Hi Nigel,
This struck me being wierd for some reason.....the upgrade is a good price but only boosts the power by around 26bhp.....as far as I know, most TDV& remaps raise it by about 40+ bhp. The torque output seems a decent enough gain though.
Also how come they charge 45 EUR for shipping? That seems awfully cheap to post your D3 back to you once they've plugged their laptop into it to do the upgrade 
I don't know why, but this really sounds like a fuel rail mod or something similar. Anyone with similar thoughts? 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Hi Nigel
they don't really offer a guarantee. If you want one you have to pay extra. Insurance is the for 12 Month an they pay only then maxium of Fr, 10000 if your motor doesn't survive it. But you still have to pay at least 10% yourself. Seems like hands of. I know two official Landrover Dealers in the german part and they offerer during the normal LR guarantee full guarantee. They let reprogramm the engine management module. It cost although more. One is in Zug. There is only one Dealer. The other I can find out if you really gonna need it. They both cost about the same Fr. 2000
