking a box between the ecu and the engine you're playing dangerous games imho

Get the ecu re-programmed, then at least the ecu knows the full picture, it's just holding a slightly higher boost and increased fueling to match RRS gone

I'm not sure what tuning boxes people are talking about...but a friend of mine put one of those boxes that increases the fuel rail pressure, which was great for 2 years..until eventually it caused all sorts of issues and he's now taken it off wishing he'd never done it... RRS gone

I agree with what you are saying, but we don't always get to hear of a modified engine going pop because a lot of modified engines have some sort of warranty in place and the owners don't want to compromise their claim by advertising the fact that their engine has just gone bang but it was remapped to within an inch of its life, Thats why these mappers ask speciific details about your motor before remapping it, ie age mileage and any modifications already fitted to your motor, If a motor has got very high mileage with no rebuilds then a mapper may recommend you don't get it remapped because the engine may well be already coming towards the end of its realiable life and won't be able to cope with a modified map. If you went ahead with a remap and it failed soon after who would you be pointing your finger at.

Mmm, with the car beeing so new to me and reveling in the power I was led to belive it didn't have and the fact I still cant belive its a diesel!!
I'll stear clear of plug and play and enjoy what I have.

Thanks for the input guys

I had a 2.7 V6 for 2 years and 40,000 miles. 3 years old nearly when I bought it. Put a Diesel Tuning UK inline style box on it and it transformed the car. Better MPG and way more poke. No reliability issues and used the same manufacturer on 2 other cars I have had. The MY10 3.0 TDV6 can't be tuned this way so I am searching for an ECU remap !

^^^Give pete a ring @ Bell autos

My car is having a 100,000k service today along with a trans flush and EGR blanking (the light came on ).

$1,500 will reflash the ECU and give reliable performance and fuel savings as stated in the pdf (below)

Will report back when tested
