What’s everyone’s thoughts on remapping a 3.0 8 speed 2013 TDV6? My local Land Rover specialist doesn’t feel comfortable remapping it because he’s seen quite a few split inlet manifolds. But to turn off EGR you have to remap it don’t you? I’m not after a huge power increase, and not really much above SDV6 levels.

Remap to SDV6 ish levels, shut the EGRs [emoji41]
And what that smile spread!
Thanks Tombie. Is replacing the manifolds a job I can do in the driveway or is it a mechanic job?Quote:

So if anyone is looking for an excellent and well maintained TDV6 in around June 2020 keep us in mind it will be a steal

Add an OE alloy bar. For towing it has; 12 pin plus Anderson plug and REDARC TowPro V3 controller. Tinted windows all round and custom, removable, insulated window panels for rear cargo area and rubber mats. Currently at <1300km with a full and detailed service history by LRA. All fluids done plus LCA plus brakes all round. The car is the reason we will spend the extra coin and buy Defender rather than the rather lardy, slow, less than fun to drive LC200 which we can buy a lot cheaper than either a D5 or new Defender. It's been absolutely brilliant towing our Ultimate and AOR Q+ around the country and we will certainly miss it. Forgot to add, 5x19" rims and tyres, rear ladder and we are fitting a new OE windscreen shortly as the current one has been repaired 12 times so as far as I am concerned we are not leaving Adelaide without a new one. Can probably add a complete TPMS as well as I have a spare, industrial grade, one spare ATMQuote:
