As per title, my rears have sprung a leak. Will definitely need to replace shocks and possibly central control valves.

Thankyou

So I have had a second opinion on the turbo, which has pretty much confirmed the original report. Being that the warranty company are adamant that this excessive wear to the wastegate bushing is ‘normal wear and tear’ they are flat out refusing to play ball. I have even tried asking if they are will...

I will investigate when the car heads off in the new year

Front bud.

Yeah it’s just delivering that information in a warranty friendly manner which will be the issue..

Sorry didn’t mean the xx just watched the rugby!

Perfect, Thankyou. Have an inkling there is a loom and grommet situation in the A pillar that maybe a culprit? Xx

Just had the second report back on the turbo, With regards to the above turbocharger. On inspection we have found that the wastegate arm bush is excessively worn and requires re-bushing. The turbocharger also needs rebuilding with new bearings & seals. This will come with a 2 year unlimited mileage ...

Any ideas where it’s likely to be coming from? I’ve cleared both scuttle drain off points that terminate in the wheel arch. Both were blocked with road grit, but still getting damp in there?!
Had a lovely crop of cress growing at one point!

Ha ha they soon learn not to jump up on the dog guard mind!! Just a quick one re IC’s. What’s the benefit of the uprated units? From what I read the overall volume of OEM and aftermarket a pretty similar. Are the a/m cores more efficient/free flowing or is it more about robust end tanks to hold incr...

I'd have expected more than 800hp for all that work though. Pretty sure 800hp comes up with an exhaust and remap alone. Yeah pretty sure the stock turbos will do over 800hp and the stock block is good for 1000hp. I think the issue is the torque figure and gearbox. I’m looking for something that’s s...

You can deal with warranty companies and get them to do what their Ts & Cs say but you have to be very patient, stubborn, pragmatic, iron-willed and stoic of their effect upon you. I've done it. I wouldn't do it again. I now run a slushfund. Unfortunately I possess very few of those qualities!! 🙈 I...
