Geo Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Basically it was time she had a half Decent 4x4, so i pick this up for her on Sat morning. 3ltr 7 Speed Trip-tronic Auto. A cheeky wee Re-map hopefully will see 260bhp maybe? I'll get some half decent pics up on Sat once she's had a good clean/wash/polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 George, speak to Simon at e-Maps about these, am sure he does some great things with them. Nice motors them, almost as nice as an X6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Very nice Geo, very nice. My Gf's getting a coat for Xmas.... god wish i got her a coat now. How much was that bad boy. well the Merc garage had it up for £23,995 last week, but when we went to see it on Sat it had dropped to £21,000. manahed to get another 1k off as it needs 2 front tyres, pads/disk as they were faded when i took it for a test drive. So you could say i got it for just over 20k. Oh and i managed to squeeze out a years tax. £445 George, speak to Simon at e-Maps about these, am sure he does some great things with them. Nice motors them, almost as nice as an X6 Will do mate, im doing a wee bit of research on them, i want the MPG up a bit more as it pants at mo.

johnny g Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Will do mate, im doing a wee bit of research on them, i want the MPG up a bit more as it pants at mo. Don't hold your breath mate. I had mine remapped, power went from 286bhp to 354bhp - and economy was meant to go up an extra 2mpg, but I've not seen it. Maybe 0.5mpg at best. It's the 4WD and aero effect of a big 4x4 that kills it, you can't map that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Wow... I got my missus some sexy lingerie for Xmas but tbh its more for myself Well done mate. I don't really like the old Merc Jeeps but the newer ones look amazing!!! If you can afford to get that for your missus you must be able to afford something nice for yourself too? Don't hold your breath mate. I had mine remapped, power went from 286bhp to 354bhp - and economy was meant to go up an extra 2mpg, but I've not seen it. Maybe 0.5mpg at best. It's the 4WD and aero effect of a big 4x4 that kills it, you can't map that out! Off topic but this seems like a massive increase Johnny! Well done! Is this just a remap or do you have other supporting mods? Is yours the X6 or M6? Tempted to remap my missus Q7 but apparently the newer ones are very hard to remap bar ECU piggyback (which will definitely voide the warranty...)

Abz Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hold on, can we have a picture of her previous Jeep Geo?!? That is stunning & they are so smooth to drive too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the good thing is iv got a fuel card for my car, so can now and again swing lins a few free tanks of fuel now and again. He came to the house, in a white van (don't know the reg!), acted a little camp and flashed through the ODB2 port Off topic but this seems like a massive increase Johnny! Well done! Is this just a remap or do you have other supporting mods? Is yours the X6 or M6? Tempted to remap my missus Q7 but apparently the newer ones are very hard to remap bar ECU piggyback (which will definitely voide the warranty...) Diesel turbo FTW, mate. If you want the two best places (purely IMO) for remaps, then speak to eMaps, and if Simon can't do it, then try ringing Mike Cooper and DMS Automotive. Both are mobile.

Geo Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hold on, can we have a picture of her previous Jeep Geo?!? That is stunning & they are so smooth to drive too! Old Jeep, and still going. Well now she is, fork on clutch broke, now fixed though. might break her or sell for £300 just to get rid. Yeah i liked the way it drove, the 7 speed box was really smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Regarding my post. Yeah just getting it from A to B was on the same level as the supra. I had a freelander TD4 it did about 26mpg. For me i couldnt live with that over the course of the year, Id love to have another 4x4. I keep looking at the warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 That looks really nice. You bought it for yourself really didn't you? All the best presents are those that find their way back into the hands of the giver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
