Well. That's that. With the cost of fuel going high above anything and tax galore someone told me that a remap may be a good idea. So does anyone know about it? I have a TD4 auto box that does about 25mpg. on a 53 plate (no warrantee) I know roverron has a magic box but I think that...

I ran my old DI on about a 50% mix of oil in the sumer and droped down to 20 in the winter and had no bother at all the TD4 however I am at 10% and daren't go much higher untill i get an all clear (i still owe money on it) as it says not to use biodiesel in the book. BUT where can you get...

I dont know if yours is different to mine but it should be just 4 allan screws in the 4 holes .. undo these and it should just slide out

It just seems strange that my old DI manual got 33 to the gallon but this td4 that everyone says should be great does only 25-27. Even with the auto box I would expect around 30 when I get chance (maybe this weekend) i'll pull off the MAFAM and see what it goes like and fuels like ed
