Hi

My first post, so a big hello to all. Really pleased I found this forum, and I'd like to say a big thanks for all the help it has given me in answering my numerous "newbie" questions!

I'm taking delivery of a 57 plate (08 MY) FFRR Vogue SE on Wednesday - I'm like a kid waiting for Xmas!

I am assuming that a car this age will have the Digital (Hybrid?) TV tuner fitted? Can somebody please confirm?

Having read through the many complimentary posts about the JE remap, I'm also seriously considering forking out the £395 to get this work done. I'm already 99% convinced, but if anybody could share their MPG improvements having gone down this route it will tip the scales that little bit further - and help me salve my conscience on the extra spend!

Cheers,

Andy

It should have the hybrid tuner

I would have gone the JE route except for them only being open 9-5 mon-fri and it was too much hassle to get there. It's £395 + VAT

I went with the BAS kit instead - Pete does a better price for forum members, but I can't remember how much, but he replies to email very quickly - http://bellautoservices.co.uk/bas-remap-interface/

you need to consider if you will get your £395+vat back in extra mileage..


welcome to the forum btw, loads of info in the wiki as well and of course dont forget the 'fullfat.com' sticker ... - .- -.

DMS is more expensive. They come to your home/work to do it. Great aftersales service.
Noticeable perf improvement, usua; av mpg up from 28 to 30, and can get 33 plus if I take it easy.

DMS quoted me somewhere in the region of £850 + VAT for a remap on my TDV8!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Thanks all

Am picking up my car tomorrow - yippee!

Will be booking the car into JE as soon as I can - will let you know my thoughts before and after.

i am running 330bhp and 750Nm on my 3.6 TDV8, but MPG was the last thing on my mind when i was thinking about tweeking the motor...  Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE



Past: TDV8(4.4) Vogue
Discovery 3 Commercial
TDV8(3.6) Vogue
TD6 Vogue
D2 V8 ES
D1 V8 ES
RR Vogue Classic

Had my 07 TDV8 3.6 mapped by JE a few months ago and economy improves a little but it's so much nicer to drive. I very rarely use full throttle now, half throttle is just a wave of torque and throws you down the road

Got the car yesterday - couldn't be happier!! Can't imagine what it must feel like after a remap - drives fantastically as it is.....

personally i would wait before you remap and enjoy it as standard....you never know , maybe the previous owner had it mapped..


dont forget the sticker and pictures in the 'my range rover' section.. ... - .- -.
