Hi there mate, would this be the same process for a year 2000 Discovery 2 with the apparent Bosch system?
-
This process should be done using a static wrist strap, static mat - all properly grounded. An IC extraction tool should also be used - not a screwdriver!
Static damage may not be apparent immediately either - it can cause pre-mature failure later on.

what chip did u use and do it require the security system to be reset
-
for a rover*..but is it the SAME process for EVERY engine or just a V8?
-
OMG..I want the WIZARDS KNOWLEDGE. lol I just learned how to chip an ecu in under 5 minutes...wow
-
no static strap?
-
ahahahahahah

Whatever you do, don't let this guy touch your car.

Do this on a grounding mat. On a dry day, a static discharge would have fried this ECM. Seen it happen more than once.



In 24 years we have never seen this happen. We have chipped thousands of ECU's now, and have never had a problem, however our instructions always state you should be earthed, and in this video we were.
Many thanks for your concern.
