Don't just chuck a litre in, it'll probably end up being over filled. Over full, is probably just as bad as under! To be fair, I would leave it. It looks about 1/4 above the min mark to me.

As above, as long as it's above min don't worry about it!

So, follow on from post #87 - The wierd boost/power delivery issue A couple of weekends ago, after having a play with a Focus RS (the guy WASN'T happy :-)) all of a sudden - boom. Loss of power and warning message on screen 'Reduced engine performance'. limped it into a layby on dual carridgway...

ThomasBrentnall You can just call in at Shop n shine, he has a unit in Heanor, It takes a bit of finding but you'll get there. One bloke (Dom) and his Mrs. Only has a small amount of stock, but seemed a knowledgable chap. I had a foam lance, snow foam and some other bits a few weeks ago.

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC Hmm, fair enough. Was just a laugh, not anything serious!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC We don't, I just want he lolvo to be 'best' at something!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC What sort of power is your Megane running? I'll have to go for the quietest car instead then!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC What's my chances of highest torque figure on the day (i'm not expecting highest HP)? Are there any big power Clio's on the list so far?

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC I bloody hope so - i'm running a Lolvo!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC Yep, count me in. Got a couple of mates who might want to run too. Chris

its not aimed at being an Astra VXR or Focus RS beater, that's what the megane is for!

I think £3-400 is common place for a remap. My remap on the Volvo was £419, however I did gain 70+bhp and 90lb-ft torque, so felt worth it. I think if I spent that kind of money for better drivability and 2bhp i'd be annoyed! (1*2 owers!) however on the DCI you should get good results

Whatever it is, you need to figure it our before driving too much more in case it's serious!

Have you been to the new place @ Heanor? http://www.shopnshine.co.uk/ He's been running a few years but recently set up in a new unit.

I use a cheap Silverline rotary from GeeJays (local shop, you've probably heard of it) Yes, you have to be more careful with a rotary, but it gives good results.

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC I'm in, any date. It's only just up the road for me. I want to see 300bhp and 350lb-ft next time I run so end June would be better (gives me time to get exhaust and intake sorted) Chris

Get another one sorted ThomasBrentnall I want to get mine on again!

Lol, I can't beleive that i'm now getting better MPG in my new car. More weight (only just), 60% more power & an extra cylinder and i'm still consistantly getting hight MPG than my 197 ever did! lol I even saw 40mpg at the weekend over a 60 mile journey!

If your Dyson wasn't much good on hard floors, I think it must be broken. We've got a DC40 in the house and a really old (10+ year old) dyson in the garage (for hoovering the garage and the cars) and both are great. Of course the more modern DC40 has better suction and is much lighter and more...

The gearbox oil should be fine, that's what I used to run in my 197. Chris

It's warmer outside, so it will warm up quicker!

I didn't think you needed the breathalyser anymore, the new 'law' was scrapped/postponed wasn't it?

problem with pivoting it is that it limits the columns to 256, so if the data is daily 6 years is too many. Not seen the data though, so it's possible to just pivot if few enough dates are involved. You can then use the combine option in the pivot to combine at year level. probably just...

Only if they are plotted on the same scale though, which that doesn't appear to have been.

I can probably read the codes for you. Don't have clip but have a wifi obd2 reader and dashcommand iPhone app. Where abouts are you from?

Did you damage the other car? If they are claiming off you for the damage to there car you may as well get yours done too. You're going to end up with a claim against you either way. I'd let insurance handle it personally.

T5?

I'm tempted to buy an 850 just to make a replica. There's a full set of BTCC decals for sale on swedespeed!

What's the situation? We have insurance specialists on the site, if you explain what's going on they may be able to offer advice. Chris

What's the issue witht eh Insurance company? Are you trying to make a claim that they are refusing?
