My LF article on x/flow to Zetec conversion here. This will give you an idea of what's involved

Thanks so much for the link. It was a great read and puts a lot into perspective. In my case however, if/when I upgrade I think I'll simply swap cars to one that's already done. That said, I'm off to the rolling road and expertise of Dave Griffiths at Interpro in South Gloucestershire in late April and I'll see what he says. And at the moment I'm having so much fun in the 7 that she'll probably stay as is for this year at least, excepting a little fettling by Dave.

The one thing that comes across in your article however that I've noticed immediately on joining the club is what a mine of information there is on here and how forthcoming everyone is. I've even met a neighbour who has a 7 (R300 Superlight) and though we've lived close by for nine years I didn't have a clue.

Thanks again and I hope you're still getting enjoyment from your 7.
