You won't regret it - apart from the fact that you'll want to keep giving Jim money for more mods............................

Do you have to change your DV or is it just cosmetic

Re: Ive done it now!!!

why is it more reliable with a DV?, and does the remap effect reliability? what BHP will it be?, ive been thinking i need more go, not even had it a 2 weeks yet but i need a reliable car so dont want to bring on problems sooner, if you know what i mean!!

Re: Ive done it now!!!

its not a matter of adding a DV rather than changing the standard plastic DV for a servicable alloy DV

Re: Ive done it now!!!

My Octy is 18 months old /12k and I was offered remap by the dealer when bought new so I 'm not expecting it be less reliable. Tyres and Optimax will be used a bit more but unless you are booting it economy hasn't changed. Go on you know you want to
