I dont know.....I hate to say I told you so (on the autobox software update to all on here) but, I told you so....

So what version's mine likely to be then Mark? '02 plate 3.2.

Is it worth me doing the upgrade?

Anywhere between v3 which is what I had on my 2001 and v8 on AA's 2002... and yes, if you don't have v8 yet then it is absolutly worth it!

How do I find out what version I have?

My guess is via tech2 not sure if the equivalents will tell you your ecu version.

I'm sure Theboy will be able to confirm

In theory the 'cheapo' Tech2 should be able to tell you which version of the software is installed, but as my 'cheapo' didn't actually manage to communicate with the autobox ECU, I can't confirm this... would be intresting to try the communication with the gearbox ECU now that I have the new software though.

Also, I can confirm that the Sports mode now is actually quite fun to drive... did some overtaking on B roads today (nothing too daring, but you do want to be brisk) and it was not bad.... I still would'nt want to use Sports mode for day-to-day city driving, but it is now much improved. It shifts smoothly and quickly and without the sense of drama which I didn't like before the software upgarde. The car also feels stronger, but I think this is because beforehand I was hasitating when putting my foot down, expecting to get kicked-about when the gear shifts, and I am more confident now. So the ECU update is a big success all around...
