Default Chips

I run a Rover 75 CDTI Con Estate as my daily drive, its the one with the 2.0 BMW in, I had it chipped about 9 months ago, I use it for towing and do about 30k a year. Transformed the car took it up to about 155bhp and lots more torque. It ment you could now overtake things and it cruises all day at 90/100mph.

Only problem is being a BMW lump the indicators dont work and it cruises about 2ft from the car infront.............

They can sometimes be a little more hassle due to the ECU protocols on that model, but EvolutionChips/MSD can often overcome this I believe.
