Dude, dont forget to cable tie the ABS pump as it might damage the paint work!

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 :mad:

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
