Remap in South East.
Who should I use?
Should I also budget for: A. SS freer flowing exhaust? B: Intercooler upgrade.
Not sure I can afford all three.

Cheers.

Lots of choices....

However if it was me putting my hand in my pocket I'd be asking:

1. Has the company got the capability to do full diagnostic check before making any changes and the ability to fix faults? And I don't mean just looking at the fault codes with some generic hand held tool (things like injector compensation values are common faults that must be fixed!)

2. Has the company got the capability to look at the software/calibration that is currently on your Defender and make sure it is the latest standard Land Rover version. If it's not, can they update to the latest version?
Land Rover over the production period made lots of changes to the calibration - and you should always ensure you have the latest version.

3. Have they got any proof of what they are actually going to deliver? I would expect to see some proper development and testing - including rolling road testing with proof of what is going to be delivered. Not just some generic tune that has the driver demand (throttle pedal response) increased, but doesn't actually deliver any more power... yet they have picked a power and torque figure from out of the sky and rely on the placebo effect.

4. Once done, have they got the capability to complete a pump learn followed by a pilot correction learn? The set up of the Puma fuel system is critical to correct performance - anyone that says otherwise, or fobs you off is talking rubbish. And these should be redone after a calibration change!!

5. Once completed, do they do a proper road test to make sure everything is correct and ensure you are happy.


If the answer to any of the above is no, I'd be putting my money back in my pocket.


If you are going to do something, then you should do it properly.

You wouldn't want to have surgery done by someone that has a degree off the internet, and a tool box consisting of a broken screwdriver and blunt saw.

Tuning is complicated thing - and it's very easy to do it badly.... and done wrong it will destroy your engine.


Also, be careful what changes you want to do at a later date - and does the supplier offer any calibration/software updates to match new items (if brought from them)... changing components at a later date can have a huge affect on power delivery.

Alive has a tuning dealer in Grays, Just a couple of minutes off the M25.

They have full workshop facilities, with diagnostics, and many years of Land Rover experience.

Please drop us an email, or call us for details.

An alternative would be to use our ATRIC remapping system?

No, we no longer deal with the Man for Land Rovers. Exclamation

We have tuning agents both sides of London. One in Grays, and another in Reading.

Please get in touch for details, so I can personally oversee the process.

Many thanks, Gary.
