I ocouldn't justify 200 quid. My wife would kill me in my current state of broke-ass-ness. :)

Kev are you able to make a video of what it sounds like when being driven. There seems to be plenty of videos when stood still.

Never got round to doing a video and now removed it!
It's kit noisy when driving but there's an air noise low down the revs until about 2000rpm
It sounds quite good but after all my hassle with Sedox and trying to make my car ultra quiet this defeats the object.
Also with having to pay for another map I've ended up paying near £800 on car parts this month which is stupid, especially on the car I wasn't going to do anything to.

Me too :(

I noticed something today I wasn't happy with.

On a cold start, the engine seems to shake like mad. Had the bonnet open so thought I'd have a paranoid look and listen after Kev's events.

Tried to take a video but the iPhone can't record enough FPS to show the vibration :)

Something to mine used to do.
Cold start then drive about 1/2 mile then when sitting at traffic lights it used to start to stutter like it was going to stall!
If revved it would clear until it idled again for a bit.
Doesn't do any of this now.
Dave at Sedox told me head office would make a decision about any refund within 2 days!
Now over a week and nothing.

I've not got any other strange things at all. Wouldn't never have known about this if I didn't happen to have the bonnet open.

Jarre does your engine shake a lot on cold start idle?
It's not particularly drastic or anything, I mean it is a diesel in the end, just paranoid now is all

Not that I can recall mate, no. I'm away at the minute otherwise I'd go have a listen to it. I'll have a check when I'm back though :)
