They eill be an mgr specialist, remember mgr couldn't virginise the ipk or fit a mk2 bcu to a mk1, that is only possible by altering the coding which is a bit more involved and took a fair bit of research by the t4 gurus to do

Send your ipk over here, have one of our experts virginise it then take it to the garage for coding in, then they can see that it can be done!

I already have my IPK virginised. I even already have fitted my awesome dialsheets from Klarzy.
But nobody can install it.
At the same time, I want to install the MK2 BCU and set some options. And everybody keeps telling me that it can't be done. And I keep telling them that many people have already done this before.

It kinda sucks to life this far away from the T4 guru's.

Also no luck with finding the guy from Hamburg...

It also seems that I'm the only Dutchie who has some interest in this. So I considering just driving my car to England myself and forget about this 'sharing the cost' thing.

I have just sat down and worked out the numbers.

A realistic £400 in expenses to get there and back. Fuel costs, a couple of nights in a hotel, ferry and food. While I would love to travel that distance and would happily do so, there would have to be a bit more in it for me than just one T4 session! Plus I cannot imagine Vinnie paying £400 on his own.

How many people do you know who own a Rover 75 in the Netherlands? Or even a Rover at all?

I personally don't know anybody else but the guys on this forum.
And I'm not paying 400 for 1 session indeed .

I'm now considering just driving to the ferry and going to England for a day to get it hooked on a T4 with one of the guru's.
Unfortunaly, the list with locations of T4 guru's is gone... so I have no clue who is the most soutern guru I would want to visit.

Lol... not very likely. Sunday is just work day for me . But thanks for the tip.

Rotterdam to hull ferry is roughly: 330 euro's / 260 pounds.

Driving to Dover and back will cost roughly 135 euro / 106 pounds.

Getting Rich to fly is about 152 euro / 120 pounds.

(all prices excl. T4 session costs)

Smile For our Dutch Friends around Rotterdam

Certainly worth considering for folk around Rotterdam - get the ferry to Hull and 10 miles from the ferry terminal in Barton Upon Humber is Just 75's & ZT's garage and Trikey the owner has a T4 plus an encyclopaedic knowledge of 75's and ZT's. I Know the ferry can be pricey but if you come over in the winter months the cost is lower and the petrol costs from Hull to Barton will be less than 10 euros plus 4 euros to cross the Humber Bridge and back. Since i have had my ZT the best thing was finding Trikey in Barton.
