Yeah, I had a 2008 9-3 Aero Convertible for a while. Unfortunately had to sell it when moving houses, cuts deep every time I see it on the road. :(

I'm quite happy with my car as is, but, sometimes just a tad more grunt would be nice. At present, I get around the 530K's to a tank of fuel, which I don't believe is that good anyway, but I have the roof rack/tent on etc, and I have a relatively heavy foot ;) so I expect a loss.

Don't take what I say as gospel. Ignoring what you say about the de-cat because I haven't touched exhaust. But my understanding is that when you put your car in for a service you return the car back to factory tuning. Two reasons. A) The warrant issues you spoke of. B) I believe (Someone feel free to correct me) that if they plug your computer into a diagnostics machine while its currently remapped it can pretty much lock and kill and ecu. It only takes ten minutes to re-map it, so its no big drams.

You other questions are probably best answered by my own mini write up. I have an 07 110, No roof rack. Just bullbar and winch. I get 650k out of a tank. Although Im not even 30 yet, I do drive like a grand dad (at the speed limit but). In saying that, I found that in my TD5 and Puma, it didn't really matter how I drove, it returned that same fuel economy.

As for power/fuel economy. The power is great, but its smooth. It just feels like that's how its meant to be. It feels proper without been over the top. I de-tuned mine today because its going in for a service/suspension works tomorrow and it reminded me how much drive ability it gave me with BAS. Keep in mind that when I first got the Puma I was blown away with its power. The BAS re-map was I think, and equal step up in performance.

Keep in mind he also does custom tunes if your Defender has a fair few mods etc.

Fuel economy has remained the same.

Thanks Aaron,
Wasn't sure about the warranty stuff, but had a feeling that was the way to go.
I was quite surprised at how much I lost when the roof rack went on :(, then I lost even more by running my old 31's (muddies) :eek:
I can get it back up a bit by slowing down, being smoother etc, but its hard trying to keep up with general traffic. I just hate stop/start, but that's city life :(

agreed, I still have a bit over 12months of warranty left, so hopefully there will be a nice map available then.

I updated my BAS remap to the new version today, and it was worth the money, the car is smoother and feels better, I think it is a definite improvement and worth the UKP50. Thanks Drover for let us all know about the new map.

Anyone getting surging post upgrade? I'm getting some on a very light throttle load, particularly when the engine is still warming up.

Not sure it's the upgrade, but I never used to have any. Not logging any faults - I'll check the fuel/air filter tomorrow.
