Have a word with Big Russ, book yourself a cheap overnight stay near him in a Travelodge/Premier Inn and have a ride up and have the 160 map done on your car!

Default Big Russ?

Aaaaaaaah. So is the dealer right? Is x-part no longer supplying the remap disc?

Well the disc is showing as "Out Of Stock" at Rimmers, so that might be right!

Tell him to ask X-Part Technical at Desford........

Have a look here, included is the part number of VUF000010, which can be bought via Rimmer Bros HERE
It's still available, or I can do it for you if they still insist it's not

It's a special order as it is specific to vehicle VIN,
I don't think there would be a problem, in fact I know there won't be a problem
As the software is the same throughout, it is only the unlock code that is specific to the car it is being applied to.

Thanks Brian!

Still think that the OP would be better off having your 160 up-grade, either from Big Russ or your good self!

No, P.M member XPart02 as he is the man who creates these for the dealer, and mention which garage it is and he'll put them right

For miss Moppet to visit Russ, she would have a four hour drive each way, that's not really viable innit..


But I believe the T4 guru (cant think of his name) from South Wales is going to be down in Devon in the near future, so that maybe her best bet if she is looking for a remap up to 135bhp..

Unless I'm missing something, the OP is in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, which is about 2 hours from Marinabrian. An absolute no brainer. Don't even consider paying some fly-by-night outfit £300. You could travel to Newcastle, have the remap and a full diagnostic, and take the Mrs out for a very nice dinner for far less than that.

I can 100% guarantee this upgrade is still available from Xpart.
It is not a stock item so will never show stock.
I create the unlock code to order.

Thanks
Xpart Technical
