Hi, I have a 2011 defender which is serviced by an independent land rover specialist. They have recommended a re-tune to lose the flat spot, improve the overall performance and overall mpg. I have been quoted £500 and told it will take about an hour. Has anyone done this and what have been the benefits. Cheers Duggie

He gets good reviews on the transit forum, might be worth a call you having a transit engine

Just had mine done by Alive.
They took a long time mapping it out, de-limiting it and nulifying the EGR.
It runs smoother and with a bit more oomph through the range. MPG is no better, possibly slightly worse. Was it worth the money? possibly not, but I cant imagine anyone else doing a more thorough job.

Im always tempted to map a Car yet never bother in the end. To be honest I hadn't considered mapping a defender. I pick her up on weekend so ill give her a good drive before I decide Esther I should or not. I was rather unimpressed by the 120 BHP yet chuffed by the almost 400nm torque. I think if I got any kind of map ot would be a dual map. Motorway and full power foe them tricky hills . Although from reading these threads seems to U justify any kind of map ...

Had my puma remapped by BAS up at billing show as I'd put a de-cat side exit system on her and providing I don't get lead foot fuel is fine and no flat spots!
