Re: Remapped and Well Chuffed

Mangoletsi - I was more comparing to Caledonia who look you in the eye whilst lying to you and don't take much care with your car. They are not conscientous.

Is the dark side beckoning Martin?

Sort of toying with the idea in my mind. I'm looking for another job,(a competitor who we refer to as the Dark Side as well) however that will mean lots more miles, and I want to change my V6 before the 120,000 mile service as that will be expensive again, all the brakes will need doing again, at the current rate I will need 4 new tyres also. And it will be 6 years old by then.

The calculation I've been doing in my head is that for what it would cost me extra to purchase a 2.4 M-Jet and remap it, plus spend on diesel for 30,000 miles per year, is the same as what I would pay for a cheaper 166 V6 and double the quantity of petrol. I don't think I would buy a brand new car again.

It's the heart vs. head argument and seeing as though I already have a V6, I must have a heart!
