Not a lot happened this year. Previous career change plans didn't work out so pennies were a bit tight early in the year. At this point the 2nd hand car market crashed and a quick valuation...

Actually, I'm (not) sorry to say to say that this forum was one that was fairly decisive in my direction regarding my choice of remap.
So going off the declared prices (for the EUIII D5 as an example map) at the moment we have (in good ol' GBP or £):

Um, did you just contact the dealer or have they had the car back and checked it out. At least the codes need reading first.
I've had the same 'ABS service required' and 'Brake Assist Service Required' messages not long after I bought my barge. Probably a result of clogged ABS sensor ring. I "cleaned" mine with a well...

Although it's fitted to my D5 barge, this might be of interest to people on here :biggrin:.
