Your car will be all the better for all the goodies you have bought recently Neil, but on a daily basis the pedal box transforms it and is a must have IMO.

A very Happy New Year to you Neil.  :smiley:

Lol that's what I'm aiming for as said it's just the throttle delay issue

A happy new year to you too Becky all the best for 17  :cool:

Swore, and felt ill when I touched a wall with the passenger side of it  on Friday night, and heard the metal "flex"  :sick: :cry: Managed to get it away from wall, carefully.... Too tired to do anything saturday but had a good look Sunday before driving home and I didn't see any obvious damage, other than a teeny weeny scratch on the mirror plastic, which can be sorted with T-CUT, so I think I got off lightly. 

No dent or rub marks.  Thats what I get for pulling out a narrow entry that is at a funny angle at a place I didnt know, at night while tired.  Bonus was that my dad has also got a black car so borrowed his T-Cut lol. will get it washed and touched up during the week.

Otherwise driving and enjoying.  My OBD 11 dongle was waiting for me when I got home.

Very creative Neil, amazing what you can do with a sharp knife! Hope you didn't do the trimming in a hic hic moment, consequences could have been messy and painful, lol.

Badgeskins stickers look nice, a good simple solution I think.

If your service is due very soon, I wait to fit the pedal box.  If not, get it in and just switch off for the service.   I just switched mine off when it went in for 1st service, and chucked a microfibre cloth over the control unit in the driver's storage cubby.  Unsurprisingly they never noticed it.
