Very nice was it a straight swop?

I take it there is no extra information provided on the Aston version over the iQ?

[tarquin]

None at all.

Ease to fit. Simply pull the top cover off towards you. Take out 2 philips screws one each side, pull the display towards you from the clips and un-clip 2 plugs. I can do the whole job in less than 3mins. You may want to record the zero odometer in your service book

Ye Hpi want to know that when you change.

Makes your car a bit different and stand out, cool

[tarquin]

Ooh my car stands out alright. Its all documented on here over 3-4 years

Nice one David. Interesting to spot the 'red line' is at 7000 rpm, mine is at 6000 rpm. What tweaks did what did Aston Martin do to the engine?

[tarquin]

None i know of. Other than its a 1.33. A couple of things of interest, you dont normally get to test this as there is usually delivery mileage on a new car but this dash was new with 0 miles on the odometer. A and B trips were also at 0 miles. Well after 150 mile I checked trip A and trip B, A was at 147 and B was at 153 so people using trip figures could be way out over 300 miles etc. New Toyota dash is in the region of £750. Whereas you can buy a new Aston one for £99.00

Hmm, I wonder if they just raised the rev limiter then?
