well well chaps, thanks for all the info, but i must say that a lot of it has gone right over my head 'being a bit thick and all'
but from what i can gather from most of the info is that i will be better using the emanage which i already have but not fitted yet, i just need the relevant harnesses as i havent got them!
from what i was told by this other guy who works for fords, i wouldnt need anything as he had the software to map the car from a laptop:? but obviously with so many of your comments, this cannot be the case!
so i may aswell just either buy the harnesses and pay for someone to map it properly.
or get a power fc, and have a weekend up at jims place in liverpool, and let him have a crack at it for me:-D whilst i take the missus shopping (only joking jim;-) )
