Sadly not.. Found one whilst it was there, but there is another somewhere as its running lean on idle

Passed emissions with 77ppm (limit 3500) and 0.07% CO2 iirc..

:D

It was also a god send knowing the tester 8O

The techs were loving it! Couple thought I was slightly mad though..

Cheers guys!! :group:

Having been without it for 2yrs its a little mixed emotions right now due to the deviation from the original plan, BUT I can drive it again, check everything else is ok, take my time with the S50, and have some fun in the mean time!! Plus I guess wont do me any harm to get used to it with 200bhp..

Bit annoyed I couldnt tax it tonight, wanna go and play :D

Turns out it cruises at about 90/100 quite nicely (kmh of course).. Oops. Still.. Only stuck £25 of Super in it, and thats still going, and ive driven to Brighton, and went out for a 50min fun drive last night, and couple of other fun runs. Economy is an unexpected bonus.. :D

Roll on the S50 :twisted: :twisted:
