Some members may not know this . . . but it should be recorded.

Now I may have this all wrong - if so my mistake - but when I saw that other genius BigRuss last year, I understood that Brian and Russ were the two instigators in cracking the codes when BMW disappeared off the scene enabling them to get into the 7 on-board computers built into our motors. So those of us who run diesels can now enjoy the full 160bhp the M47R was designed to deliver. It took them both 18 months to crack all of them.

Also when XPart ran out of ECUs they ordered up some more - maybe from Bosch ? - but they turned out to be faulty. Half a dozen were passed round rhe country to the then leading PCB designers but they couldn't find the fault. So Russ got hold of one - and - well you can guess the rest.
