I thought a lot of PC fans were 5v?We used to get our 12v fans out the back of old computers, there little wonder the economies in trouble with all these kids buying this Chinese stuff.
More money than sense as my poor old Gran used to say!
Some of them were but they worked on my VeeDub?

It's not that you've said something per se but that you keep saying it ... we know, we all 'heard' it the first, second or probably 10th time
so there's no need to repeat it again ... why 'kick' him when he's down?Everyone can be wise after the fact - if it had worked would you instead be eating humble pie and congratulating him on persevering and getting it done?

How many times have I said it then as far as I know just the once and I even said it to him in the flesh when he was here.
What would your advice be then , keep asking other folks to do it who have said they can't.

Sounds like something I said awhile ago , as I said I’ve been using them for years
Never had or heard of problems BUT I have heard of many problems with remapping
Get it ordered & save your self money & headache

I'm just unsure of them .
There's one on ebay apparently for my van that plugs in to the diesel commonrail £59
But I've heard a few reports that they can cause issues with overheating etc.

Tam bite my head off if you want, but why don't you just leave it alone now you are so close to going, you never know one of these garages in morroco might just have what you need.
Oh sorry minxy , bloody hell I have just said it again.It's not that you've said something per se but that you keep saying it ... we know, we all 'heard' it the first, second or probably 10th time

Tam ive done two motorhomes and two cars wuth the boxes, never had an issue.
Last mh was a 2.2 peugeot/fird puma, sluggish from roundabouts ir on hills, after the box fitted i was turning it down from the usual 5 setting. Lots more torque.
Havent had this 3.0 fiat done long enough to say the benefits but from what i have seen it will pull in a higher gear than it did and doesnt sound laboured or have any juddering etc.

Seems to me it's a long way to Newquay and based on your experience so far they may well think they can do the re-map and then find they can't. If it were me I'd think "it is what it is" and get on the road, keeping it in the back of my mind in case an opportunity to have another go surfaces.
Uncle Lenny HB may have some good ideas when you see him, he very occasionally does. Though he is less competent on German wine

Can I just add to the winding up and say, if you wanted more power why didn't you buy a Merc?

Just drove up to Findon to use one of the revolution laundries . The steering wheel is now better but I dunno I feel this van does still want to go round in left hand circles. Not really been on any good roads though so it's hard to tell.

Is the wheel base wider?
Does it sit in the grooves in some roads or more like one wheel in one out
You might now need to increase that torsion bar by a couple of turns

I dunno... to be honest it could mostly be our shitty roads .
All I can do now is see how it is when in Europe.

I was going to try parking at Findon. I've been there with moby but not with bigger vanI'll be driving past there in half an hour to take the hound to the hills
Not the easiest place, but most laundrettes round here wouldn't be great either.

My current one is in a Renault master , I bought the van new , chip has been in since year 2 , has now been in 10 years , I’ve never heard of overheating problems , at £60 buy it , use it , if you aren’t happy for any reason unplug it , you’ve spent more than that chasing a remap
Edit I sold the one off my last MoHo to Bustup15

Very droll!I've just bought 12v ones for the plane. £6, but blown away by the £15 delivery
Tam, I had a chip express one in the van for 7yrs installed it after 1k from new finally replaced it after 60k for a remap and to be honest didn’t really notice a great deal of difference between the two. Oh by the way never had any issues with it or coresponding engine issues. I also had one on my old van which was the old 3ltr engine

Hmm so do I buy this one
Or this one
Knowing absolutely nothing about these things, just what do they do that these professional guys couldn't.
Why couldn't they have come up with these?
