anyone thought about chipping their D4? 
Never done it myself, but you can get more performance and better fuel economy?

From any of the site sponsors!
Have you got the 3ltr or the 2.7ltr?
I got mine for a 2.7ltr from BAS http://www.bellautoservices.co.uk/
You can swap back to standard when you get your car serviced.
Does it affect warranty? maybe if they find out!

d4 3.0l not remappable yet - still on its way. only tuning box solutions available which are not recommended. There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song

I have mapped the new 3.0L TDV6 and im finalising some tests i have to do then it will be available for public to buy from me.
As said by dick dastardly, the only public soloution available at the moment is a tuning/plugin box which is not recommended unless its the only option ever available.
Regarding your warrnaty, ALL modifications to your can have the risk of a void warranty situation.

Pete,
Will we still be able to use our existing interface boxes with your new maps, or will they need to be upgraded too?
Cheers,

Sorry to wee on your fire but I got my 3.0 TDV6 done in Egham Surrey last week.
The car really 'flys' now
They are remappable but the ecu has to come out....job took 1 hour 30 mins.....and I paid 500 + vat
Not sure if I'm allowed to post the guys details publicly?
PM me for dets

If the ecu is remapped for more performance then has to go back to the dealers where they overwrite it to update or solve software problems, if once the Disco comes back and has the performance remap reloaded, I can see how that works.
However the remap box will have two mapping programs on it, the performance one and the old one before updates. In fact the performance remap must have the same old software problems as well.
Hope you can follow this long winded question, I just about can and I typed it.
Geo.

Have been given details of a company remapping D4's in Somerset - my friend reckons he's getting 35mpg now, but I'm such an old woman when it comes to worrying about the warranty implications I doubt I'll do it. (in fact, I still wont have my 2004 Ranger done either 'just in case'). May the road rise with you.
May the wind always blow at your back.
And the sun always shine on your face.
May God always hold you in the palm of his hand.

Hi Pete
Any chance of the D4 remap in the next 2 weeks as I am off to Europe then for 8 weeks.
Would be nice to get it done so I can test it with the tintent on the back. 
Its the MSV2 files I need.
Keep up the good work  Faultmate MSV-2
