    I would guess, and its only a guess, that remapping could catch you out. If they really wanted to nail you. But Defenders dont really have a reputation for spinning out of control.

    I imagine the rule is to catch the boy racers out.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    BAS can shut down the terrible EGR to which is a bonus. I'd get rid of the CAT and big center muffler to. I've done it to mine and it's no louder but the turbo spools up way quicker and it's getting better fuel consumption.

    I've got an EGR blank kit but as a result I have an engine warning light. No big deal but I'm working on a fix at the moment.

    I spoke to the guys at BAS they said they recommend a new intercooler. Not having it will stress your engine especially in our hot climate

    I'm no tuning guru, but I have made a few enquiries as to what's available in Aus. A major Melbourne LR specialist told me that the Aussie heat should be a major consideration with these things.
    The "Aus" is particularly important, as many of the tunes & remaps that are available, are designed for European conditions which are much cooler than ours, and a modified engine is going to develop more heat, particularly when it's working hard,....therefore a better intercooler would be a must,..IMHO.
    So, I would think, that a piggyback "generic" chip, said to generate significantly more power & torque, could be a disastrous recipe in some situations, in Aus.
