    I sell Tombie2's chips down here,( and some BD ones for early non flash ECU's also) and agree that manifold issues are just as common unchipped, so no worries in that department. I have 1 that I have upgraded to 10mm studs etc, but it gets pushed HARD.
    The last 2 chips I have flashed, (140KW Tombie maps) have transformed the vehicles to a point that the owners have fallen in love with them all over again, and 1 was even considering selling it before, but not now.

    My opinion is just do it, you won't believe that you waited that long. No or minimal increase in fuel consumption (AFTER the first few weeks when you've got over trying it out up every hill you see), Although all manual ones I have done have increased economy as a result of using a higher gear, and a huge improvement in all round driveability.


    (I may be selling these, yes, but I am very happy with customer feedback; Happy LR owners are a joy to behold)

    OK OK ... I'm almost sold . What about an EGT? Is it recommended for keeping an eye on things?

    Yes get an EGT guage, the EGTs do get higher with a chip upgrade and bigger intercooler if funds allow, it will give a bit more power and will lower the EGTs.

    Shortly after having my 2000 Disco chipped I started having problems with the engine computer not talking to the auto transmission computer. So much so that I sold it and bought a 1998 DefenderTDI. No problems since.

    Let me guess, BD chip?

    I've heard of a few having issues like that, hence why I started looking at doing things myself...
