Hi,
I've got a 550D and whilst I was at a clients yesterday the photographs went from being fine with good white balance, to having a orange cast over them all of sudden.
I cant remember pressing any buttons, the white balance is set to auto (which it always it) and every shot now seems to be...
The engine management light comes on, and the car will not run at full power. You can drive it fine, it just won't let you push it as there will be a sensor on the car telling the ECU that something is wrong.
The guy I bought it off said he has never had any issues at all with, he's a forum...
Mine keeps jumping in to limp mode since the JCW exhaust was taken off it, think its something to do with the oxygen sensor getting confused. Its going in to Mini tomorrow to be looked at, luckily it came with an extended warranty and TLC servicing pack....! Phew!
LOL, the aero kit makes them stand out definatley.
Its a great engine even as standard, nice progressive power, lovely note from the standard exhaust too... can't wait to get more out of it though!
Hi mate, yeah it was on for 11... I didn't pay that for it though!
I had seen a few more, and had a deal agreed on one in Gloucestershire but after a 2hour drive it was not as advertised. Was a similar spec to this but had clear signs of accident damage, the front end had been shunted and there...
The black rims were specc'ed from new, they are JCW webspoke 17's. Once it's got some Blisteins or Meister R's on it, some RCA's & Spacers will give it a bit more stance.
Doing my best to resist the remap, FMIC & de-cat route at the minute. The need for 250bhp in a tin can is inevitable though.
There is one on ebay at the minute for 10,250. Similar spec to mine... I drove all the way down to Gloucestershire to see last weekend and its an absolute dog. Craters of paint missing on the bonnet, signs of accident damage!
Its a shame, because it was a cracking specification
Meh! I'd maybe put up with a slightly louder exhaust it is meant releasing a few more ponies. The back box just makes it loud and gives it no benefits.
This ones a Turbo.
My old 2003 MCS (supercharged) made approx 215bhp (189WHP) with a 17% reduced charger pulley, GP intercooler and JCW plugs. They don't even need mapping for it either... impressive power for a small ammount of the queens english.
Did you live down the road from the guy who owned it before? He mentioned he was after a 182 and a lad had one near to him.
Yeah I had a few MK1 Clio's before, Hybrid, Valvers etc.. I do like the JCW exhausts, but I've been and done the whole loud exhaust thing, the standard one pops and rasps...
Picked this little beauty up yesterday, its an R56 in Astro Black loaded with options. Chuffed to bits with it, very different feel to my old modified R53.

Use one everyday for work. Still crisp and solid after 5 years use.
