[QUOTE=pedu;1642481]Hi,



Last sunday I drove from Belgium to Olney to do an update from 115 to 160.The trip back home was an open month.....this is an other car !It flies !



A big thanks to Phil !He also changed the IPK so I can see the speed I am driving and that is necessary with what is under my feet right now !

A must for every diesel driver.
Well that speed display is clearly different to the speed shown on the speedo, so I can only guess the car uses 2 calibrations, an accurate one for the odo etc, and an over egged one to make sure you don't sue Rover when you get caught speeding!!

Would be interesting to find out the acceleration times with the 160 remap.

I would think it would be faster than the 1.8T which has same horsepower but less torque?

Maybe we could do that at a meet / racetrack - try to get official owners club figures?

Now what would be really clever is a little IPK patch to show 0-60 times....
