ozzie1989 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I tried a Discovery one in my Defender before... It worked (as in the vehicle started and was driveable) but smoked a lot, didn't seem very responsive (could have been due to the mapping on the ECU) and also the temperature gauge worked backwards (although sometimes appeared to work ok but shot up into the RED for no apparent reason and back). I did code the injectors with my Nanocom before starting her up, and synced up the Alarm Unit etc. As I say it worked fine, maybe ok for emergencies but not so great for every day. I wanted it to experiment with mapping etc. but decided it wasn't worth the risk if it didn't work properly in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
