No worries Hoygaard, i just got a little worried for a moment lol.
My 2.4JTD was originally a German import with 146BHP and was a great drive before i had the remap now its just alot better through the range of gears, its smoother from take off and in heavy traffic, with the benefit of the extra torque i manage to pee off all those BMW 330 TD and 320 TD sheep when the roads clear... on a recent trip to London i counted 5 red faced sheep ha ha... I have heard some people whinge that the car cannot take over 180 BHP but so far so good.. I counted on changing the clutch within another 30-40 K anyway but i doubt i will still have the car then... I am smitten with new GT and will wait till there are some second hand etc.
PS does anyone know of a good Alfa specialist (not dealer) North West UK???
