Is there any way of knowing if the car has a map on it without doing a dyno-run? Compared to my other J this one seems to be faster.

Exactly the same, ive had that fiat 500 L and a couple of new corsa's. I know that I haven't had an Astra for a couple of weeks but it definitely accelerates a heck of a lot faster. My mate couldn't keep up with me where he used to be able to on the other J

I was going to say maybe it's just because you've not driven it for a while but seeing as there's another factor, maybe it's been tinkered with by the previous owner. I know mine had.

I've not had the v5 yet with his details, but will certainly send a letter when I get it

@Rusty2009 my car spits out white smoke when the turbo kicks in. Not a lot but it's visible, is that a sign of a remap?

Hmm may just be steam but I assumed smoke with it being a diesel.
