I get mine from a guy in Oxfordshire, iirc £70 delivered.

I got my chip through this chap and it is very good. Highly recommended in my experience.

And the chip provider I use is based in North Oxfordshire, and has maps for all the different TD ECU types.

Be aware, some of the later ones (late 427 and 428) may need sockets soldering in.

Mine needs sockets, removed it last time this topic cropped up on the forum. Any chance of his contact details (PM) so I can get in touch.

Yes, one big issue may be if your existing chip is socketed or soldered.
