Hello everyone i have a 2.5 dhse year 2000 p38 range rover with only 64000 miles on the clock and am needing some advise about tune chipping as i need to increase the torque from lower revs as i pull a 1.5 ton caravan. So do i go for a power box or a ecu out and new chip put ?
any help would be very welcome.
thanks

welcome to the forum

all depends on how much you want to spend really - cheapest option would be a power box

Thanks for the reply i can go up to £350.00 which evolution chips have quoted me but i need to have the ecu taken out and sent to evolution by currier to blackpool and this means that the battery on the car would have to be disconected this would then affect my electric windows and a reprogram of the central locking and have the motor of the road for a few days.
I am inclined to go for a plug and drive power box but there are a few on the market and all saying theirs is the best so do you now of anyone with a range rover who has had a tuning job done and if so what improvement to the bhp and torque did this make.
Many thanks

Have a word with JFAutomotive this member has a remapping company and is in Bromsgrove so not too far from you.
