Can anyone tell me of anyone who can do the auto-box software upgrade for a 2l 16v on a 98 `R` plate, in the Bournemouth and Poole area, other than vauxhall.  Thanx

[markey mark]

has to be done with a tech 2 which is vauxhall only unless you can get to theboy or marksdtm

some vauxhall specialist garages that arent actuall VX stealers also have tech2s, but MDTM and TheBoy will be the best prices

[steve carter]

Are they in this area, if not how much will vauxhall be likely to remove from my limited bank account.

VX will charge you the price of a new gearbox, theboy will charge you about £45 i think, aslong as yours is mini-facelift...? (solid headrests and steering wheel controls)

What does the software upgrade do?

[MarkG]

I paid £30 at a local Vx specialist. He told me Vx would have charged £80. Gives a super smooth gearchange on my year 2000 facelift. Worth doing

will it be possible to do the upgrade on mine, 98`R` 2L 16v.

someone with more knowledge of prefacelifts and minifacelifts will be able to tell which yours is, i think it is going off the steering wheel controls

If the last letter of VIN is W, then its flashable, if its V, then its not.

I've called around dealers asking about the upgrade (as I wanted to be cheapest), and I had quotes from £45 to £300, and an awful lot of 'not possible'

Danny - yes I did. Fine bloke
