Gearbox  Firmware Upgrade
« on: 12 November 2007, 06:37:06 »
Had the firmware upgraded by the Boy on Saturday,wow what a difference,feels like a new car.
Also did a few other minor jobs for me, and told me of a couple to do myself.
Get down to Brackley,if you need any help.
Thanks Jamie.

Probably only the main Stealer, TheBoy and Mark have proper Vauxhall Tech 2 equipment which costs more than my car is worth ;D

i had the upgrade done at the nearly wales meet, well worth it....

on a light throttle it will go through the gears now seamlessly, well worth the investment

Had this done on the MV6, the CDX is a stange version which didnt need upgrading.

Makes a big difference.

Can heartily recommend the 'test drive'  both myself and Mrs Jimbob thoroughly enjoyed it.  Slightly worrying amount of smoke coming off my brakes when we stopped though   :o

Can the upgrade be done on a 3.0 v6 - prefacelift? I'd love to get mine done. Live in Chesterfield but work in Reading and can get to Nottingham...

Possibly, thinks thats the 5L40E box so very different to our humble 4 speeds (you lucky bugger).

The 99 model year one above can certainly be done.
