£5.15!? Thats well below minimum wage!!

26 mpg is what it was doing before the 1.2 was fitted, now its around 29-31 mpg. No idea what it did before the remap, as it was one of the first jobs I did just after buying it.

A tank now gives me 450 miles range, easy

That's alright then.

It's minimum wage for 18-20 year olds. And I've just got back from my long trip and the fuel guage hasn't gone down that far.

Ahh true! Well good on your for driving an awesome car at a young age! Mind you im not much older at 24.

Theres a great app on Android just called Fuel Economy which I use, seems to be pretty accurate, as long as my trip computer is...

Thanks, it's defenetly a cool second car. And your correct yout not that much older, at least my new job is more money per hour and more hours, whilst not being so physical.

And I'm nearly 21 anyway.

Haha, no I'm mean it's the second car I've had as I'm rebuilding my classic mini at the moment.

People do not like getting over taken by a defender just after leaving a 30mph speed limit!

bankz5152 · Jul 16, 2015

Not at all! Haha

Also if you fancy some more power have a read of these -

TD5 Tuning from TD5Inside - Land Rover Zone

That doesn't look too bad a price for that, I'll have a deeper read later.

Bear in mind you must have the larger intercooler fitted!

Im strongly considering it, hard to say no to 230bhp and 512mn...

That said I would fit an EGT gauge and something else to keep an eye

MrNasty · Jul 16, 2015

You will need stronger head bolts also, for 230 BHP.

bankz5152 · Jul 16, 2015

One of the questions I have asked td5inside. From what i have gathered they are running standard with no ill effects.

Yeah I saw you needed a bigger intercooler and it would be hard to say no to that.

MrNasty · Jul 17, 2015

Speak to Mike at Dynachip about the head bolts

bankz5152 · Jul 17, 2015

Good plan!

Edit -

£960

BronkoMini · Jul 17, 2015

Haha, you could buy another defender for that!
