cartman Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Well thought i'd post my experience here, So others don't get caught.Well had a chap from "chip n spin" in Hoddesdon herts come to remap my car. Got his details off e-bay but arranged privately. Well he promised me 40bhp which had me exited, Anyway he done his thing with the laptop.On completion he told me to take it easy for the first 200 miles, So i agreed and payed him the money Quote

Guest VR6! Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Have you taken action against him via ebay? or if you have contact details? ie address/business premises take action against him via the courts! Quote
johnb80 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Have you taken action against him via ebay? or if you have contact details? ie address/business premises take action against him via the courts!Why would eBay get involved? He stated clearly he saw the info on eBay but purchased it privately :ph34r: Quote
Guest MATT jr Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 just take it as an expensive lesson that will save you from further expensive lessons in the future. an "investment" in future "investments" :blink: MJR :ph34r: Quote
seatkid Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 :blink: theres one born every minute.......take it steady for 200 miles, it may kick in magically...... Lessons in life at Quote
jwilliams Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 let me guess he wanted cash only? Thanks for the warning I was thinking of a remap myself. What is his seller id on ebay? Would a pinned section on trusted mechanics etc be a good idea? I have found an excellent garage locally who service mine and don't rip you off. Quote
