i was not going to touch the map... i was simply going to send it to someone to compare to their map, coolant calibration mainly, i have no intention of altering/touching any settings.

Yup, I don't get the impression you would want to rely on your mapper though (again just on what I've read)
Have Aj on here have a look at it. He can at least check if it's unlocked or not and go from there, but even then I think you can check sensors etc.

I get the impression that if i simply went to him and asked him to unlock the ecu so i could go elsewhere to have the car looked at to find out whats happening he would not.
Which to be honest, that is fair enough, im sure its not good business to do that, but then again i have never had a car mapped before, so i dont know if locking maps is the norm.
I dont want to say anything bad about the tuner, as it might not be anything to do with the map, just getting annoyed with not getting anywhere.
It is 100% locked, im not so stupid to mistake that ( although i might sound it online by asking silly questions) simply plugged a laptop in, changed the port from serial to usb, clicked connect, and did its thing, said checking security and then popped up asking for a 6 digit pass code.
I cannot check anything, as soon as you click connect it asks for the password? unless i can click cancel on that and their is a button that says live data? i only had a spare 10minutes on my dinner break to look. But even if i can see the live data, does not help me really, i would like to data log it, and compare the coolant cal

it's your map bought and paid for the only time they have a right to lock you out is if they are sponsoring you and providing the map for free just ring him and ask for the code as AJ said very very unlikely to be a water pump the symptoms would have being there before, is the stat operating as normal

Getting car booked in for the coolant temp sensor to be tested by the tuner, he is still very convinced that it is that, he said he has not had the same problem on another honda/s2000, but has had a similar problem with a m3.
Spoke to si at hendy,and he has sorted me a price for a new one in case it comes back as faulty
i obviously don't want to be buying anything else, but i hope it is the sensor so i can finally have the car running as it should

Make sure he unlocks it and leaves it unlocked as well when you go back. Like Dave and I have said, you bought and paid for it so its your property not the property of the tuner.
If you bought the map from him without it going on the rolling road then maybe he has a right to lock it as its his map he developed in his own time but you paid for his time and rolling road to tune your car. It is specific to your car and so therefore it is your property.
Oh and what do you do IT wise? I'm the systems engineer at RAF Benson

Here is where I mounted my Mishimoto 10 row oil cooler paired with Inline Pro oil filter relocation kit. Had to have brackets made for the cooler but everything else was straight forward.
I chose this location to avoid the clutter with the intercooler then the 3 core radiator which would have been a squeeze. This location optimizes air flow through the bumper duct optional cut out.
I have not seen anyone else do it this way yet and if you have then post a darn picture!
Have you removed your pump unit, otherwise there is not enough room, nor is there enough room under drivers side.
I fitted mine in front of the condenser mounted to the central upright, all you have to do is undo the horn and turn the bracket 180 degrees.
Dont have any photos to hand sorry.

Hey I'm almost done with my HKS install and tune just a couple more weeks.
I have a Mishimoto oil cooler and Inline Pro oil filter relocation kit. I was wondering where others with oil coolers mounted their cooler unit?
Pics please.
I was thinking of on the metal bar under the passenger headlight.
