yep mate, s/c all in due time. if i can get anoter job then it will happen very soon and hopefully be a little nippy.

Ledgend Danny. I really hope you do it!! 
So a re-build really makes it almost new. Hmmm, tis interesting that.

Sounds like a great deal. If they trust you Danny, I don't mind wiring you the money, and you can get in on the buy?

After reading through the thread, I'm not 100% sure. Seems a bit daft that the stock ECU needs to be kept, I don't like that idea at all. Mech Repairs offered me the work some time ago, using a DIY loom, and never said anything about keeping the existing ECU. Wierd...

its a good idea.
id also be sceptcal of how many ecu's mech repairs have done on 3 plug 106's/saxo's. im pretty sure you HAVE to use the standard ecu to keep the electric clocks etc.. im sure alex or someone in the know will clear it up.
ive never had to find out being the superior single plug

Ha! Good work Watson. 
Yeah, after waiting a week, I emailed them, and they told me that it can take up to 28 days! And they couldn't give me an ETA until the 23rd. Then I find them this evening when I got back from work.

PM me when you are going to buy Ferg, and I'll see if I can get you a good deal like I did.
No, in a nutshell! Not happy with the RR result. See my thread in the Performance section.

Well, tis a very good question young inquisitor...
If you've seen my thread in the Performance section, you'll notice that I'm not too happy with the engine. I'm definitely doing something about it, as I can't keep things the way they currently are. I've been saying for AGES that I'm getting bodies, like many peeps, but I'm tierd of just saying it, so I think I'm just going to do it! Nike.
