QUESTION

Hi John,

In your review of the Pajero Sport, it is a vehicle that meets most of my wants, such as (luggage) room, capability, Super-Select 4WD, reliability, value - I like it.

I’m wondering if you have any experience negotiating with a dealer to install any power chip mod in a new vehicle and still have the factory warranty.

There seems to be many such plug-in type power-tuned chips, some seemingly offering warranties covering the car such as the Torque Power Module Plus.

Thanks for your advice,

[Name Withheld]
