I am thinking about having my 2008 HSE auto re-mapped.Is it worth doing?Any comments would be gratefully received.

Got a Bluefin remap on my 2008 HSE Auto

Dunno about economy, but the engine is very smooth and responsive.

Thanks for the information, I didn't realise how easy it is to install (that being a big consideration)

I've got an Alive remap on mine and it's brilliant.

They sound good

One to tell you you'll blow your Haldex to bits, the other to tell you of your perils if you don't inform your insurance company.

Ron, how cynical you are

This is an end of summer ( treat if I have the money for mine )

One question though, would it be wise to upgrade the hoses ( turbo, intercooler ) I.e would a re map put more stress on these hoses? Or am I barking up the wrong tree again  Freelander 57 plate XS Blue Auto

I was going to re-map my last car, aVolvo V50, but was advised by my independent garage that I could do untold damage to the engine. I am considering a small increase in BHP, with smoother running. I am also aware of informing my insurance company.I have spoken to a local Landrover specialist, who told me that it would be beneficial to do it. Who do you believe? I shall speak to another Independent, but I am inclined to go ahead anyway,in the Spring.

Had a remap done on a previous vehicle, a Defender 90, after I had traded it in for my first Freelander 2 I heard the new owner had it removed together with the brilliant Overdrive unit Never did find out why!!

+1 for the bluefin. I took mine off recently, always do if someone else is playing with the car, just in case they flash it and you lose the map, but in my experience, economy stays about the same, but overtaking is a little safer and faster with the remap - I'm putting it back on as soon as I post this.. Be aware though, a bluefin is locked on to a VIN and will need a reset for a new vehicle, even if it is the same model etc. This can be done online depending on the firmware required, or needs to be sent back. This will cost approx 280 (I spoke to them last week as it happens, but kept it on mine instead).

Re-mapping will have no adverse effect on your car if driven with respect. But a decent re-map makes all the difference!

I ran Bluefin on my last FL2 for 6 years and 64000 miles with no issues. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Why does someone always have to say this ....

Most of us on here have been driving for a number of years! I can understand if this was a Polo forum and that we're all 17...just passed our driving test and that we don't realise that insurance companies should always be notified!

Didn't think it would be so easy to do a Bluefin remap, how do you uninstall it though? Kind of guessed it would be a one hit wonder kind of thing? Freelander 57 plate XS Blue Auto
