Oh dear, I always thought my car lacked a bit of poke and James was here today to do camcovers and service, and did a live data run and he said everything looked ok (on data run) and it had decent grunt but obviously the only way to be 100% sure is to visually check the timing.

I hope this is one of Mr Wells' better jobs.

SMD, do you a deal mate. If you want your cambelt setup checked, for the sake of everyone. I will check, and if needsbe adjust, FOC, for the sake of the forum and to see if there is anything in this.

Your fuel trims etc all looked good but the only way to be certain is to strip it off!
