Guy's,

As it looks like this is going to be quite a long day and most of us have a fair way to drive home, anyone going to go get a bite to eat before hitting the road?

im having a few problems with an oil leak from one of my intercoolers and would someone be kind enough to do a pressure test and would there be any objections for me turning up and just having the test done?

Jeez! You must've really "tied one on" then Dave - good work! :thumb:

Back on topic - Being an RR 'virgin' myself what's the MO when your car goes on the rollers: Does the owner sit in the car and do the dyno run .... or does an RR operator sit in the car and do it (for H&S/insurance puposes or somesuch nonsense)???

The dyno operator will be in your car (driving). Normally operating some controls from the dyno through the door window. All you need do is ensure your aircon is off (your will of course be!) and watch. Unless your car is loud the fans normally drown out the sound, so all you can do is wait for the numbers.......

The r/r operator sits in the car , the dyno i use has a projector that lets every one see the what the car is running .Thorny has a dyno cell , i don't think you even get to watch the car .
