Even North London to Cannock in 2 hours is pushing it.

I'd say AKS in Bedford too. Alex is a top bloke.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Thanks for the reports. 90 minutes to AKS from me. I can do that. Called main dealer to get car back. Expecting a £150 charge for their diagnosis though :)

Got it back. No charge. I think they washed it  :laugh: The chap who called me on the phone to tell me they couldn't hear any noise came out as I was leaving. Revved it to 2k as explained, let it decelerate, noise was audible. He said 'oh yeah I hear it'.

Off to the tuners we go. Milltek non res and a stage 1 incoming, once this little noise is sorted!  :laugh:

Hmmm sounds like the wastegate rattle or have you already had the clip fitted to stop that?

I asked my dealer the same question and they had no idea. I already knew what yours said and told him that. He had no idea about it.
