I had mine done at the same time as my service and I recently got 302 miles out of a full tank! Mind you, ALL the fuel bars had gone. Prior to the ECU update, I only got about 250-270 miles, if I was lucky.

Had mine updated today, noticed that it runs smoother now, will have to see how fuel goes. There were 2 other st's in at the same time.

It does'nt run well with the aircon on and air circulation. Feels underpowered and clunky. Must zap some power and cost me an extra fiver this week.

You mean it does'nt cool well? Turn on air circulation and turn the Censored to 1 click left from the top centre. Still make your car run like a dog tho.

Your driving through France? You must be mad! My boss went through france and got a taxi who drove like a nutter, knocking a cyclist off his bike. The cyclist gets on the bonnet and kicks the s**t out of the taxi. He then gets back on his bike and buggers off. After that the taxi crashes into the cylist again, knocking him off his bike and then crashes into a lorry. The police pull up and have a word with the taxi driver and sends him on his way but the lorry driver got booked Never drive in the centre of Paris unless you want your car wrecked! Itally is even worse. Did you see how they were driving when top gear went down with the super cars? They had to keep in line with eachother so they could'nt get up the side of them. Babyboom, i'm sure not everyone in France drives like that.

Have been using the aircon quite a bit this week as when i get into my car it has been baking in the sun all day long. And i can honestly say i havent noticed any significant loss of power. Maybe i just drive it like a granny
