Does anyone know on which year the facelift model started as there seems to be mixed opinions when ive looked into it.
Also what changes/improvements did the facelift model actually get?
Ill be getting it re-mapped too hopefully as ive only ever heard good things about re-mapping these. Wheres the best place to go and how much? Will it 'really' improve mpg as well as performance...???
Any info and advice appreciated. Cheers.
