Default Re: 2.2 HDi remap questions

I am about 140 miles from Dorchester, which in itself is not a problem; I would love to be able to do this.

There is, however, a slightly bigger issue:

My car was written off on 24th June 2009 in a severe 60mph frontal impact.

I was driving at the speed limit on a main road when a driver emerged from a side road about 3 car lengths ahead of me. I had no chance at all.

I ploughed into the side of the engine bay of this emerging vehicle at over 50mph, I estimate. The external damage was extensive. To look at it was horrific.

Thankfully I got away extremely lightly on the physical front. The restraint systems all worked superbly. Mentally, however, it's screwed me up a bit, I'm sad to say.

In short, then, the answer is no, but it's for all the reasons I didn't want to have to be giving you.

What I can vouch for though is the car's integrity in a severe impact.

And I still fully recommend you get your car tuned similarly, you will not be disappointed at all. The results are immediate and eye opening! I also found an overall reduction in fuel usage and the engine (which is already one of the smoothest 4 cylinder diesels anyway) felt even silkier afterwards.

I wondered if it would be possible to meet and if you would take me for a drive. I live near Dorchester
