If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been running that map? How many years/months and how many miles? what are the figures/results like and have you experienced any problems with the gearbox?

Just when testdriving my car a couple weeks ago I noticed the unfamiliar whining noise, and of course it was the dreaded M32.. This was at 20k miles but the dealer had a brand new gearbox from Vauxhall fitted and supposedly its a newer superlative gearbox, wether that's true or not I don't know, if anyone would like to confirm if the newer boxes come fitted with uprated bearings that would be great thanks!

But yeah I would like to hope a map/chip wouldn't run me a much higher risk of destroying my gearbox, at least I would hope to get way more than 20k miles out of it!
