hows jamie slow ???

thats what id like to know. he has a sorted corsa with a 2.0ltr lump in it but yet he is still slow (65mph on the motorway slow!!!)

[RobJenko]

well astras sorted! changed the sensors (well one of them, cleaned the plug of the other as id bought the wrong one) and now no fault codes, eml light goes out, no limp mode drives spot on again. another good thing is i checked the cam belt while i had the cover off (for the first time since owning the car for 3 years) and all is good! belt looks like new, tensioners look good, its all tight so im a happy bunny!

i think its the suspension, ive driven the car and its just too harsh to drive fast any little bump gives you whip lash, damned boy racers lmao

Are you taking the Shyline round Coombe Rubix?

[@ndy]

I only have 90 horses at the very best

Drive to Gower does sound very very good idea indeed

I'll have a look into a route that will be 'interesting for us'

Also thought would need to be an early start as too much traffic otherwise!

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&hl...6,0.87616&z=11

i know that route, goes past my house, up to where i used to live, over the mountains on some very nice twisty roads with awesome views for miles, then down to port talbot. very nice route.

Right who's up for this on the 30/31 August as the thread in Car Talk seems to have now died??

I'll have a look at the Top Gear roads and plan something for spring 2009.

Found their website and have emailed them will have to wait and see if they come back with anything. Would be great if we could do this I always forget about this show so really want to go this time round.

[@ndy]

Will be ordering my new tyres from Camskills when they sort their payment thingy out.

Anyone know anyone who'll fit the tyres and balance for a greased palm?

[donvaux]
