Xpower upgrade reduced to 55 plus vat really ?

[ukmastiff]

I think we agree there and i have pointed it out to him and politely given my regards.
Its certainly not my wish to be arguing with anyone im here for quite the opposite but we are not all ' in the trade' and to un uninitiated customer an unlock licence and sticker is one thing but an upgrade really is an upgrade.
Thanks for seeing my point.

I see your point as it is misleading and needs clarification. Were you thinking of having it done via the disk and thought you have found a bargain.

[ukmastiff]

I knew nothing of any disk. The post said get it from an xpart garage , i mailed one and was a little miffed to be quoted 168 pounds

I wont bore you with why but im fairly tech savvy and as soon as disc and unlock key were mentioned i of course realised exactly what is being done here.

I am used to pay a fixed price and a chap remaps your car , no unlock keys or discs
But i realise the xpower 'unlock' is another matter.
Like i said it matters not all is now clear and i'd al.ost certainly take a different route

Hi,
Sorry for any confusion.
I have asked a mod to edit that post to say " Please note - This does not include programming. Please check with your local dealer as labour rates may vary"

If you advertised something for 66 pounds that you couldnt use unless you paid 168 then trading standards woukd be knocking on your door wouldnt tbey, i find it a little irritating tbh

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is?

If ECP sell you brake discs for £100, would you complain you then have to go and pay someone to fit them?

You don't need a special tool to fit the brakes though! You do with the official upgrade.

Re the above poster lets not get silly here

Brake pads are a spare part an ecu upgrade is a very different matter as we all know.
Lets put it this way if I pay for a 24000 mile service I dont expect them to dump air oil and filter on my doorstep and ask me to do the installation , does that make the stance any clearer

All has been put right and no one has been injured

Xpart sell parts, they don't sell garage labour. The dealer network are independent garages. It you take your car for a service they quote for parts and labour, it just the same when you ask the independent garage to do an xpart upgrade, the quote you the labour cost plus parts required to do the job. Xpart will also sell you the part direct to you so that you can arrange fitment if that is the route you want to follow.
