Recommendation for an ECU remap on a 2.2?
I've decided to take the plunge and get my 2.2 re-mapped. A stage 1 tune (circa 170bhp / 450Nm) is what I'm looking for.

Given that my Defender is still within warranty I'd like the option of reinstalling the standard tune - I'm assuming this can be done and there's no need to have both a standard and re-mapped ECU?

Thank you.

Give Pete a call at Bell Auto Services and he will sort you out ...
Had my 2.4 done a few years ago and have never looked back !!
you can pop it on and off as you need - but have never had to remove it since mine is well out of warranty..

Hi m33ufo
I have just had my 2015 90 remapped by CSK Automitive and the results really were outstanding, I would thoroughly recommend them.
I also had a brilliant Dynatrol underseal job as wheel carrier done ant the same time. Cannot speak highly enough about the company, whereas the main dealer is coming out to meet me on the forecourt with a preformed list of reasons why he cannot help , or why the warranty doesn't apply because I was 15 minutes late with a paint check up.
My wife drives 90 quite frequently, and she is more than impressed, ( not easy to do)
In addition , my insurance company seem happy with the work done and did no impose any loading, but do tell yours it is very important.
Anything I can help with, please ask

Mine is still under warranty but have been thinking of a re-map once its out of warranty, I have seen that one or two people did not seem to like their re-map. Are there any downsides?

Is it just BAS that offers the remote tune option? That would be my preferred solution rather than having to swap ECU's if I want to go back to standard.

The difference to mine was like chalk and cheese. The gears became more usable and they must have drained out the"Kangaroo" petrol and replaced it as the bunco ride at the roundabout has gone. The acceleration is much smoother and the power is more even. Now a different vehicle, just shows up how bad the original was. Do not get me wrong ,it is no sports cars , but I sold one of those to buy one of these!

I found it difficult choosing between BAS and Alive, both get good reviews. In the end went BAS thinking if it's good enough for Land Rover, Bowler and Twisted it's good enough for me. Total transformation, thoroughly recommend. Thumbs Up James
