Just need to know where the nearest recommended rolling road is? Perhaps using Gatwick Airport as a starting point.... This is just in case I decide to see how the Cerbie is doing after her service...Passed her M.O.T OK today but minor probs. with shocks.... possibly due to low mileage Having the problems sorted, hope to find out the difference this weekend, if I can...(That's if she's ready and I can get away from the decorating ) If all is well then I think the A272 beckons....Billingshurst to Winchester...

I wonder if Teds adverts are smart and link to certain keywords or something. Gmail does that.

Austec are good though, my car was luverly after they serviced it.

Well worth the trip, especially after the having a sports exhaust fitted.

Peterfield (or is it Midburst) is espeically good with small street and stone wall houses - don't think the residents approve of you taking their scenic village in three times though!!!

You're probably thinking of Petworth Rob

TON70,where abouts are you? Im just outside Horsham.

With advanced warning, I could possibly meet you and Tripps at Austec to watch whats going on and get a free cuppa (I say that as the last one cost me nearly £2k ROFL)

That's the one, always get it mixed up, probably as I get too excited every time I go there!

Crawley...so just on your doorstep, what sort of cost was the ECU remap (if you don't mind me being nosey?)it may have to be put on the back burner for a while as the little service has sprung a few surprises on the shock front (no puns intended )

The actual remap, IIRC, comes out at about £750, but add RR and injectors cleaned, I believe it comes out at around £1500 for the whole lot. I had the injectors replaced rather than cleaned which appears to have liberated a few extra ponies, but cost a bit more. Definately worth the remap just for the improved low speed driving, as a few other owners will testify

That's what I'll be paying, excluding VAT so £881.25 in total.

Thankfully I won a 15% Austec voucher in our regional Christmas raffle

That will be why there's so many adverts for Speed6 servicing when you go to the Tuscan forum then

before anyone starts a small scale war, I'm only joking
