    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    The person in question seems to have a bit of a reputation on Facebook. You’d have to trust that anything had actually been loaded let alone the right map. To be honest my v-cross runs fine as it is. It’s a lot sharper than my previous 2.5 d’max and although running about locally with...

    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    I couldn’t possibly comment 🤣 I had no intention of taking up the offer. Suppose my point was any skally could supply the Isuzu remap.

    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    As has been said no they won’t as after all it is an illegal activity tampering with a vehicles emissions controls. Bear in mind if caught there are threats of heavy fines and you’ll have to make good the ‘tampering’ 😳 I’m also led to believe your insurance is invalidated. All that said I’ve not...

    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    Subject to the dyno graphs being genuine though don’t have any real reason to doubt them. Martin at Pendle did comment on one of his vids that he’d had a facelift 1.9 with the Isuzu remap flashed. He said the their quoted figures were correct though the actual remap was very rough and his was a...

    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    Exactly. The Isuzu remap is provided by Ecutek and it’s simply flashing the ecu with the ecutek file. Chap on Facebook who‘s doing dpf deletes etc said he could flash me the Ecutek file for £450. Having done one or two he says there has been no feedback from any dealers and of course you are...

    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    I would have thought so. Chatted with a chap on Facebook who had a facelift 1.9 d’max and he said Martins remap transformed his truck. Forgot what figures in hp and torque he quoted but was similar to the claimed from Isuzu. Fella at Scarborough had his v-cross tuned by Martin before Isuzu...

    isuzu lag weird problem on the 1.9

    I don’t know it makes it a lot better. Has anyone put one with the approved remap on a rolling road? I’d like to see if the claimed figures are actual? Dealer lent me a v-cross with the remap when I slightly bent mine. I just felt you could spend £800 better elsewhere. Really found it difficult...

    Isuzu Dmax Regen

    Not the best the Isuzu dpf solution. Those that get the best out come have had the dpf internals removed and remapped accordingly. I’ve not heard of anyone failing emissions test at mot. There is talk the gov are aware of these rascals fiddling about with emissions controls on vehicles and talk...

    Another pick up thread

    At first glance I thought it’s a pimped up old model - certainly looks like one?

    New pickup,lease or buy?

    Not surprised regards the d’max - if it was a 2.5 as brakes aren’t the best - or at least I found them a little lacking in an emergency. Fella not so far away is leasing a Hilux instead of a d’max as it was quite a bit cheaper. That said the Hilux is being delayed and he might have second...

    New pickup,lease or buy?

    Are you missing that 2.0 Ranger @Drillman 🤣🤣 I’d say buy now as lease looks expensive though if you shop round their May be deals to be had. Some tell me they nail you when you hand it back for marks and dings on bodywork. I think whatever you do they know what they want for new vehicle and...

    Hilux or DMax

    How have they increased the track as wheels look the same as standard track Hilux? Presume they don’t do the same as the bro’s on Facebook hilux group and slap spacers on 🤣 Are they using a wider rear axle? Looks ok though. Could be! Talking to a near neighbour today was due to take delivery...

    Hilux or DMax

    There is on the d’max too or at least it’s a software update on mine today. Never had much of an issue with lane assist. Overtaking cyclists it does try to steer you back into them. Had to explain to the mrs that just because it does there is no need to let it 🙄 Software update to calm ‘brake...

    Hilux or DMax

    When I asked when is an electric Isuzu being released to which I was told hydrogen was more likely. My Mrs runs an electric mini. It’s fun to drive. Not a big range of about 100 miles but her commute is much less than that so not an issue. It’s useful for journeys under 100 miles but over that...

    Hilux or DMax

    Lewis Hamilton and his mates don’t seem to get long out of a tuned engine 🤣 To answer your question I don’t know. The engine of course isn’t used at max power a lot of the time but Isuzu warrant the power upgrade for 5 years and quite a few miles. More likely to shorten its life are the...

    Hilux or DMax

    There’s a farmer nearby that has land all over taken to running between them with a Polaris side by side. It gets a shift on, on the road even towing a smaller sheep/livestock trailer. Don’t know what top speed is but it soon buzzes off into the distance.

    Hilux or DMax

    Further to the loan d’max with power upgrade the extra torque is more noticeable in that the auto gearbox doesn’t shift down so much at the smallest amount of provocation. My D’Max on some local inclines will drop a gear then pig headedly hang onto the gear rather than changing up. With the...
