 some vauxhall specialist garages that arent actuall VX stealers also have tech2s, but MDTM and TheBoy will be the best prices :y
- 
				Are they in this area, if not how much will vauxhall be likely to remove from my limited bank account.
			
- 
				VX will charge you the price of a new gearbox, theboy will charge you about £45 i think, aslong as yours is mini-facelift...? (solid headrests and steering wheel controls)
			
- 
				What does the software upgrade do?
			
- 
				I paid £30 at a local Vx specialist. He told me Vx would have charged £80. Gives a super smooth gearchange on my year 2000 facelift. Worth doing

				will it be possible to do the upgrade on mine, 98`R` 2L 16v.

 someone with more knowledge of prefacelifts and minifacelifts will be able to tell which yours is, i think it is going off the steering wheel controls

				If the last letter of VIN is W, then its flashable, if its V, then its not.
 
 I've called around dealers asking about the upgrade (as I wanted to be cheapest), and I had quotes from £45 to £300, and an awful lot of 'not possible'
