Should have sent it to me to do, I'd have been very gentle :-)
Will they get it repaired?

Drove van to wurk ......doing work now..... waiting to drive van home from wurk. :wink:

The good old re-mapped 140ps with lots of torque comes in handy when some moron in his Toyota Corolla tries to undertake me on the inside in a converging lane going into a roundabout.....lots of screeching and smoke from his tyres/brakes, was quite funny really...he didn't seem to think so though, especially when the local plod pulled him over 100m up the road :lol:.

I'm 6'1" & the best part of 100kg's....the skinny little "moron" was lucky to be 60kg dripping wet and was threatening to "F#@k me up"...ppppfffftttt....Moron.

Was a very good idea mate & still is :D
If you stick in something too fancy you will be replacing either drivers or passengers window & a new stereo while someone will be getting high on the little cash they get for your stereo :D

I replaced the alternator pulley. Pricey piece at 90euros.
Nice sense of satisfaction after the job, bit fiddly in situ, but great to get rid of that loud chirping screech on start up and switch off :D

Got a loan of tool from my mechanic!

Yep...well worth the effort, throttle response doesn't really change, has always been good.... but there's just more of everything, she'll turn tyres in 3rd if I'm not loaded or careful...As Loot says....get it mapped for mid-range gruntage.....as a great race driver here in Australia once said..."Horsepower sells....Torque wins races"..!
