    Vauxhall to bow out of BTCC at end of the season

    http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74519 Wow, mixed feelings about this one. Part of me sad to see the last works team go, part of me glad to see the back of them, as they (along with a nameless other) a good at pushing people off the track

  3. Replacement Octavia engine in Leon 1.9TDi short of low end pull

    Due to 'cheap' maintenance a new engine was needed in my early Mk 1 Leon TDi. The ECU had originally been chipped by Superchips to give 140bhp. New engine only gives 110 bhp but an unusual torque curve which is almost straight until 4,000rpm. Obviously the ferocious low end grunt is now...
