Just had the old Ford one fitted yesterday and made a huge difference. Didn't realise just how much the engine was moving until it was replaced. Hope it will last for a while but if I need to replace it again will go for the new Ford part.

Hows that working out - is it any good?

are you getting better mpg?

Not heard of it before, but if it's as good as it says on the website, would be well worth it..

I must say iv noticed a slight difference nor a huge amount to rave about tho. Might be because I had to just get the standard one in the end. But it passed it's mot so I'm happy cos I have to have a mot every 6 months, iv had 4 since owning the car and all 4 been a pass with no advisors :-D

Definitely worth it! I bought the CR Tech 1 Multi-Map diesel box one from e-bay for £79,99 "djdafish" and have it set only to 62.5% .. nevertheless the gains in both low-end and high-end torque and power are more than delighting! The car pulls like a train even in 6th gear way beyond 2000 rpm, city limits are possible in 4th, sometimes in 5th without rumbling or stalling.

As for economy .. 51 mpg! driving the way I usually drive, in winter.
Before I added this chip my best ever was 49mpg driving like an old lady just to experiment, but in real life I would get no more than 43mpg.

To sum things up .. I'm loving it!
