The right result

Now you can search for a genuine car and hopefully avoid any hassle second time around.

This is a great result for you.

Well done for the perseverance, it certainly appeared challenging at times.

Whilst not proficient like the above contributors, I got the 435dx and my friend got 335dx, both remapped, but he went for the dpf/epg delete (or whatever it is called) removal... all for the sake of a few extra HP, and for me personally, spewing much more noxious fumes into the air.

That said, it past its MOT about a month ago, and the emission particulate concentration was still under half of the max and ittle different from the car spec, and following his poor driving,, smoke never comes out. This makes me wonder if there is an underlying issue irrespective of dpf/egr removal.

He did mention his concern about a potential upcoming recall, and I pointed out they wont find anything! (Literally) They'll open the dpf, and find it empty lol
