Hi everyone

I bought a defender 90 td5 recently and after checking some fuses, my dash i.e. speedo, rev counter, etc stopped working after a very bumpy 4x4 track, found a unichip, it is not connected, I took it to a motor power place and they figured I could just connect it, it shouldn't cause any problems, the thing that worries me a bit is why would the former owner unplug it and not mention it in the sale? So if you guys have any advice or used a similar chip on a td5 I would very much appreciate it. How would this chip influence the longlivety of the engine, captain (my landy) is not really a spring chicken, he has around 175k on the clock.

Thanks

Jean

Hi Dave

Thanks for the quick reply.

I got the dash back working, at R5 for a new fuse, which is awesome, I am new to landrovers, and everyone allways warn you about the costs etc, but I figured I'd take the risk, the defender's off road ability makes it worth it. And yes, while looking under the drivers seat at the fuses I found some loose cabels which led to the chip. I've got a little black box installed which should probably help with the monitoring of the engin? Althoug it doesn't monitor EGT as far as I know. I was thinking I'd leave the chip most of the time, but use it in off road if I feel a bit more power would be beneficial? But I'd rather save my engin than go a bit faster, somehow I feel allright doing 120km/h in the landy with my window open.
