as it is still a shed shaped car. I did 95mph at the weekend - frightened the bejesus out of me, but that said 95 in a shed aints bad at all.

Like the terminology! 'Flying breeze block' was my referral! 95mph certainly does make the grip tighten and the colon twitch a little!  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Hi Robo,

Got mine to 97 downhill (with the old tune) with a fair wind behind but in no way could I relinquish my vice-like grip on the steering wheel, the steely-eyed focus about 200metres in front on the path before me, the clenching of my ar5e cheeks or calm the pounding of my heart in my ears, or my conscience saying any minute your pistons are going to be coming through your bonnet "What the friggin' hell do you think you are doing?" Think I may well have had a bead or two of sweat on my brow too! All in a controlled situation with paramedics, fire brigade in attendance and surrounded in flowpack in the event of impact and the lack of safety airbags in the Defender. A mate was there with a paperbag in the event of hyperventilation afterwards too!

Never again!!!

Have heard of individual(s) breaking the ton barrier but unconfirmed.

... Hmmnn the ton barrier not sure we have enough legal runway around here ! maybe one day i mite have another go but as i,m due to drive to italy in a few wks i don,t want to be tempting LR666.  2008 110 County utility

So is anyone going to tell me what a BAS retuned PUMA puts out. I assume a standard one is approx. 125PS and 277lb/ft.

I'd hate my Defender to have even worse fuel consumption than it has already! Saying that, when towing mine runs out of steam on hills and I see my economy (displayed on my Scangauge II) hit the floor, more power might yeld better economy in this situation...

This is my first post and have been following for a while, Pete fitted a tune to my puma at shepton mallet LR show and it's bl**dy fantastic, limiter is removed and towing is amazing

also had a V V Turbo for the TD5 from him great service top bloke

Now then I need to confirm - are you related to Pete, have you ever been related to Pete, would you like to be related or have relations with Pete ?

Apparently we need to confirm these details before we can big anyone up - and for gods sake do NOT mention the war.

i Ordered BAS remap it this monday, and i Received it Thursday
really easy to install, but beware, this does not work with windows 7
Pete is very available for any question

So it won't work with my Mac then?  If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Add me to the 'satisfied customer' list.

Ordered the remap box on Wednesday afternoon, got it yesterday (Thursday), downloaded my standard map and sent to Pete yesterday, got it back by 11pm (with an apology for taking so long!).

Uploaded it to the 110 this morning (yes, I know I've only had the truck a week, bt it had done 4000 miles, so I don't feel so bad about remapping it so soon), and it's a great transformation!

Doesn't turn the Defender into a Ferrari (an extra 30BHP and a bit more torque won't do that!), but, what it does do is to somehow make eveything a lot smoother and free-er. Seems to rev much more freely, and the gear ratios seem to 'gel' more.

Only subjective thing so far, is that although the first run post-remap seemed a 'flyer', on the second and third runs the engine seems a bit coarser and slower (like pre-remao). Could it be me getting used to the remap, or the ECU adjusting itself?

Anyway, very happy, and it does work on Windows 7. All you need to do is to install the USB>serial drivers manually.

By the way, you can get even more up-to-date USB>serial drivers from FTDI (google it).

the defender is transcended, it seems much lighter.
I live in the mountains, and it's so good .....
the defender takes the RPM much faster as the speed.
it feels much power to reach 1900/2000 rpm and with greater force to 1500/1600 rpm.
I am very very happy with the remap, I was not expecting something especially effective.
now I must pay attention to the accelerator,

I am a happy owner of Defender

in 1 week i make 1200KM of travel with def, i said to you my feeling after
