Remap on high mileage?
S2 Ant:
Although you raise concern about the clutch, keep in mind the extra power you have is only there if you're trying to use it... if you dont drive around in general like you stole it and with your foot on the floor then generally speaking it shouldnt cause you any problems. If you decide after the remap you're gonna accelerate from near idle revs in 6th with your foot flat down then you'll probably run in to problems quite quickly.
Also as stated, as long as the car has been well serviced - and being an ex lease car this will have been the case - then you shouldnt have any worries really.

IMO If you have high miles and the car is on its ori turbo and clutch then budget for a new turbo or clutch soon after a remap. No matter how good the mapping is if the turbo / clutch are on there last legs just adding 100mb more boost could finished them off. 90% of the time there is never no issues and the cars go on happy for 10,000s of miles but there is that 10% which are on there last legs and there is no real way of knowing whats going to happen until you start to tune it.

It makes sense dude.
Its what I tell all my customers, there is no way of knowing if parts are upto the job or not so give them worse case out come. Its easy to say you will be fine and have no issues and take 290quid off you... but I like to sleep well at night lol
