Buy a nanocom and then buy a map from gary at td5 alive and you can do it yourself.

He actually does loads of different diesels - just specialises in TD5s. He also does boat engines if you're interested ! Take a look at the dynachip website.

Gone ahead and booked Dynachip as I have not read any negative feedback, so far!
Will be done next Thursday, which will be followed by a trip to Wales to collect my lad from Swansea - looking forward to improved performance.

I had a sad experience; the ECU on my 51 plate Discovery Tdi was not the sort they could re-map. So they purchased a new ECU. But what we didn't spot was that the oil from the injector harness had filled the red connector and when the new ECU was fitted, it shorted straight out! I had to pay for a tow to a dealer, then diagnostic to confirm the problem, then another ECU and that new ECU had to be coded to the vehicle before we could attempt the re-map. If you have to change your ECU, check for oil in the connectors, please!

If your ECU is the old type, you could always send it to TD5Alive and the can replace a chip in it that will allow you to have it remapped, that's what he did for my 2001 Disco.

Or buy my td5 disco that allready been and has been de-egr'd!!! Makes a massive difference, though absolutely no top end, just loads of instant low down grunt. You hardly need to touch the accelerator peddle now!

I have just had mine disco td5 manual mapped by dynachip on wednesday morning.
I wanted to run it a few days before i talked about it.
Well the service i recieved from mike was first class turned up on time checked the health of my landy including to see if the was oil in injector loom which there wasnt
and the dreaded air flow meter and mine was all spot on so he cracked on and read my ecu and then swapped it for the later one's that can be flashed.
I must say i really wish i had done this along time ago the car is just perfect now when iam solo it just pulls and pulls and and i am sure you could hit the ton mark quite easy now on a private road
In the afternoon i went and got my caravan out of storage and well didnt really notice it on the back.
It will quite happily tow at 40mph in 5 gear pulling 1800kg behind it and hills are now very easily dispatched iam now a gear higher than i would normally be in for said hills
So for anyone thinking of getting theres done just do it you wont regret it but just make sure its by someone who knows what there are doing!
