Out of interest, what is the difference between the Gold and Silver ones?

Not heard of that one, just blue = speed 6, black = early version

The Silver one will do 2 bits of toast at a time, the Gold one does 4..

Thanks. I'm a lot wiser now.

I'm pretty sure mine is silver, and so was the one on my last Cerb. I think I'd better go and take a look.

I have a gold one off a 2000 model 4.5 LW. Is that what you're after?

Nothing at all, they're just the V8 version and the newer type (apparently the black ones are fairly rare as they were only on very early cars). I'm guessing they're a little more limited in their mapping capability but surely not by much..? I'm only after one as the race ones are not mappable and I'm going to need a remap to get my 4.7 to work properly..

Just checked mine, a '99 4.5, and it's a Silver one. Pretty sure my old 4.2 had a silver one as well (time for you to look Dave wink)
I have a '98 4.2 in the garage (although it's actually a 4.7) and that has a Gold one fitted. Incidentally the Silver one has the serial port connection inside the box, the Gold one does not.
