Has any one here had their car chipped. Been looking at this http://www.ebay.com/itm/300873360440
Anyone got any feedback ? Don't know if they are worth it or not?

Plenty of references on the bulletin board (that's what the 'Search' option is for). Most people recommend remapping rather than adding a 'black box'. Superchips/Bluefin and Alive Tuning seem to be the most commonly used by subscribers.

Besides that link being for a Freelander 1, they are crap. It only over fuels by fooling the ecu, a proper remap as mentioned above is the better option.

+ 1 for Superchips etc
-1 for that tat on ebay 

Don't waste your time with a chip.. rather get a remap and yes, it is well worth it!

The picture in the ad says it all....much speed sounds like a Jeremy Clarkson cliche.
Engine maps are the way to go, they give you, generally, better mpg, modified torque for towing, off roading or just a smoother drive, the mapper can discuss your needs if you so wish.
As for much speed, it's a two tonne 4x4, you may get better acceleration but if you desire much speed buy a sports car

I have used the "Bluefin" remap and the "Tunit" box, never had any problems with them both. No difference noticed between them. If you go for an add in box, don't buy crap, do your research first.

I hear Alive Tuning give generous discounts to forum users! Worth a call perhaps?

Kind regards,

Gary.

Not in the 'sponsors gallery' Gary?

I don't think I've run a banner advert on this site for quite a few years tbh, but still contribute a sizeable sum each month to Martin, for sponsorship of most of his forums, and have done for several years.

<<< Site Sponsor <<<

We are really busy and tbh don't need to be blatantly 'touting for business' as it were, but it's probably worth reminding you chaps we're here and always happy to look after you. Just don't forget to mention Freel2.com if you call!

Kind regards,

Gary.

Hi Garry

I'm interested I have a manual MY14 TD4! I have two questions ;

The cars still in warranty will there by any trace of this remap by the delalers?

When the dealers have the car for a service and plug it in is this remap overidden? MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

I can see from the info box that you are....but I'd never seen a post from you to be aware of that until this evening. If you'd been in the sponsors gallery I'd already have been aware ;-)

Gary did my fl2 last year and as usual I had great service and I now have a car that is 100% better.He also did my old D2 and a friends fl1 yesterday at the donnington show which he is very happy with,I can't recommend Gary and his company highly enough.

Hi Paul, when you '100% better', what do you mean? What has improved and by how much? Thanks.

The way it drives is just better when I accelerate its instant with no lag and doesn't kick down anywhere as much as it use to.Towing my caravan is also much improved especially on the hills as it stays in a higher gear now much longer hardly ever kicking down.
