Hi All,
I'm thinking about having my TD5 remapped ( Autologic ). Has anybody else had this done - what do you think of the result ? Are there actually any fuel savings to be made - they say in the blurb that there are but I'm dubious. Any advice gratefully received.![]()
Get the Manifold bolts changed for right ones or they will stretch and brake, due to them geting hotter.

Great reasonI use the defender for my daily commute and get a little fed up with havingto allow other cars at least half a mile when pulling on to main roads. I also pull a caravan and according to all the write ups you hardly notice it on the back when ECU upgraded. Also want to give the Audi A3 owner, who gives me a pasting every morning at the m4 roundabout, the shock of his life ( main reason if truth be told! ).
I took the trouble to drive up to Grimsby to have Gary at TD5ALIVE do it while I watched. Equally you can do it via registered post - a lot easier.
Great results - you can now overtake and pull away with confidence and motorway driving and acceleration is much better.
it is now a pleasure to drive and it is so much smoother.
I had a race with a Bentley turbo.![]()
Once we got to 30mph it was all over.![]()
Seriously though my TD5 will do a genuine 100mph (sat nav confirmed) but its still a Defender so not recommended.
It is lively enough to show the boy racers in their poxy Corsas a clean pair of heels up to the legal limit. Catches quite a few out.![]()
I find that if you leave the defender in 2nd gear at traffic lights and then give it some serious welly from a standing start, there is not a lot that can live with it ! But when you reach 30-35mph - game over.
