I don't think the chip is directly related to the clunk but it might be to the smoke. More power = more fuel. Too much fuel and it starts to smoke, that's one reason why the original mapping is how it is - to stop smoke and hit emissions.

If it still has the HP22 autobox that remap has to be done carefully to avoid wrecking it, I imagine. Personally I would be happier with an HP24 if chipped.

I have no idea how the autobox decides when to change but I think it also has a map based on what inputs? Revs from engine and road speed? But torque input is different when chipped, especially if someone has used a map from a BMW racer? Might cause issues?

So if old chip is in glove-box, refit so car is standard and when back to standard start fault finding from scratch.
 
Guys, I HAVE ONLY JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THE CAR. I have not touched the car and all the works were done back in 2017 by Turner Performance and paid for by the last owner. NOT ME.

I can only quote what the invoices say/state. I dont chip or re-map cars so have no idea about what the process is nor do i have any desire to know either. Its off to the Range Rover specialists hopefully tomorow who are highly recommended chaps who know what they are doing. Once the verdict is out i will decide from then on in what to do which will be one of 3 things. Have it fixed and pay the bill or scrap it and walk away or put it in my brothers field and let his chickens live in it once i have removed all the new bits i bought and fitted to it which i will sell on ebay.

6 months ago, (remember I live in France), I bought an ECU from Turners over the phone, I asked them to buy a cheap second hand one and give it a stage one tune. I did not want to be without my car. They did and sent it to me in France. Straight swop at the garage. Runs superb, and better than a little black box I had fitted in a previous P38. This was for my 1997 red 2.5DSE LHD. Good service no complaints. I'm thinking of doing the same for my other car the V8 4.6 HSE 1999. Green LHD. Hopefully Mark will get to see them as soon as normality returns. Gentle adjustment with a soft rubber mallet as a way of curing 'hotstart' issues is very appealing.
 
Adjustment to 1/1000 of a mil with dti. Hit and hope indeed, yet I have heard speak of it working.

Your engine ; your wmallet ; your choice :D

Synergy box black one probably was. Cheap version of powerbox. Utter crap.

You should see Marks stage2 rads ;)
 

How to adjust the FIP and fuel quantity with a few blows of a mallet.

What a bloody joke he is. The mid section had been removed and not replaced properly. Technically if the mid section is removed the pump should be recallibrated using a very expensive machine, can be done manually in situe but is a real ball ache and you have to know what you are doing. Him hitting the top actually moved the mid section.
