rs tuner total cost? ease of use :S

Car  L-Y Clio 197 F1
looking at options to get the car mapped and seeing as a local tuner isn't really an option unless I fancy a nice 3hr + drive then I thought I'd explore the rs tuner route. Curious to know the total cost of the kit, plus the map (+ any additional costs?). Also clueless of where to get the maps. I understand fastchip.nl sells the actual unit can't see anywhere for maps. I'm sure I've read when i was searching that someone in the trade section of the forum can supply the map? might of read wrong...

And I suppose the most important question - could a complete car novice do it without too much trouble? If its complicated I'd much rather put the car with a professional than bumf something attempting a DIY job.
 
Buy a second hand locked unit, (circa £90 ish) unlock license £85, map £42 so call that £220 give or take

Map the car

Then sell the unit on (£90)

Total cost £130 ish. Its not bad imo. I'd fully recommend it, did my 197 last winter and it improved the cold behaviour no end. Its pretty simple, you will however need a battery charger connected to the car whilst you do it as the fans kick in whilst its connected.
 
where do i get a locked unit? Gota hope one comes up for sale on ebay or something? new to all this so beyond fastchip.nl I've no idea where to source all this stuff...
 
In the forsale sections here or over on Clio197net :)

Buy the unit first, then you purchase the license and map from the fast chip website
