Hi and welcome..if the missus is from Notts then Donington Park is a must, only 20mins from Notts and is a nice flowing circuit..It was my local circuit and regularly had track days running in the week.

I would have done the same thing, I am sure he as had enough of the spotlight treatment from the service manager and or a right royal boll*****g with regards to how it happened, no need for a personal apology from him it is not going to get you anything else..

I guess so, I remember reading about the Rally of Mexico where the cars are running high in the mountains in hot temperatures and the cars loose something like 60bhp compared to sea level..

So to hear that mate...you should be thankful though, here they use your bumpers to push your car out of the way to make a bigger parking space if your not careful..

Just turned it on for the first time now its starting to warm up. I know it usually takes a bit of power away but ffs it felt like I had lost about 20bhp along with most of its willingness to rev..(not one the 1.4 8v strong points anyway).

The engine in the S40 at that time was a Renault engine anyway, so the same basic unit as found in the Clio but with a turbo so I would imagine probably not to bad a job to install. Only lately have Volvo started using Ford engines..
Torranzinho - Do you have any performance figures for the...
CV is the same...if Portugese is the same as Italian it means Cavalli which is just the word for horse. Pain in the a**e though as they also show alot of things in KW..completely lost with that one..

Mi piace tanto...looking good, you must have spent alot of money on sorting all of that out..and 220kmh showing on the clock that is just under 140mph. Have you done any 0-400m with it, or any 0-100kmh times..
Oh, and hello and welcome.

MPG!!! That does sound excessive but depends how you drive it aswell, there is no mention to this..
Heater could be the matrix, git of a job as it means the dash out, could be a blockage or something that only happens when you allow the water through the matrix..
I do it on downshifts...makes for a smoother change when you have it perfected and the revs match...hence why most paddle shift boxes do it themselves so you dont get thrown through the windscreen all the time..Upshifts I am not sure there is much benefit as the revs will drop for the next...
Exactly, how many Sjyline for example and highly tuned cars give a puff of smoke when changing gears at very high revs...if black it is just unburnt fuel.. I have seen a Skyline set up perfectly that after 1/2 on the track had turned that bumper about the exhaust almost black..nothing to worry...
