ok...........forgive me for being silly here but....... the 1.2 16vs.......... they are showing 72bhp AT THE WHEELS?????? Am i right in thinking these are specified as 75bhp at the FLYWHEEL as standard? Hence the mods that Bambam and Fred have done have made a BIG difference??? Sorry, my RR...

my 1.2 16v ticks ticks ticks lol.............but i got no yellow gunk, and it runs well enough.......i cant complain at her really! Just treated her to some new Toyo shoes, so if she behaves she can get them fitted sooner!!!! The tappet noise is a bit annoying tho for a new car! Hmmmmmmm...

i rung up about that free 6K miles checkup and was told, didnt the sales man tell you, if you bought your car this year it doesnt need it...... lol! I had an oil change when it went in to get a new sump gasket anyway, as it was seeping oil.
