Thanks, ECU remapping quote
Not a bad premium hike for declaring an ECU remap imho, 32 quid for the BAS 170 AB tune, thanks guys. 3 Landrovers

I told my insurer the remap (BAS150) was 'primarily for efficiency' (which it is) - but as a result of the remap that 'the bhp would certainly be increased'.

This was a no no, in that they wouldn't even consider insuring the vehicle - that is, until further discussion where it was noticed that it was a diesel and apparently that's quite OK then Neutral Rolling Eyes.

I have no idea why a diesel makes any difference in this regard, but I'll take it!

$0 difference in premium.

I got the rep on the phone to write me an email that outlined the outcome of the discussion in no uncertain terms.

Hiya, I'm out in Congo right now so hadn't seen the posts ECH,

Yeah sounds about right, don't recall now, I sent the email asking for a quote and posted the info from Pete Bells site for the remap, they came back with an adjustment.

Personally I don't really think their 'risk' has changed but for the sake of full disclosure and less than 10p a day I'm comfortable enough with the cost.
