Not really...I'd still like to get a new car sometime next year. I missed out on Will's group buy during the summer so thought I'd put my name down for this one :) It'll make the car more fun for the rest of the time that I have it

I think you need a medal for having a standard PD130 for so long! :lol:

lovely car you have there mate, took me an age to read through, should be proud of it.

The map will really help, i had mine done today and the few opportunities i had to 'test' it, it felt like an entirely new animal, you get yours done on the group buy arent you??

Thanks for the comment Phil :)

Yep I'm in the group buy too. I'm booked in this Saturday and I can't wait! I'll have about 130 miles to 'test' it on the way back, so that should be fun :D

Service Finished

I finally manage to finish my cambelt and water pump service this week. I was a bit shocked at the state of the belt. My car has not yet hit 60k, but it's over the recommended 4 years. Anyway this is the state that it was in

There is a crack over nearly all of the teeth on the belt. They're not deep but I'm so glad it's changed. It was actually quite a straight forward job to change it in the end.

A big thanks to David at Sere motors for supplying the parts at a great price :) I'd highly recommend him to anyone

Tommorow I'm off to visit Will at P-torque for him to work his magic :D Results will be posted when I get back :funk:

I should've shot up the motorway to meet you there....but dont think I'd be very welcome... :lol:

:lol:

Don't suppose you know how often the auxillary (alternator) belt needs to be done? Mine's look a bit worn!

I'm not sure how often it needs to be changed. Mine looked quite worn and It used to squeek sometimes making the car sound rubbish! Only cost £9.50 from David at Sere motors :) Really easy to change too.

Weren't you going for remapping yesterday? Or did I read it wrong? :blink:

Yep I did indeed go for a remap yesterday :D I'll update this thread tommorow when I have more time

That is true about him not being the first lol, and yeah, next year mate, but not with this 110 non pd engine, i will either be putting a PD130 lump in my car with a hybrid 150 turbo, or move to something bigger and better, ive been looking at cupra K1's :)

Altech, we want a graph, figures and video :D
