Thanks for the update Jonh, its a choice between this and a DTUK box. Just out of interest does the mpg gain seem genuine, I ask this as some people say the computer readings are messed up when these are fitted.

Hi 111, It's just computer reading until I use some diesel & fill up again but it is about 10% up on previous reading & considering I've been playing seems about right. Big boys & their toys! Just by the way, I lived up the A19 from you from '47 to '59 in Seaham Harbour-small world. All the best,JD.

Bought one today! Should get it tomorrow or Wed. Jeff at kingquick was a top bloke and very helpfull. Will post my views of performance & economy when fitted.

Hi 111, Yeah, got an email from Jeff this AM saying you'd bit the bullet. He seems a genuine guy & I'm certainly pleased with the two units I've used. All the best, JD.

Put it on today & what a difference, the car pulls like a train. It did drop into Limp home (said engine service urgent) at one point so stopped the car & it reset itself. when I got home I turned it down to less than half & as yet all is ok. To be honest I think I will turn it down even more tomorrow as it just feels to fast for a diesel.

I found with my Powerklick box too I needed to turn it down a fraction due to it going into the limp mode when driven hard.
Best of luck.

It scared the Cr*p out of me at first

as I thought it had broken

I now think of my S60 being a fast car since I fitted the box and I am still delighted with it. I thought the same when it went onto the limp mode.
Take care.
Jim

I've just fitted a box i bought from Jeff at kingquick. I'm really pleased with the box. service light comes on when you first fit it but once you've reset that all's good. car is very quick now. Need better brakes though.

Jeff and the team at kingquick are really great to deal with very helpfull.
