Hi, just wondered if someone could help? I’ve just bought a 2009 mito, and the head unit has been changed to a pioneer aftermarket one. The odometer is flashing - so I assume the blue&me module was removed and the old owner just dealt with the flashing! So, can I just replace the blue&me unit...

Hi people So I brought my 1.9 gt last October and had an issue with it cruising. At 1500-2000 rpm the car becomes very lumpy, in any gear but over or under those revs it's fine. I had the EGR blocked off and it ran fine. We cleaned it but it went back to running lumpy, put a new one in, still...

Hi, I was advised today not to use a total EGR blank without a remap that keeps the EGR closed (I was going to use a fixitsan module). Apparently I over time it can lead to inlet manifold damage. Does anyone know the reason behind this? What would the blank do to the manifold (and it wasn't...

Has anyone got any solutions to quieten down an aftermarket exhaust on a GT. Had one fitted as it was a cheaper alternative to a genuine Alfa, and the booming inside the car at certain revs is awful. I've soundproofed the boot to no avail, so now thinking of selling it while i still have some...
