This might interest a few.

I enquired about a power upgrade today via my local LR dealer. (Leicestershire)
Turns out they use an independant chap approved by them & it won't affect the warranty.
It's a simple procedure using a laptop. No cut wires, no changing of ECU or chips, no bolt-on boxes - just a simple software upgrade.

Power increase is 30-35bhp, torque increase of 80lbft & up to 10% better fuel ecconomy depending on how it is driven.
Price is £450 plus the VAT.

Have just got off the phone to the guy - (very pleasant chap) now having it done in January.

And that goes completely against a memo sent out to dealers last year by LR telling them to stop doing remaps as it invalidates the warranty

I'm sure if you check this remap out with LRCS they put you straight  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

...........do you reckon Mark himself is actually the "independant / very pleasant chap" ...............

No I don't think it's the same person

but Unless he becomes a sponsor no offers of providing his number please

10forcash can do torquetune remaps on cars and he pays to do so by sponsoring the site  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Sorry, I had no idea it it was 'against the rules'.

No problem Mark

it dies seem expensive though.... And I concerned over there approved claim

Is it just a remap or is it a removable remap, like the ones Disco3 sponsor offers which can be removed when going to the dealers if you wished ?

Was told it was permanent. Sort of.
He said there might be the odd occasion where it reverts back to factory standard if the dealer has to do some sort of upgrade within the system for whatever reason, but he'd put it back on free-of-charge - which is fair enough.

To be honest, I've had more than my fair share of remaped cars in the past - all without any problems whatsoever, so I've every bit of confidence in the way the whole process works.

good idea on getting a LR sales rep to give you written confirmation as he might be meaning at that dealership only

On the cost, it just from looking at some of the other threads, i recall one been removable and less than £400 inc VAT Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The price won't be far off that being as I'm paying cash.

CASH you say, I will do you remap for £150 It will be seamless, you wont know anythings changed  At work

Eh? Sorry, but you're way off the mark. (no pun intended)
It was simply an innocent, friendly post relaying what I though might be some useful info to some on here.

hey Mark,

I know you are just posting some info for anyone who is interested in tuning, to look at

I'm just messing about with some silly humour / comments

Good weekend, jimmy

I thought it was the going rate, myself.
The salesman definitely said it wouldn't affect the warranty. To be honest, I'll get it in writing from him before I have it done for obvious reasons.

Get it in writing from LANDROVER UK, not a dealer-as LANDROVER DO NOT allow any deviation from original factory specification and this WILL void your warranty even if it's a claim for something totaly unrelated.

I was told by a super-chip franchise that they do MAPS for the very same dealer who grassed me up.

ps. Don't don't mention on here if you have it done and you or your vehicle can be identified from your
postings-I.E. Your area, dealer you use, name, nickname, pictures in gallery, list of your previous recalls etc. they trawl this site and DO NOT need evidence apart from your own Admittance.

TRUST ME ON THIS ONE

pps I definatley do not have a remap on MY car and never have/will have.

Not quite accurate... It's true that LR will not endorse or allow dealers to remap vehicles, however, doing so DOES NOT void the warranty, if a dealer KNOWS (as in can prove) that a vehicle has been remapped, that vehicle is placed on the restricted warranty register, this means that LR have to approve any warranty claims for any part of the drivetrain. All other warranty claims are unaffected, dependent upon the issue, LR cannot refuse to carry out a warranty repair purely due to it having an engine remap
