Me and my lad are definitely coming down from Liverpool.
Think this will be instead of Oulton for the BTCC.
We’ve Le Mans a couple of weeks before too. Think the wife might have something to say if we were out all of June.
That be me , been using it a while and this https://www.hydra-int.com/ehn-99.html , price has jumped but it goes along way due to Dosage and you can mix it with DPB-100 and a cheaper option and just buying this https://www.hydra-int.com/maximus-diesel-power-booster.html .. you really need to get the car up to temp and a good run as heat is the key for an additive and make sure the air filter is not skimped on service as that don't help and you need air flow due to the EGR system, also if the oil feed was failing the turbo wont last long as you'll get the good old thrust bearing siren noiseOnly an hour and a bit from me, which makes a change from all these northerners having all the fun.
I keep forgetting to say thanks to whoever put me onto the Hydra DPB-100 diesel additive. Even with the first dose, the engine starts much more cleanly without the smoky exhaust. Engine still feels a bit 'choked' and I've got to rev it a bit when I start it up for it to rev freely, but it's not a daily, so it might take some time for that to work. Needs a service anyway, so will have to see if that makes a difference.
Was thinking about the garage saying my turbo might be on the way out when I took it for its MoT, but given the turbo in the Leon doesn't spool unless the engine is under load, I'm not sure that's actually the case. I'll make sure the oil feed is healthy and might finally clean the intake manifold when it's warmer. How many times have I said that in the past five years though and not done it? It's as bad as telling the missus I'm going to lose 10kg...

Thought I would share a bit of MK1 Porn from Cadwell Park track day today, there was a New Lotus in Yellow there and have to say the MK1 Looked so much better.
Looks well indeed the lines and shape of these in my opinion were well ahead of its time and those around it.
I tried to find a yellow one. Then I saw my one, and just love the colour
I agree, the shadow grey (I believe that is name of the color?) and yellow are the best colors for the 1M. I learned a lot from my 1M 
The 18"Cupra R Ronal wheels have a timeless design.
With 18" ultraleggeras

mines is the platinum grey, love the colour, doesnt seem as bad for laquer peel in this colour compared to the red and yellow colours?
Red & yellow were the usual suspects for the lacquer peel indeed and discolouration due to the quality of the paint
mines red and the bonnet and rear bumper was going like a white i think it was the Lacquer but i it buffed out ok when i first got the Fr never had the peel effect though
Nice! How do you line up the rear badges? I debadged mine a while ago and I was thinking of doing something similar to yours
This was not actually my MK1 thankfully, but Mk5 Ibiza (they're not sociable on that platform 
) Had a young girl drive straight into the back of me in traffic yesterday. She'd not long passed her test, so in a state. Luckily she hasn't damaged the integrity of the car, but got some cracked paint, number plate & scuffs. I told her not to worry about it, assuring her I can fix it up for £30. She was very relieved, but the driver behind her wanted to shop her for dangerous driving.
Oddly, the time I actually have a keen witness, it's the time I don't need to even go through insurance. He was shitty towards her, so I assured her there would be no further action & not to worry.
I need to perfect my rattle can skills now

Sorry to hear about the accident mate. That was nice of you to let her off with it. Hopefully you can repair it without too much hassle.This was not actually my MK1 thankfully, but Mk5 Ibiza (they're not sociable on that platform

I had a really hot indian girl drive into the back of mine on a roundabout a couple of years ago. Gave it a proper bump, but amazingly did zero damage, not even a mark on the paint. I think the fact that i'd just dipped the clutch to put her into gear allowed the impact to push the car fwd rather than damage it. Tried to get her number, but turned out she was married haha.
