Just upgraded my Disco4 with DMS Automotive
Following great reviews from two friends who'd had their Disco4s tuned by DMS I too had my 2012 model fettled this morning. The result is staggering with mpg hitting over 32mpg vs 28mpg and a very different and smoother driving experience. BHP and torque feel markedly improved and acceleration in gear or from the lights is in a different league.
Strongly recommended.

I believe they quoted £795+VAT but given that my two friends had recommended it, I paid considerably less.
Perhaps a forum deal???

+1 Frenchy - that does sound expensive. I believe Pete Bell @ BAS has done something similar for considerably less with the D4 My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

DMS products and upgrading are to be fair generally aimed at those with large amounts of disposable. They have a very well regarded name in the high end tuning and styling world particularly the supercar sector 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Well, if they aim for the Supercar sector, I'll see if they'll quote me for the 300tdi defender 2000 D2 TD5 - big red tractor (2004-2007)

Thanks Jeremy
Are there any quoted/actual stats on changes in BHP/Torque and performance?
Cheers

I contacted them earlier this year. Their upgrade for the new SDV6 takes power from 253bhp up to 305bhp, with the torque increasing from 442lb.ft up to 546lb.ft.
I decided not to go with it for now. Most of my miles are on the motorway, so not sure I would see the full benefit, although I think they also claim an improvement in fuel economy too. So maybe.....

Wow that's quite a jump. Had a quick shufty on their site and see they do one for Maserati so I might try and get a deal for two!

Suggest you try a site sponsor for a remap, headline figures on a site are all well and good but as DG says, this supplier are the expensive end of the market AND you can find many, many happy customers of the site sponsors on here.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Headline figures are just pub ammo.
Try and find one that gives an accurate dyno plot. A lot of info can be gathered from a dyno graph
