Land Rover Td5 chip

[mendiplogs]

I have had 200 and TD5 and driven a 300 for a while. I prefer the TD5 although the 200 was the most reliable.

 

Be aware that both my 200 and TD5 required replacement fuel injectors at 180,000 miles. Might be worth thinking about finding a set for your TD5 from a write off etc,( new ones are 250/300 each.) and having them fitted at the same time as the remap.

 

Be aware though that this remap may well invalidate your insurance unless you make your insurer aware of it.

How would your insurer ever be aware of it, especially on a second-hand vehicle?

 

 

Plug a computer system into the engine management ECU, that will show the settings and who set them up. Each machine leaves a fingerprint in the ECU of the last person to access it.

 

Dont forget its the loss adjusters job to get the insurance company off the hook payment wise in the event of a claim, they are well aware of such things. Some of these tuning devices are external so fairly easy to spot, others are simply the existing ECU being re mapped.

As long as you have it in writing then you are covered, I also found NFU helpful in another situation recently.
