Hi Simon - In fact my timing *does* cause it to pink when I am touring in a hillier region than where I live, so I either back off a tad, change down, or even apply *more* throttle which reduces the

It only sounds strange because I have only ever seen statements that it makes *no* difference. In theory if driving in 4th gives 'x' better mpg than driving in 3rd, then driving in an OD gear (LH-typ

Depends on the chip. You can get chips that do significantly increase power, but at the expense of reduced reliability and longevity. OTOH you can get intermediate chips that sacrifice little in the

I'm not aware that the factory put *trim* codes on the VIN/chassis plate, although in the last year of production they did put a three-letter code for body colour on RHD cars. However 'AAA' isn't one
