Someone has crashed their Mk1 in a ditch at the side of the A158 East of Lincoln.

Someone else has nicked the tail lights since it's been sat there. :censored:

Replaced the radiator which took the best part of 8 hours and then a few days later removed 20 litres of petrol that the GF put in the TDI 150. Luckily I own a pella pump so I was able to lift the fuel pump from the back seat and suck all the petrol out from there, filled with diesel, removed fuel filter, primed pump several times to pump diesel through, new fuel filter, sorted!

HaHa, I tried a plug-in tuning box for my Diesel VRs from a company that looked reputable and sounded knowledgeable at a car fair, I even went to their company premises and they seemed ok, did some before and after runs and made no difference, didn't even feel any different. Told them as much and they refunded my money.

Did help me out though as needed a remap on my car to meet the carryover modified insurance I had a month left to run, when I replaced my tuned Audi A4 TDi for it.


On topic note, did the 'Track Obsession' Power 2 Weight shootout today and came away V.happy although was nether gonna win any prizes as some serious money turned up.

As it stands my Leon has a 49.5%/50.5% cross weight distribution and is approximately at 230bhp/ton. Was hoping for over 200 bhp/ton, so very happy. Next goal 250bhp /ton :D

This isn't a cheap plug in mate, this is integrated engineering development home flash kit. Remap at home. Not for us but gives a great insight into what will come or could have come years back with the right investment.

Fair enough, I have heard of people having their cars mapped in one country by a reputable tuner in another country over the 'Internet' / 4G on a mobile phone (Subaru's not Seat's though).

Proof is normally in the pudding, if people have good experience with something, like what was linked to, then they deserve the reputation and will probably get more business from it in time.
