WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE, let me know if you get it sorted [-o< i would try and get a fault code aswell to fair it may give you a clue

I wouldn't jump into a cap and arm either till i know for sure, I have learnt from my own mistakes and spending money when it aint needed

350 was about what I was getting out of my V6. I also did a lot of short around town trips too.

468km is the most I've had out of ours, that was upto Lake Conniston running around and back home to Newcastle Staffs, no racing just smooth laid back enjoying the ride driving :D :wink:
Bongo no more........... ;-(
