Glad you got back ok, did you mange to find Skipton ok ?.

Cheers mate, yes i got myself back onto the M6 no problem at all, bit of a slow road though, a lot of traffic and a lot of wee villages down to 30mph limit. 
Its been a long day, a bit stressfull with the anxiety of hoping the car would be ok and everything would go ok and the early rise.......not to mention the lack of sleep last night  :grin:

Cant even get the car into the garage yet, it needs a full week to cure with that new floor paint, so friday at soonest !

Tomorrow, i get to wash it, bluefin it and take it onto roads i know very well  :evilgrin:
Its always when you are washing a new car that you find things you never saw before....hopefully nothing sinister  :smiley:

Today was the first time i had seen it.  picked up on a couple of imperfections on the car that he had not mentioned to me on the phone and managed to knock down our agreed price by a further £750 which was a real bonus  :smiley: .......and before anyone says it,  no, it is not extra money to throw at modifications.......Yet  :grin:

Congrats! :driver:

What sort of imperfections?

Two of the wheels have slight kerb marks (he told me only one had) , He has 50% tints on the front side windows and the drivers one has started peeling away at the top, (might just take off the front tints altogether) . Steering wheel is not dead center when driving in a straight line, will need aligned.
Apart from that, car is in fantastic condition.

Off out to get the bluefin in and get it washed  :driver:

Got the bluefin installed this morning and have given the car a good road test, the car is noticably quicker to get up to speed and overtaking is a lot easier too.  It is not as aggressive as i thought it was going to be, the car almost holds back a bit then just after 4000 revs there is a noticable surge of power, i thought it would surge straight from 3000 revs but it doesnt  :confused:
Has anyone else here got the bluefin in thier ed30 and is this normal ???
I am thinking about returning it to standard then getting the revo trial to see if it is any different.

..........or may have the wrong map, dsg version and manual maps are different. You should have more power at 3000 and not 4000rpm. Sounds like somethings a miss.

Give superchips a ring to get them to confirm your map to handset serial number  :happy2:

yep i would say something amiss too, just been for another drive and i would say it is a bit toothless up until 4500 revs then it pulls hard.
If the d/v was burst dont think i would get the hard pull at 4500 rev onwards would i ??
Im away to give sc a ring.

On the Ed30 to check the DV is very simple and probably worth doing anyway.
