Afternoon all,

Has anyone had their TDV8 remapped by Alive Tuning - and if so what results did you get? Is it worth £400 notes??

CB 2007 RR Vogue SE TDV8
2003 RR Vogue TD6

I would also be interested to know.

I had bluefin on my tdv6, might try something different on the tdv8????

Indeed, my local specialist swears by Alive but can't guarantee specific results - I'm keen to hear from those that have done it! 2007 RR Vogue SE TDV8

Gary at TD5 Alive did my Disco back in 2007. Did a cracking job.

A bit OT, but I have used Bell Auto Services BAS BOX on consecutive Range Rovers as it offer many advantages (return to OEM specs in seconds, fault reader, etc).  l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

I think Gary and Pete were pretty much the founders of tuning Land Rover diesels via a proper remap. Both their companys have been going for a considerable time.

Heard nothing but good things about Pete Bell, but only have first hand experience of Gary at Alive Tuning. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Was toying who to use for the tdv8. Pete, Andrew, also sent Gary, or JE Eng.....

BAS's remap on the TDV8 is fantastic! l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Countryboy - I assume you've been in talks with Rovertune in Reading?

I have owned a TDV8 RRS myself since March 2009, and have of course spent a very long time in researching into how the engine operates, and how to get the best results.

We have our own 4x4 rolling road, so can prove the gains we make. This is all well and good, but a dyno sheet won't show you how much brighter the throttle response is with our tuning, as well as how the gearbox responds to the increased engine torque. It's all good of course, as I wouldn't have it any other way.

Please contact Rovertune directly to arrange a free of charge 'Try before you buy' demonstration on your own car. You will like it though!!

Kind Regards,
