Yes mate ,ex stobart truck with a solo spec cab interior
Truck is coming up on 7 years old but is still quite fresh inside and out, the crane was fitted new 3 years ago
I’m the only one that drives it so keeping it tidy is’nt too difficult.
It came to us as a 420 but after a couple of months we got it remapped to 500 ,what a difference!!!
I’m happy cos of the extra power , bosses happy with the better mpg .
Altogether a good result…

From 420 to 500 is a serious jump alfaman, any problems so far. If you were pulling big weight the engine might over do itself. 480 is what they normally remap to is’nt it■■?

No problems so far.
When we got it done we were told to clean or replace the air filter on a regular basis, we’ve done that and so far so good.
When we first enquired we were offered 3 power options 470,500 or 580. but were advised that the best option for beter mpg was the 500 option and this has proved to be true.
What i will say is that we were abit cautious because we had heard some horror stories , but the company we used came with a good recomendation , they were’nt cheap but were professional and ok to deal with.
