I found my Sport easier than my touring by a long way, must get those rear dampers changed!

tyre pressures adjusted today and cooling system bled a bit more and more coolant added....... i have a feeling that it may be eating water... there are no leaks.... but i think its using some as i poured about a litre more in today... maybe all the air didnt come out first time round and i was just replacing that
otherwise with correct pressures she gets the arse out in 3rd more easily than my sport which is much more powerful......-suspension must be really buggered LOL

i know that car, its not bad but i dont think its as quick as my tourer, think i will have to pop over and find out for sure once you have done the suspension,

and if i do lose i will just blame it on it being auto
will give you a ring soon
