I'm sure Nick said he wasn't sure when i spoke to him yesterday  :tongue: :grin: :grin:

I know 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears you will never load the engine enough to see that sort of PSI maintained but 4th onwards should do   :undecided:

Oh well - new suspension is on the cards and it drives fine at the moment; we'll see in January if i got a problem but I know that my car will be run in 5th gear so it should be fine  :grin: :grin:

ok maybe i wasn't sure then  :grin:

thought about trying 10k boost for dervs?

or maybe a tiny tiny boost leak? but i guess it'd show in 4th as well?

10K boost? What's that?? Like an octane booster equivalent?  :huh:  I run Forte diesel treatment through every now and again and also only use Total Excellieum diesel which is full of a few extra additives designed to keep everything fairly clean; also means I get at least another 40 miles out of a tank  :smug:

If it was a boost leak I'd expect to see it in all gears  :undecided:
