    A remap will take it from 140 to 170bhp. I shall be getting mine done shortly.

    once again dont believe everything you read there is a bloke on here who's had a remap on his and it was 145bhp and was rolling roaded for proof, but its the midrange that matters not peak horesepower and the torque which will improve alot.

    Wow if I was at home I would be on the Train now. I have never seen one that cheap. At that price even with faults your not going to break the bank.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
