You scum bag! :roflmao:

I had to hack loads off my wiper arm and the cap at the end. Everytime it wiped it scraped across the back window and the cap popped up! :lol:

All sorted now! :D

hows the map going.

I'm having some problems at the mo mate. Its losing boost at about 4.5k rpm, dropping back to standard boost and it is running very lean.

I've put a new MAF on and I'm gona try a new N75 valve next week. If that dont cure it I'll have to take a trip back to see Will at p-torque :shrug:

I've had some problems sorted out lately. Had the drivers door lock replaced as the microswitch that opperates the interior light and headlight buzzer was fooked, and also had a new radiator fitted as mine was loosing coolant.

I've also had a bit of a boost leek which has been getting worse lately. So at the weekend I done the N249 bypass and tightend up all the hose clips on the intercooler pipework, which seams to have sorted my boost leek out. Still not holding the boost properly though :shrug:.

Got a OMP strut brace ordered that thould be here tomorrow, so that'll go straight on. I've also got a centrer sun visor to fit when I can be @rsed :redface:

It didn't cost me anything mate as I got it done on the last day of my warranty :p

But the invoice says a total of £350 for replacing the radiator and drivers door lock for parts and labour :-o

On the invoice it says: Radiator - unit price £42.50 and then - Price £80.75 :confused:

So I aint 100% sure of the price, £42.50 or £80.75. But at a guess I'd say it was £42.50 as I'm sure they bumped up the price for the warrenty company though.

lol damo mate getting in on the last day of the warranty. I was just about ready to give u stick for not doing some of the work yourself, the re-read haha. That brice looks well nice kind of a cross between the forge ajustable and the momo seat on.

However I must say Im not sure if the full circle around the strut top might look weird the others are only on the inner 2 bolts, will have a ganders when its on and probably want something else because of you lol!

Aye Guinness, If I didn't have the warranty then I would of prop dont all the work my self.

Aint had time to fit the strut brace yet as I'm the only engineer on site to day, but once the managemant go home at tea time I'll whack it on and get the pics up to night.
