If it has had a cheap remap where they just remove the torque limiters then problems are likely

The factory map had torque limiters in 1st thru 3rd to protect the clutch and gearbox. Removing these, or raising them to far, will allow huge extras stresses on the box. Personaly I would not move them at all, and concentrate on mid range power in the higher gears.

It's the torque that does the damage, not the number of horses

So looking at your 2.2 tuning on your website what went wrong there then ? Where is the smooth curve ?

Something not right if you ask me ?

So you think the person that done my tuning isn't up to it ? And hasn't thought about it enough

Are you the chap off the Land Rover forum that was having a "dig" at a tuner and then erased all your posts ?
