    To many KM's to remap td5??

    So I rang the Rover mechanic here in Canberra (Mitchell) and they said they don't recommend remapping td5 if it has done over 120,000kms??
    Is this what others think??
    And he wanted $1,340 to do it?
    I was hoping to get my td5 manual disco remapped.. But it has 250,000kms. It has a new turbo and head.
    What do ppl think?

    I'd be very interested to know what his reasoning is.

    Many D2s would have now exceeded that mileage (kilometerage?). One of my sons has a D2 Td5 that was upgraded recently with a much higher mileage and at less cost. I'd ask another LR specialist- maybe one of the Sydney outfits ?

    I did mine at 280, TRS chip,
    since had a new head but that was from corrosion inside

    I think you need to look for another mechanic. I had mine remapped at about 310 000 km. Bigger intercooler and stage 2 remap by Jose. Goes very well. And the price your mechanic is asking is ridiculous.

    MSB ECU requires physically re-soldering part of the board, hence why its called a 'chip'.
    NNN ECU can be remotely mapped via a nanocom.
    MSB is in the 99-mid 02 Td5 which is the 10p motor, NNN is in the later model Td5, the 15p motor. What year is your discovery?
    Your mechanic is feeding you a steaming load of **** and wants you to bend over for the privilege. Find a new one, read up on mapping a td5 and away you go.

    What a load of bollocks. Price is too high and advice is wrong. Mild remap shouldn't have any detrimental impact on engine at all.

    ditto

    I had mine chipped at 275k after the HG was done at 272K and she pulls like a bull in springtime

    ...and I've done the silly power thing too and she boosts to 22psi under load and no detrimental effects but then again i do drive conservatively or... maybe not always, like when i encounter a late model Land Cruiser either climbing through the Toolangi Forest or up and through the Merton Gap and i feel i gotta protect the honour of the marque

    Just done mine at 317k. Stage 2 Bruce Davis upgrade with big intercooler, boost thing to confuse ECU & center muffler changed to a free flow. Why I waited so long to do it I don't know. Fuel economy has improved slightly & the vehicle is so much more lively. I added EGT & Boost gauges to keep any eye on things.
