Hi Bryan

A little late to the party I see. I am one of those who did not have a good time with 123. I fitted one to my Volvo Amazon and for 6 months it was perfect but then I started to experience some problems  The car would tick over perfectly but on acceleration lacked power and appeared to have a timing problem with missing and backfiring which I finally attributed to a failing coil (or so I thought, not believing that a relatively new 123 unit could possibly be at fault) – I replaced this with no improvement and then proceeded to replace virtually everything without solving the issue. In frustration, I removed the 123 unit and replaced it with a second hand Lumenition set up that I had in the workshop. The change was all but miraculous and I have had no problems at all since. I had great difficulty with customer service at 123 and basically gave up with them. I still have the unit and I’m toying with trying it on another Amazon I have just to see whether I can make it work.

Just thought I would give you a negative to balance all the positives.
