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 something a bit more substantial will be better. Plus I already have a Mafamp on it.

It is a last ditch attempt to justify keeping the old hippo. For some daft reason I still think she is great. (even though the dog bowl at the back now never seems to get empty of water) I reckon a 10% increase in miles per gallon will mean I can cover a 400 pound cost of remapping in 12 months (at 1.30/gallon) any better than that and it’s happy days any worse and it could be the one way trip to the flaming fields of burndom.

So what do you all think?

I've had the Roverron box for a while now and personnally find it has advantages over a remap. The box itself is dead easy to fit and can be transferred to another vehicle if required. Mine has given up a good 5 to 8 mpg gain (on a manual TD4) when set on a sensible number (6) and doesn't run the risk of being overwritten by a garage when being serviced.
All in all - it's the synergy for me every time.... especially given the comparative costs too.

An odd dose of Millers Diesel Power 4 additive also helps with the mpg issue,
