Yeah, I know where you're coming from, but I still don't think I should mention any names. Yeah, he knows what he is doing so I had no worries that he could sort it out.

Yeah, TBF I would rather not name the tuner, he is great and I had complete confidence that he would get the issue resolved. I know it shouldn't have happened in the first place, but people are only human and can make mistakes... he was under a lot of pressure and snowed under with work the...

So I got my car back last night... running perfect now. The tuner admitted he hadn't tested all the gears thoroughly due to being pressed for time, so he took more time last night to iron out any problems. The car is actually a bit more lively now than it already was, and I took it to the...

Got a good deal on a set of 4 Kumho's for £300, they seem fairly good so far in the recent weather we've been having. Never thought about changing the ECU... I will be seeing my tuner today, so will ask him about this. I was looking at falkens before I went with Kumho's... they looked pretty...

No, the tyres I got are fine, but in retrospect, I probably should've gone for better ones...

Not really... wheels £500... tyres £75 each... could've gone a lot cheaper on the tyres.

I'm hoping I'll not have to upgrade anything and maybe just a minor adjustment to the program will sort out the problem. Clutch and flywheel already cost me £700 all in + £350 for DPF removal and remap. Also just bought new wheels and tyres which cost £800 all in.

Okay, the car has been tuned... not sure if this is a standard program, but he does make adjustments to the programs and has in the past to iron out any rough spots or problems. The reason it wasn't properly tested is kind of a long story, but basically he was very busy all week, I wanted it...

Forgot to mention... had the DPF removed also on the first map about 2 months ago as it was blocked and no amount of driving would regen it. Thought about going for a Terraclean at some stage also, but maybe changing the fuel filter and adding a good diesel injector cleaner might be a good idea...

Yes, its definitely possible that there was already an underlying issue that has been highlighted by this remap. Hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this over the next few days. Will report back when I find out the cause and solution...

Yeah, the problem has obviously occurred because of the new map, and taking it back to the old map would probably solve the issue, but the problem is that I like the new map (apart from this obvious 'limp mode problem'). I'm hoping the tuner can fix the problem by making some adjustments, but...

Thanks Obi, this gives me some things to work with... will also check out the fuel cleaners you mentioned. Thanks. Thanks T9. This first map I got a about 2 months ago was a safer map as the clutch couldn't handle the higher one, so I changed the clutch and flywheel about 6 weeks ago, then...

Hi, new to the forum and looking for a bit of help. Had my car recently remapped and now the car goes into limp mode (with an Engine management light) whenever I put the boot down (about 3.5-4k rpm). When this happens, pulling the car over and restarting it solves the problem, but this means I...
