Been trying to get hold off mr whippy for re-map but cant seem to get hold off him lol
RE: Newbie - MY95 - 26-10-2015
Mr Whippy is very hard to get a hold of, has a lot going on recently, id go for Jammapic in Manchester area if you want a drive in drive out service
RE: Newbie - Jimmy-hdi - 26-10-2015
Any idea how to get hold off mr whippy i.e contact number or wheres his garage based in leeds?
Thanks
RE: Newbie - MY95 - 26-10-2015
I wouldn't bother him at the moment if he hasn't replied to you, hes got a lot on his plate and hasn't done many remaps in the last year.
RE: Newbie - Jimmy-hdi - 26-10-2015
Thats fine mate...
By the way do you know how much he charged for stage one remap.. Just curious
RE: Newbie - Redordead89 - 26-10-2015
Doesn't look like he's doing remaps bud so price doesn't matter, go with one of the other mappers mentioned above or find another one!
How does the car you bought drive?
Anything to worry about?
Don't go spending all your spare cash on angel eyes and stage1 til you know the cars worth spending it on!
Get a thousand miles in it then you will know it a little better and where you need to spend to make it sweet and THEY REALLY CAN BE SWEET!
Usually they are worn out in front suspension and brakes and rear brakes tend to start binding on at this age, handbrake cables are worth doing if they look tired, all bushes on the wishbone or prefferably new wishbones ( cheaper than buying all the bushes seperate ) drop links, track rod ends and anti roll bar bushes tend to let go after years of neglect and abuse!
The rear suspension beam starts squeaking then creaking then wallet out for £300ish, See Stef205 on here if yours is Puggered!
I'm not even going to start on elecs and body but I'm sure some other threads and members will fill you in on all the joys involved in 306 ownership! Lol
RE: Newbie - MY95 - 26-10-2015
A year and a half ago when I got mine done by him when he was doing loads I went and saw him and he did it for £150 including road tests and diagnostics
Unfortunateky he doesnt really do many anymore at all now
Got for Jammapic mate, hes the 2nd most local and pretty good too
RE: Newbie - Jimmy-hdi - 27-10-2015
That's true redordead89 to be honest I've only bought this couple off days ago it's my second 306 the previous car I had was 306 and its standard only had that for couple off months but the engine is pretty load but everything else seem good on both the pugs... Soo I bought theis as a project car mate
RE: Newbie - Redordead89 - 27-10-2015
Cool as fk mate, I wish you all the wells with it! And will watch the progress as it comes but as a fairly new pug owner there's a lot to live with but so much real world real car knowledge to be gained from owning and working a 306! Anyone disagrees can sing a song of sixpence!!!
Great car in standard form and will serve you well if you look after it and even better when you rip an a4 driving twat with his pish start stop BS modern gonna fail in 7 years in a real expensive way tech into your mirror lol bliss be the 306 with a we turbo on it
