Had a remap done 18 months ago and it’s been brilliant, better acceleration especially in 3rd to 5th and the MPG has improved as I don’t have to push the pedal on hills 👍🏻

The dealer where you took your MH for warranty work can easily tell whether the engine has been re-mapped by simply plugging into the OBD port and interrogating the ECU.

Haha. It’s me, your new co-presenter! That was a long question …. Sorry. Just an update to say that our dealer and Autotrail got involved and expedited the part and made sure it was fixed properly. So far all seems well.

Would have appreciated if you had discussed the down sides of mapping - where potential mechanical issues following a remap are concerned. The discussion seems to imply that there were none - by not mentioning any, insurance aside.

As a seller of fiat Ducato parts there is a big difference in spares on larger HP engines ie larger turbochargers,intercoolers ,clutches and thickness of driveshafts etc.

I've got a 95 Hymer B584 with a fiat ducato 2.5td engine. Standard it's 116bhp which is a bit low when carrying my life around. To rectify the sluggishness, I adjusted my turbo actuator for 1bar boost & tweaked my diesel pump. I'd guess it's around 150-160bhp now it drives great. It pulls like a train, even up hills

The down side of remapping many Fiat/Relay/Boxer based vans, is that the increased torque will be above the safe design torque limit of the gearbox clutch.

Had my bailey alliance done by pendelton performance tuning absolute spot on

All, as far as I know, increase power by more than 10%.

The real elephant in the room that no one is discussing is the growing number of dealerships entering administration, within this genre of the leisure industry. Dealerships can’t move stock from 2023, let alone 2024. The 2025 range is only around the corner, that Dealerships are obligated to buy. Dealerships, even with reductions in price are not shifting their 2023/2024 stock, which leads to cash flow issues. This leads to Dealerships entering administration. Administration means stock legally has to go back to Manufacture of origin. Manufacturers are already too far down the material ordering process line to properly adjust production numbers for 2025. Now unsold stock from administration is being returned. A perfect storm where supply and demand is evidencing a real feeling of market reduction in this leisure genre. Some will point blame towards the Pandemic, others to rising costs of raw materials. Others will claim an overpriced leisure industry, that set prices for short term gain. Prices have arguably now become so unaffordable, from Camp Sites, to Vans and the accessories, that something had to give. A perfect storm of a number of factors. Add the newbies who joined this leisure industry during restricted travel years who are now abandoning an overpriced UK leisure genre for a cheaper overseas traditional leisure genre, means the whole tourism and van life leisure market is going through a very real readjustment. Some would argue it is much needed to get the correct clientele who have always been avid fans of this leisure genre back to front and centre of this leisure genre. A podcast actually giving honest reality (Broadlane Dealership, just 1 example) and opinion for customers, is well overdue Matt, as the silence from the industry experts is sadly so self evident.

Does remapping have any implications for the Euro rating of the engine ?

every map should be individually done on a rolling road not a cheap generic one from a bloke with a laptop it will probably clog your dpf filter because it's burning point will be messed up in the map

Think you would have been better doing this one on the £40 NC500 charge the Scottish council have imposed ! Rediculous, free car parks and use of their facilities is going to ruin trade for camp sites who depend on traveller's bookings. I actually think this will impact on the amount of NC500 user's if that's what they are hoping for, as not everybody trust car parks as a safe park up, especially older people. Will they pay the fee and also book a site pitch 🤷‍♂️ It's going to work out a lot of money overall if you a retired couple ! Let us know what you think Matt . . . Sam Cannock Staffs 🙏

You need to get other side of remapping where things have gone wrong think gadget John had problems worth sharing

It's not funny 😂 guy's knocking his faulty van 🤷‍♂️ I feel for him, think I know a mobile guy who can diagnose and repair any fault 🧐

I thought I would have a look at this channel. Unfortunately the "humour" is a bit puerile..... I'll give it a miss.
