Hello,
I am considering installing a Stienbauer Chip to my 3L
Ranger, I would appreciate any comments good or bad on their performance.
Thanks

We had a Steinbauer chip fitted to our 2litre Landrover Freelander TD4. The improvement in driveability was very noticeable, and it towed our 1350kg Jayco
Penguin Outback much better. Not much improvement in fuel economy though, even when not towing. Everyone who drove the Freelander thought it was much better. Downside - a bit of overfuelling on take-off, ie a bit of black smoke out of the exhaust; not too bad unless you floored it, plus soot stains on the van or the boat when we were towing. In summary, pleased that we did it. Sold the Freelander a couple of years ago, and now have a Pajero NS diesel auto. Considering fitting a similar chip.

Hi Keir & Marg,
Notice you mention putting a chip onto an NS Pajero.
I have a 2008 NS Auto and tried to do the same. Have had nothing but problems and have removed the chip entirely. Still talking to supplier but not a lot of enthusiasm. Chip brand is SPT ( Sterling performance technologies) If you do go ahead get a return/performance guarantee before you buy.
Fergo.
