I just took the step from D3 to FFRR 3,6 TdV8 Autobiography. I am happy with the engine, but would love to have a bit more torque.

How do you measure the extra stress?

cant comment on stress/turbos, but engine appears less under load and progress seems smoother, MPG is up by 2/3 MPG but as always depends on how you drive it.

I can confirm JE remap 80k miles from new on my last L322, absolutely no issues and 2/3 mpg extra, I cannot comment on other remaps, but I did look at everything available and went for JE due to their long standing relationship with Land Rover since the days of the Rover V8 and their joint development of the larger capacity variants.

I got a BluFin and it's fine, certainly helps with overtaking - I didn't notice any improvement in MPG I still get around 25/26 according to the on board computer thing.

I was going to go with JE Engineering, but only being open 9-5 Monday to Friday made it too difficult.

Is there in anyones opinion, a maximum mileage where a re map is probably best not done? Have had 2 Disco's re mapped at about 10-15k miles. Just thinking after an engine has done 75-80k is there too much wear to be putting a bit more va va voom through it. |

Try talking to Pete at BAS - he's a pretty straight guy and I'm sure he'll give you a reasonable view. |
