Nice easy fix there! I admit that REVO does feel more urgent and aggressive than our maps, but thats the way we like it   :smiley:

Get yourself out in the rain and compare the two maps.  See which one wheel spins like crazy.  :driver:

The Revo didn't earlier. (much!)  :signLOL:

Does sound like the battery been disconnected or a fuse taken out or something causing the revo setings to go back to 0-0-0

I hear you, but I'd know about that if it had happened. It's not had a battery issue or disconnection, nothing electrical has gone wrong with it other than a bulb blowing. And it felt weedy from when I drove it out of  Storm Developments after installation.  :confused:

I'll find out from Kevin at Revo tomorrow re: settings. No engine mods other than RevD DV. Has recently had a big service with new plugs, new filters inc. Pipercross panel filter, oil change and cam follower, so all in tip-top order for remap. And always run on VPower of course!

....So do we conclude that Storm Developments weren't 'up to speed' enough to recognise that their Revo installation hadn't been completed properly? Didn't they log or test-drive your car after installing your first Revo remap?  :surprised:

I send a lot of work to storm and am very good friends with the lads there, I have had this happen before where I tuned a car with Revo, datalogged it and all was good and then it's come in a few days later with 0-0-0 settings. Odd thing is I've only had it once.

Wonder what the voltage needs to drop to before the ME9 ECU loses the ability to store the data..... (Goes off to find my ME9 tech sheets)

....Nowadays I often don't drive her for 7-10 days but then I'll go for a fun drive just to exercise her and satisfy my lust. I've never had a data loss due to this. I'm on Revo Stage 2 installed and looked after by JKM and by Revo HQ.

Revo Kev is a top bloke who knows what he's doing.
