Does anyone have any experience. I've just been offered one for my TD6 and I'm keen to give it a whirl but as I see it appears to date back to 2003 (though in as new condition) I'm wondering if it will talk to my '06 correctly? Any infomred views greatly appreciated. Thumbs Up

Keep saving up and get a proper remap, not a box which lies to the ECU. FFRR owner by proxy

+10, boxes are rubbish, get the job done properly! otherwise you will be just dumping fuel and giving off loads of black smoke.

Good question Ash. I haven't asked yet - been lent it on approval . . . . . . No idea what it's actually - have you?

Simon - what age was your TD6. It's not clear to me if it works on all ages - the only listing I found went to '06 so wondered if that was only pre facelift?
