Climate control makes the heater less like a hurricane when you 1st switch it on for one.

The auto-box upgrade is amazing! I had mine done by TheBoy and went from software version 3 to 8, I couldn't believe the car afterwards. So much smoother and more "solid" pulling away.

Gotta be done :y

When gently cruising and accelerate very gently past 45/50mph, do you feel the slight jerk? If so, you want the upgrade - it makes the box much smoother :y

There are updates for prefacelift, though sadly doesn't fix the fans issue like the facelift update does.  There are different versions of the prefacelift panel hardware, and the type in my MV6, it seemed to make it more consistent.

Only time I'd recommend making a journey to see Mark or I to do climate on prefacelift is if you had one of the very early ones that only have a 5 speed fan - the update, from feedback I've had, is a big improvement.
