The lumpy idle, could be down to it having the correct timing now. They always have a slightly lumpy idle, and in last experience tend to idle better when the timing is out.

I can't see why you'd want to lower your rev limit?

Maybe going alright, but It's advisable to have the map checked by someone Independent.

I know some dynos have atmospheric correction on them. I.e they will allow for heat producing a lower output and give a higher readout. Same for it being cold, they'll read lower than it has done. So theory then means that it'll have read 180.1 on a cold day.

Just make sure Its a garage that know the cars!

I thought I'd give it a bit of a tickle as I left the pub lol

I charge less than half that including the genuine kit. takes literally 10-15 minutes.

FLOL your worse than Me, Russ and Chip put together.

yep. providing the equipment level is the same that is.

Immobiliser cuts fuel and spark. It will not prevent it cranking.

Well if you swapped all of it with the UCH and key yes.

Ah your lucky, they normally pop out from the small end. Glad you've sorted it.

It's displaying its f1 technology there! Holding itself upside-down. Must be the cup spoiler.

Provided you've put the bearing back in the boot and replaced the clip, you should be ok. I assume you checked the driveshaft and it wasn't missing any rollers on the end? Full gearbox takes 3.1-3.4 litres depending on what box it is.

But you have dailies, I don't ;)

172 cups have different dampers but the same fitment.

No mate. Can't afford to do it with the engine that'll expire at any moment.

Timing can't be 180 degrees out. It simply wouldn't run. Chances are he out the tools in 180 degrees out. Did you see the tools he used to lock them? Were they silver or black? Did he use a tool to lock the actual pulleys? Looks like this...

You say it wasn't performing As well as it used to, sounds like the cam timing is off anyway.

We won't forget it. I will only attend the barn owl as usual. Work in tomorrow.

Bilsteins are circa £700 and are a really nice ride.

6 hours is for a complete job, cambelt aux kit oil and filter.

Look at fuel trim, lambda readings, map readings, throttle readings etc

You want to read live data rather than fault codes.

They won't remove people. Easiest option is not to log in.

yeh, but don't just start it and run it for a few minutes as that will do more damage than good. Make sure its run up for a good 30-45 minutes, get it up to temperature properly.

Keep an eye on the pressures, ideally rotate them 1/2 a turn once every month. Stops flat spots on the tyres. Or the axle stands saves that.

Of course it's a race system, it gets lighter as you go along!

Ideally put it on axle stands. Keep the weight off the tyres, deflating them won't help either.

Why not have it on a diagnostics and have it diagnosed properly rather than replacing random things?
