I wonder if it'll be as utterly pointless as DPF's..

Well why go 70 or 80? Well done, you've got to your destination a few minutes quicker but burnt twice as much fuel. I get the sense you do very little commuting. Most of the time, I would struggle going faster than 60 because of the amount of traffic. So why can't I just sit back, listen to my...

Fair enough then, each to their own :) I have a 1.6 diesel and since 95% of my miles is motorway, I just stick it in at 60. So the engine's just running at a nice temperature at constant low revs and I can easily get 75mpg so I don't feel as though that side of it is much to worry about imo...

Do you not worry about the money aspect of it? I don't mean to sound like a c*ck, I'm just curious. Seen quite a few people like this on here and I've never really understood it. Definitely a lot less than the 20,500 I've done in my first year anyhow :)

2800 miles in a year? ****** hell

You don't seem to understand the difference between driver incompetence and luxury. High beam assist, fair enough, but the rest are all there to help with safety and providing a more enjoyable and relaxing drive. I mean, what's wrong with just letting the car stay in the lane for you as you...

I do a lot of commuting in to Manchester as well, around 32 miles. Going to work is fine, early enough to miss all of the traffic, but college... 2 and a half hours of bumper to bumper and all I have is a manual with regular cruise control so I can completely understand your comment. Don't...

The whole thing is f*cked tbh. When I got my car in Feb, £1140 with no NCB, now 10 months after (Admiral's 10 month policy), cheapest could get it to was around £1400 and that was with some persuasion. No crashes/claims anything since getting my insurance the first time; 1 year older (makes a...

I don't have an automatic myself, but I would imagine it would just stick revving at the limiter since the computer wouldn't know when you want to change since it's leaving that decision up to you

That's the thing though. There's a big difference between a technician and a fitter and it sounds like these men are just fitters..

Well played, that was a good purchase!

Ahh, for some reason I thought you had a tuning box haha but great to hear that it's a big improvement for you! And shut up! £250 to get dynamic taillights retrofitted? I remember having a look and it seemed be around £1500 just for the lights themselves, but that was before I fell in love with...

How much did they pay and which one did you get? I've heard of a few such as DTUK, TDi Tuning etc. And you retrofitted dynamic taillights as well?

DANNY, FOR THE SAKE OF MY WALLET, STOP!

Ah that's fair enough. Glad to hear you've had a good experience with your remap! And yeah, that's the downside to tuning boxes.. all they do is trick the ECU. Get a cheap tuning box and you're bound to run in to issues I suppose :(
