does traction control fall into the esc category as the traction control doesnt work at all on my car so the bulb has been removed as it stays on all the time ?

Is ABS bulb removed as well?

no just the tc bulb the abs light comes on and goes off as it should

General Car Chat / whats happened to my mpg

« on: 12 April 2013, 21:54:58 »

what going on with my mpg when i first got my 3.2 manual estate it had a lsd fitted and i was getting around 26 mpg when the lsd died i fitted a 2.5 diesel diff and was getting 28/29 mpg then the rear box went rotten so the boy racer came out in me and i had straight through pipes fitted and it dropped to around 27 ish i have now replaced the whole system with one of the ones like eternalcar supply from Poland and it has dropped to 25 mpg ? i did have the eml light come on ages ago before the exhaust back box failed and we came to the conclusion it was the common pre cat fault . i gave the car a drink of super unleaded and some injector cleaner and the light has been off ever since ?

« on: 12 April 2013, 09:53:22 »

i am looking at buying a new pair of 3.0 down pipes and cats for my 3.2 estate but all the online suppliers are saying that they cant sell them with out a valid vrm for legal reasons as any vehicle registered after a certain date must have a type approved part fitted ?
