Title: Geabox firmware upgrade
Post by: chrisdb on 20 November 2007, 10:42:02
Thanks to Marks DTM the gearchange on my 3.0 v6 is superb. It was good before so I did not know what to expect, but now I can't even feel the box changing. Also checked out all the systems for me with Tech2. Well worth getting done. I have got a new fault with speedo, started this morning but I'll start another thread.

Cheers Mark ;)

Yes, an upgrade VERY worth having  :y

Don't think anyone has been disapointed, or even unimpressed yet

This sounds of interest to me........ can it be done to a 2.6 on a 51 plate it's got the Y26SE engine and the gearbox can be  a real dog sometimes!

Sorry, I could have said "Yes, of course you can, as the 2001 Omega comes with the GS821 ECU which is flashable". But I couldn't be arsed, and "yup" fully answered the question...

Stafford is a pit (in places), but really nice in other places (like where I live).

So, no, it's nowhere near Nottingham. By the sounds of it, it might be worth the trip though.

http://www.wheatonaston.org.uk...it's even got a meadow!!!!! Now you're impressed, I can tell  ::)

Quote from Wheaton Aston website:

"Wheaton Aston

Introduction

It is believed that the village of Wheaton Aston would have been in existence at the time of the Domesday Book

It is said that two of the major events in Wheaton Aston’s history directly affecting the size of the village, have been the great fire in 1777 which destroyed half of the village houses and the installation of better sewerage in the 1960s and 70s which had the opposite effect of allowing more houses to be built. "


Never a dull moment in Wheaton Aston then? I  don't know how you all find the time to go to work.  ;D ;D ;D

It's non-stop there...
Last week, a chicken actually crossed the road  :o

That's why I like it there...nice and quiet. Much better than the cackhole in Brum where I used to live.

How about Wheaton Aston then  ;).

It would be nice to see what all the fuss is about with this upgrade. I'm not in an URGENT hurry to get this done, so I'll join in the next update party (if there is such a thing). I'll bring the Jaffa Cakes  :y
