Ok EGR chip removed, oil back to max.
Agritune box has been fitted about 2 weeks, only takes 5 mins to fit, just a couple of plugs.
Got mine on ECO setting, but gives mild extra power, getting better fuel economy around town.
Fitted the Eagle 4x4 Tailgate remote locking kit today, takes about an hr.

So now you have a loud clunk coming from the back every time you hit the remote.....

I have a tailgate that remote locks, and a canopy that locks with the key.

That's what I mean, you can clearly hear the tailgate locking & opening.

Yes, this is the first truck out of the 3 that i've had, that didn't have the kit already fitted.

MOT this morning, passed with flying colours.
Well happy, looks like I may have a slight leak starting on the steering rack.

Front pads were checked and cleaned last week, about 5mm left on them.
There was a slight warping of the discs on the rollers when it was MOTd.
So I ordered these, good price, Tam has just fitted the same to his
M Tec grooved and drilled discs with Mintex pads. £89.99

Hi George,
They are fantastic mate, really can feel the stopping power now.
Way better than standard, best £90 I have ever spent.
