I spoke to Karl, as i would like it up and running and i know he can do it very quickly as obivously (unlike me as im not used to tuning cossie engines) he has base maps sat there to work from, so would have it close without even starting to tune it, but he doesnt want to map it and then leave the map unlocked for me to edit in the future, so its no use to me as obviously i want to continue to map it myself as i make changes not have to keep going back to Karl cause he has locked the map.

I fully understand why he wants to "maintain the copyright" but it means that sadly i cant get him to get the ball rolling for me like i would have liked to

Shame, cause im sure he would do a good job if he had been prepared to, and im quite happy to pay 300 quid if it gets the car on the road a few weeks sooner!
