Thank you again
« on: 04 February 2015, 22:53:09 »
This time specifically to Marks DTM Calib, how gave up his evening to fit new springs to the front of the Battlebus. In a under 90mins :o

I tell you what, it drives a damn site better than it ever has.  OK, its still as flat as a pancake, but it drives quite nicely, predictably, and no rattles which I don't understand.  And the knocking over bumps has gone :)

Cheers Mr DTM, much appreciated.  Lets see if my grumpy MOTer is happy now :)

Yeah, bit too scared to touch it before end of March in case I break it. After March, the pressure is off ;)

It didn't half use some fuel on the way home last night...   ...it was reading just under half a tank when I leave yours, flashing fuel light when I got home  :-[

Probably easier to just fix the one that's in there.  That said, not sure the top quality tyres could handle much more power ;D

No point, the 1.9 has as much torque and is easily tuned to way beyond what the 3.0 can produce even when chipped.

True but a four banger will never sound the same as a creamy V6 8)

Creamy? It's still a skeleton masturbating in a biscuit tin diesel. ;)
