Brute force mate - the only way I managed to remove it was to place a chisel horizontally between the cover and the ECU and prise it upwards. There's probably a better way to do it, but I was tearing my hair out at that point. Try this for a guide in case you don't have it...

I'd fully recommend Nick Hill (Hillpower) in supplying a modified inlet manifold for the 182. His knowledge on tuning is fantastic, and he is a very approachable guy. Turnaround was under a week for supply and postage. I personally would not bother with any of the other companies advertising...

Laugh away pal! I have the before and after print-outs.

The ITG Panel is definitely worth it, IMO. I purchased one for £40 through Merlin Motorsport about a year ago. I then took the car to a Rolling Road - 179bhp standard and 184 with no other mods apart from the panel. Torque was up from 148 to 155 lb/ft as well (print outs to prove it). Renault...

Spotted tonight, you just put on your Xenons and then flew past me on to the A96! I was in my crappy other car - 1.2 Clio ;) Also shortly after saw a 172 Mk1 grey on the B977...

Chris Here is the link http://brandon.frost.users.btopenworld.com/ecu.htm It's a brilliant guide - helped me immensely - although i did get really frustrated with removing the black metal panel over the ECU!!! cheers Joolz

That's a bit freaky, another Joolz with exactly the same problem as me!

Posting on behalf of a mate with a 1.2 Billabong, please help... Hi, I've got a problem with my clio!!! I came out of work a few weeks back and the two lights, Electrical Fault and Toxi Fumes, came on. The car lost all performance and I couldn't get above 20-25mph. I called the AA who came...

That really does look superb mate!

try BB Performance tuning. They do the same ECU as fastchip - great service, really recommend them. My 182 feels a fair bit quicker than it used to be :)

Don't think so, why don't you try the Fastchip one (also available through BB Performance Tuning). You could also get a remap from Nick Hill (Hillpower). All give the same results. I've got one and am well pleased with the results.

yeah i have already spoken to them mate. i think they were going to try ragging their 182 from cold - lol.

I've bought one of the fastchip 182 ECU's via BB Tuning and had a question about the rev limiter... when i had the original ECU, the 182's rev limit varied as the car heated up... so it would stop you damaging the engine I guess.. the question is, is this feature still on the fastchip ECU...

I dont think you can get a touch up pen for the alloys. Do a search though, there was a guy who had posted saying you can use Stone Grey spray paint for a Rover, its exactly the same shade as the anthracite alloys.
