was it deffo a genuine one with a blue part# tag?

Might just be that your actuator needs setting up.

If you leave ultimate dubs by dinner time on sunday i might be able to squeeze you on the rollers and see what's going on

1pm should be fine. I'll be there from around 11 messing with my motor and a car is coming to be mapped at 3:30.
