adamski frst :apparently my mechanic has fitted the new map sensor and the car is running ALOT better!!!!!!! :D

Mind if I take a bow? ;) To be fair, whilst I take my bow I'm going to slap you. I told you it'd be the MAP sensor back in February/March! :lol: Bloody glad to hear that has resolved the problem from the sounds of things, let us know how setting it up goes :D

forgot to add the car is running about 12psi there altho i didn't rev it much, and don't know how fast we went as the speedo was playing up :rolleyes: . yet the coolers seem to work v well as it stays so cool :o

what you did see and couldn't hear was 2 mins b4 we went down a pot hole and the pipe came off the map sensor :rolleyes: :lol:

but i did very slightly catch the wheel down a hole too so we are raising the one corner slightly.. :)

but also i hadn't totally secured the battery and the fuel box so everything was bloody rattling :lol: was doing my head in but all done now :D ...

GARY- yes mate all done by A+H clever blokes :)
