You may be OK Keith as its not that much of a jump it's only about 20% from 131,.compared to 40% for the 116.

Just had to go out for a drive today, the 160 remap I had done yesterday really has transformed my car. It's as if I've bought a new motor, where has all the power come from? I can pull away from the lights as if it were a petrol car, I can keep up with the flow of traffic with ease, I now drive as if I'm holding the car back, it just wants to go. Really impressed with the remap, wish I had done it sooner. If you want to wake up your Rover 75 or MG ZT and enjoy driving, get it done, the CDTI 2.0 litre engines are amazing, wake them up, you know you want to.

You will be catching yourself grinning like an imbecile on a regular basis now Has been ages since i had mine done but i still look for excuses to take her out for a spin
My Father gave me a lift today to pick my 75 up from having its bumper sprayed and the trip back was far nicer than the drive out in his diesel Insignia! More refined and the power delivery is much smoother.

I totally agree with the above, having had my Tourer kindly checked over and remapped by club member Lovell (Gary) last month up here in NE Scotland. I've never had a car that takes off when you push the go pedal but simply WOW! Overtaking on the A96 has never been so effortless and enjoyable. I have been called Mr Magoo in the past for sticking at 55mph but at least now I can say "I Have the power!!"
