Hey guys just reg'd on here. Had mine since July so havnt clocked up many miles yet (2000).

Got mine as a company car after having renault traffic vans for the last few years.

Use it for moto x + being my daily drive. Gotta say best motor Ive had in years! Just does everything!

Aleady fitted a adjustable race chip which 'claims' to bring power from 171 to 220 odd. Found it gave amazing mid and response but took a few tries to get dialed in w/out throwing the engine management light up!

Cheers guys!

Had to take the adjuster back one on that superchip box thingy I got. Damn thing kept spiking out at night - i think due to the colder air, feels a little less power in the mid but still quick enough. I do get a puff of the classic diesel smoke, reading on here though that seems quite normal

Gonna be using it fully brimmed tomorrow. Got 3 Moto x bikes, toolbox, oils, stands, 3 big kit bags and 5 up inside upto Elsworth Moto Park in Cambridge - cant wait :dance:

Unfortunately that seems to be the case for most of the fuel pressure based boxes...The ebay unbranded one I had, I had to turn back so much to be stable under all weather conditions that it was pointless having it....Wait until the winter comes, or perhaps October with a hot day/cold day/wet day....What did it for me was that mine was stable for two weeks, then one foggy morning I entered the motorway full throttle just merged on and then bang into limp mode right in front of a lorry....I had to pull over quick....

I would do some serious testing real soon to determine whether you are comfortable enough with it....And trust it....

Yep I've made that mistake and been there...As I had to deal with an ebay dealer, funnily enough he was a very good communicator before I bought it but never heard from them again when I had these weather problems...
