  • Sorry Smithy, read your post wrong. I thought you had a TVan, which is what I bought. Door problem seems to be the same. Patroits look good. Hope to see you camped out some time on the road. I am on the TVan Forum, though... Phil

      Yes - Momentum 4x4 in Wauchope. They just programmed the EGR to close, so no blanking plate required. The guys there advised against using a blanking plate as it increases the risk of error codes (not sure why this is, but they said I didn't need it anyway). Its all had a good flush, and is running very nicely. I've only done about 1,500km since the work was done a month ago, but very happy.

      Cost $1,550 to get done, which is comparable with a DP Chip, and less than a Steinbauer, with added benefits that these chips simply can't accommodate.
      Did they give it all a clean for you as part of the $1550? How long did it take for them to do the ECU re-map? I think a road trip down the coast may be in order...

        The clean was an extra $100. They usually want the vehicle overnight, as they send the file off to the UK in the arvo, where it is tweaked, per owners' requirements and sent back to Australia while we sleep. I had a courtesy vehicle for the night so I wasn't stranded or inconvenienced, and I believe there is a Quantum dealer in Coffs Harbour who is affiliated with these guys also.

        Everything was tested pre and post reflash, and I have not had any problems. My main motivation to get this done was to get better performance out of the old girl without jeopardising engine life, and to help with towing through the Simpson desert next year.

        There is definitely a bit more power up the sleeve now, but I wouldn't say it is an extreme improvement, although the turbo lag has almost completely gone, which is great.

        • Just as an update to the ECU remap, after towing through the French Line in the Simpson Desert recently, I am very pleased with the performance coming from the old girl! We had plenty of power to get us through with minimal difficulty. I also had a new Exedy Safari Tough clutch installed before the trip, as a little extra insurance.

            • Thanks Vaughan. Was certainly a memorable adventure for the whole family. It was a great test for the camper too, and everything went superbly.

              If you ever come up the east, make sure you stop in at Port Macquarie.

              • It's been a while since I have checked in. Getting ready to do a road trip with the wife (no kids this time). We had planned to do Cape York, and I purchased a new rooftop tent for the purpose, but plans have changed and our convoy partner has pulled out, so we're taking a different route now, but will still utilise the new RTT and go back to basics for 3 weeks.




                The tent is an AluClam Black Series tent, and bolted directly onto the ARB Roof mount kit I had for the old Roof cage. Fist very snugly, and seems well made.

                I'll post some trip shots in a month's time, when we get back.
