Does anyone on here (Doggy?) who has successfully de-FAPed help out other owners to do the same?

Was hoping someone on here might have invested in the kit - rather than me looking to buy it all the bits and risking it, would rather give someone some cash and use a tested method.

AMD near me offered it but wanted half the value of the car to do so.

Hi & Welcome to the site.

Have you read this?....viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12487

Whereabouts do you live?

Did indeed read that, it was what inspired me to do it - when I started this thread I could not PM people, else would have gone straight to yourself. I just don't have an ecu flashing tool and would much rather use the same files and kit which have been used successfully before.

I am also not sure how long I will keep the 406. The car is an ideal compromise to tow my Saxo race car around, mainly because I have not got B+E entitlement on my license so stuck with sub 3.5t gross. With the low allowable nose weight of the 406, and having a lightweight trailer, it's not the most confidence inspiring setup - planning on doing my B+E test in the summer and going to something more appropriate next year. That all said the 406 estate swallowed 4 x wheels and tyres, 3 boxes of spares, jack, stands, 2 of the 150 piece Halfords sets, another box of tools, 2x40 litre jerry cans, and still had room for me and a passenger. Best of all with 2 of us in, a full tank of fuel, all the kit plus towing 1250kg, it still pulled up every hill and returned 35MPG.

I'm in Brentwood in Essex by the way, willing to travel - in fact for the price AMD quoted I could travel to Scotland and back for a remap and it would still be cheaper.
