Sadly nothhing to compare bad fuel economy with, really, she's always been about this - about 'notch' below what the computer claims I should be doing. I seem to be at 3.0 levels of mpg, while enjoying 2.2 levels of performance!  ;D

Oval. Appreciate the offer. Have a brand new one in the box, arrived a few days ago. I got it as a spare in the long, distant future, not expecting any issue with the DIS pack for a long time!


Might be down your way this Sunday if the weathers okay for the forces weekend.
You have my number  ;)

Thanks young fellermelad  :y

We're thinking of doing soem Armed Forces bits on the Friday night, then leaving up-the-drive car jobs for Sat (with all the roads closed off, traffic a nightmare etc) then out and about watch some more Armed Forces Day celebrations on the Sunday.


WIll be looking into all aspects, the ignition but also the CTS, sounds like this could be the winner  :y

Live data will confirm the CTS function... ecu temp should be broadly similar to what the gauge is saying :y

Re performance, are the multirams working as advertised :-\

Front, yes, just over 3k, rears, after a quick, hefty blip the rear did move some, too. But I do think there's a flat spot - or specifically a slight 'surge' in power over 4k when giving it the Heinz.

One of my thoughts is that if the top hat seal is knackered, this would be weeping air from one side to the other, surely. There does seem to be a fair appreciable 'woosh' when you hold your ear to the plenum. I think it's louder than it was a year ago, but not easy to tell, as you can image.

Have you still not fixed that?
