Wow Wardy, how did I miss that one

Never knew you had a VXR Auto, very nice indeed

got it back in December, 7 months old with 7,000 miles. Very pleased with it.

Contacted courtney about a remap, but they said they had never heard of the auto & needed to check if the gear box would take any more power. That was afew months ago, and they never got back to me.

To be honest, still enjoying the standard 280bhp over my previous vec 3.0 CDTi 174

errr.. well Chris from VXRonline has had the 888 Remap on his 2.8 Turbo Elite Auto pushing out 305 BHP and 400 Lb/ft like mine, and his gearbox is ok (as far as I'm aware) and that was ages ago.

I've never heard any reason why the Auto gearbox wouldnt cope any less than the VXR gearbox?
