Hmmmm, sorely tempted. Might try to stop in on my way to/from Peterborough as its a bit far to go just for that. How long did it take to do? Mark S

Well, I'm sure you can appreciate it was far more than a case of simply plugging in and sticking a map on there.
After having a chat, a cuppa, test drive in standard form, checking she was in full health, then 3 or 4 runs tweaking the map another chat, a look round all the goodies, etc etc. I was out in a couple of hours. Gary really meant it when he said that when he quotes for the map, he'll be there for hours if that's what it takes for us to both be happy. It really is worth doing, totally transformed, best way I can describe it is she's now far more car like. Less lag, more grunt, much more relaxed cruising. 2003 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Belize Green - "Betty" 1958 Series IIA 109 Station Wagon - "Randolph" - Awaiting Restoration 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon - SOLD 2006 Volvo V70 D5 - Ocean Race Edition, SOLD 2003 VW Passat Estate 1.9TDI - SOLD 2008 BMW 320D M Sport Estate - SOLD 2001 Defender 90 Td5 Hard Top - SOLD |

Just so I can plan how long I'd need to stop if I was getting it done. Have you had much of an increase in insurance premium? Mark S

What upgrade did you get? stage 1?
Actually, does anyone know what "stage1" and "stage2" actually refer to? because every tuners "tune" will be different. Ok, stage 1 is usually 30~50bhp, but there doesn't seem to be any set values for it. anyway, glad you're happy with your new-found performance |

Stage 1 seems to apply to just a remap, stage 2 usually involves going a bit further and adding an updated intercooler too.
I'm not fussed about exact figures, Gary was explaining that every engine will be slightly different, and then the tune is also different for different vehicles so its impossible to give an exact figure. I'm very happy with it, however it's now highlighted that a set of discovery gears are probably in order. 2003 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Belize Green - "Betty" 1958 Series IIA 109 Station Wagon - "Randolph" - Awaiting Restoration 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon - SOLD 2006 Volvo V70 D5 - Ocean Race Edition, SOLD 2003 VW Passat Estate 1.9TDI - SOLD 2008 BMW 320D M Sport Estate - SOLD 2001 Defender 90 Td5 Hard Top - SOLD |

Yes, I got a "stage 1". Initially quite a mild well rounded map that we tweaked to give a little bit more in places, tested to ensure it remained smoke free. 2003 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Belize Green - "Betty"

stage 1 appears to be 30-50 extra gee-gees as you say, but also tends to be maximum without fitting an intercooler. stage 2 will yield another 20+ ponies, but requires an intercooler
Insurance roughly £20-50 depending on your provider. Adsey |

Can I be rude and ask how much your stage one re map cost, I'm considering the same, but have no real idea of the cost involved.
I do however like the sound of improved performance both at the top of the range but also at the lower torque end of the spectrum. Thanks Dave I built a garage for my Mini With a place for everything and everthing in its place. Ten years down the line there's a Mini in there somewhere, and  all's where it should be!!!! Ho hum |

Dave,I had my stage 1 done in Birnham Dunkeld last year,good job using autologic I think.he pointed out that the manifold had two sheared studs, which I dealt with using JE engineering kit. Cost of the remap was £ 315 I think.This did not include the egr removal,which I did this year

As previously mentioned before, thats not a plug in laptop jobby, thats Gary will go out on the road for a couple of hours if needed tuning it to what you/he feels is best. 2003 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Belize Green - "Betty" 1958 Series IIA 109 Station Wagon - "Randolph" - Awaiting Restoration 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon - SOLD 2006 Volvo V70 D5 - Ocean Race Edition, SOLD 2003 VW Passat Estate 1.9TDI - SOLD 2008 BMW 320D M Sport Estate - SOLD 2001 Defender 90 Td5 Hard Top - SOLD |

"More than simply a case of plugging in".....Absolutely the most important aspect, & the reason why you have such a good result. I've got no time at all for those generic "chips"....because every engine IS different, & invariably it is the skilful & careful tuner himself that will get the best out of any remap. At this stage, I don't know anyone in Melbourne who knows Landrovers well enough to do this. Glad you got a good job. Cheers, Pickles. |
