Mini-Trainer i have ventured out and been to Coventry to a very good transport Museum, Milton Keynes Gullivars land and excape very good, Northampton i have driven through when stay there for a couple of days at the out skirts of town but im sure there will be some good things to do swindon just passed on business so no fun, but i must admit we find good things to do in lots of place's when we do some researh, but i take it Northampton is not your favorite place then.

Washy was this because of this programing problems or just very difficult to reach parts as tight under the bonnet, seems amazing time for such a small amout of kit, so is the price still £1100

Mine was the first one the main workshop had done...so they took their time. They did say that it was more complex than they thought.

I am not sure about the price as I did a deal with them for all of the dealer fit bits on the car when I ordered so it was already paid for.....

Cooper Cobham charge "around" £1500 for the kit. That was in a conversation about something else that this price was mentioned so I don't have an exact price I'm afraid.

My car went in at 9am this morning and at 5pm the works kit still wasn't done. I have been asked to telephone them tomorrow.

Maybe a warning to some of those planning on travelling for the the installation.

I'm paying £1300 fitted. And it took them half a day to agree to that!

...Mad

P.S. is the engine in my loan car BMW 116 a dog? or do they have a 'running in' mode they set them to in order to prevent folks abusing none run-in cars?
