...sulking 'cos the wife kerbed an alloy and then whilst washing the nozzle flew off the jet washer and planted a nice dent into a passenger door.

Now that's bad luck, I thought I was unlucky with a cracked screen and a puncture to the rear.

BTW according to my mate who did the rear tyre, they are absolute ba$tard$ to put on so watch the alloy's should you need to get one repaired or replaced.

Honestly, I wanted to cry when the jet washer nozzle launched.

Mmm, that doesn't surprise me. They alloy has a very square edge and the tyre doesn't sit flush against it, so there's a fair gap which would be easy for the tyre guys to damage.

C@@t in a bus ran me off the road this morning, 2 lanes his had an obstruction so he just went for me ...

Abs works anyway ...

In the last few days it suddenly developed low down grunt like my old car weeeeeeeee 800 miles and 50 hours on the engine now

Such a difference to when it was new

What a ba5tard....

Hope you get it sorted.

I'm on nights this week, so not much doing, hopefully give the car a wash this weekend as it's looking grubby..

Gave it some beans on the way in tonight with the sport button on

, the car is loosening up nicely now and I can get 33mpg on my run whereas before it was 25-28 mpg

Anyone looking at any mods?

I'm Itching for abit more sound, 2nd by pass pipes seem a pretty cheap option but not sure on how much it will change the sound if at all

Yeah has seemed quiet here.

Doodlebug I feel your pain mate.

Oh and every day I seem to get cut up. A granny in an immaculate D reg Micra cut straight across me swapping lanes sooo close. I nearly head butted the steering wheel.

Question: Do your fans run always after driving? Seems even after a short calm drive the fans are going for a good couple of mins after the engine is turned off? That new car/exhaust heat smell?? When does that disappear. Done 2600 mls.

My fans run for a couple of minutes when it has been out. Can't comment on If it changes with mileage. Mine has only done circa 1000 miles. They have all been great!!
