Can you please give specific destinations that the group chip might be done. For some, if the deal was 15% for example, the cost of fuel could cost the difference between the 10% they can already get and that 15%.

Thanks

LR cannot find the upgrade and as we've just signed a deal to upgrade 900+ Landrovers a year with the biggest dealer group...I'm sure we can direct you to a 'friendly' dealer if you have any concerns Wink

Tiger I don't know if this helps but my dealership had a RR in with turbo problemswhich has resulted in a huge bill, the car had a powerbox installed, which hadn't been removed! The owner has been asked to remove it to see if this cures the fault, if it does then the warranty is void, if it does the warranty will cover it.

I have never been "brave" enough which is a shame as I've seen the results, but nothing you do to your car will automatically void your warranty, unless it can be proved to have caused the problem. The visibility or not of the tune is really irrelavent if you feel the modification has not been detrimental to the car. All things can be found if the right person is looking. It would appear from what I have seen that the product as far as a numpty like me can tell to be a good one, I have heard of others causing problems. None of the owners that I know to have had their cars done have had any issues at all except an even bigger grin!

I fitted a 'powerbox' to my old Freelander TD4 and it caused a lot of problems with excessive Exhaust Gas Temperature which caused sensors to fail etc. I was told that the cheap plug in boxes simply overfuel the car giving a little increase in power but with dire long term effects. The full tune that Turbochip and the like offer dont overfuel, they re-map which is totally different and won't cause these kinds of problems as far as i am aware.

Exactly my point, but even this type of "tuning" will not necessarily invalidate a warranty unless it is the proven cause. TC's product is nothing like that modification so should be even safer.

Si

We use the latest WDS discs to create our tuning maps. So in effect you get the latest LR software + patches + Turbochip Wink
