Did you get a T-Jet in the end? Any plans for a remap?

Yes I did. Maybe, gonna wait till the manufacturers warranty runs out first. It's plenty of power for me at the moment anyway.

His word on what is covered is worth exactly 'squat', if it ain't written down then it is completely deniable.

Also don't bother with a full valet, their monkeys will do more damage to the paintwork than good. More than likely using a dirty scouring pads or maybe even steel wool

I watched their guys whilst I was waiting around and they were suprisingly good. They sprayed on a degreaser, used a runny snow foam and then jet washed off followed by a wash with a microfibre, then they will polish and buff for me.

I got done the same way when I got my Mums Z4. I noticed the roof squeeked when down. Mentioned it, they said it was somethingorother and it would be sorted. Collected car, asked if everything had been sorted, they said yes. The squeek was still there. Went back in to have a few bits sorted, they still couldnt fix the squeek.

The dealer was 200 miles away and it then turned out that squeeks and rattles are not covered under the BMW AUC warranty so... it still squeeks.

Moral of story: Unless its 100%, dont drive it away.

I will be able to test it before I leave as stated, but thanks for the heads up anyway mate. The garage is only 40 miles away from me.

It's worth it. I had mine done while in warranty and Fiat didn't have any issues with it for the few bits I had done.

Should get about 145bhp~ out of the engine with a remap and GSR induction kit (£380 together) at Red Dot in Watford. Don't get anyone else to remap it or a silly K&N filter as the GSR stuff is the best for the engine.

Yeah I know. I'm a regular on another forum and they rave about them.

No idea about that rule. I use to post on there quite a bit when I had my Mk2 and first got my Bravo.
