Hi there, thought I best say hi as I have been scouting the forum over the last week trying to hunt down my new HDI estate.
After a few attempts, I have finally sourced my new car and am going to collect next weekend. Luckily I have family close enough to the car to take a look, apparently it is nice and solid, straight and true. She's got under 100K on the clock which was a big deal for me, replaced rear axle recently and FSH. Not too shabby! I am very excited.
So, enough of the rambling, here she is...

I'm going to keep her fairly standard to start and just sort out it's blemishes. Could do with either a new wing and rear bumper or some paint repairs on both and needs a new rear wiper or remove it totally and a china mirror cover on the one side, but that is about all.
Which brings me to my first question to you all, I am a noob as far as the derv's go and not really in the know how mechanically so I apologise if this question has been answered or explained a million times. Anyway, I will want to get her remapped soon(ish) and dont know where to start, getting anywhere for a remap is a difficulty to me however I understand there is a way I can do this myself? If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very grateful. Also, is there a guide somewhere to towbar removal?
Thanks, Tom.
