Personally I wouldn't bother on a car in warranty......buy a second car for a bit of zip, the RRS is a cruiser |

Warranty problems abound! Basically if the dealer reports you have a remap to LR then you don't have any warranty. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hmm. Thats definitely Food for thought. I think if i am in way of voiding my warranty and knowing my past luck with RR I will not be putting myself in the firing line.

That is overdramatizing it somewhat Tim. They would have to prove that the claim is related to the modification, so if the turbo blows then yes they would refuse to pay out but if the sat nav stopped working you would have a valid claim. Also it is very hard for a dealer to detect a remap so it's unlikely they would pick this up in the first place and also it's not in the dealers interest to report it to LR, they wouldn't be paid for any warranty claims! A friend of mine is group warranty manager for a chain of garages including Mercedes and Porsche and he said they would never report it to the manufacturer. Warranty claims is big business for them earning them lots of money and they also wouldn't want to upset the customer. Lots of people have had their TDV6 2.7 remapped without any problems with the warranty.

The terms of business and the law on vehicle warranties are quite clear.

Well if you use something like BAS, you can reset the tune back to standard in about 2 minutes, before you take your car for service or warranty work.
