Cloud and silver lining and all that. Will be able to plumb in a boost gauge and see if we can get a bit more power  :lipsrsealed:

Picked the old girl up this afternoon and it was soooo good to get her back  :cool:  it feels a bit sharper and throttle response is improved but then my EGR valve and throttle body were fairly gunked. This was due to a missing bolt which allowed vapour etc past........

Had it serviced too  :smiley:

Still need to investigate the ESP issue as the it intervened on a slight turn at speed whilst bothering a VXR. Its the first time I have experienced it at speed. Will try and swap the tyres around to see if that eliminates the problem

Filthy fecking dark pump disciple.  Sadly I doubt that will learn you.  :grin:

Re: Rhyso's 205bhp Posh Golf....and the repair bills keep coming

So the handbrake has had a bit too much play in it lately.  Booked it into the garage for it to be readjusted.....

Phone call at lunchtime - both callipers were seized solid.  We've managed to free the passenger side but not the drivers side.  We'll give it another go and let you know but you probably need a new calliper

20 minutes later - 'we've freed calliper and went to bleed the system.  Cracked the bleed nipple to find that's knackered so we can't put it back.  New calliper is needed

Just to rub it in they can't get a new calliper until Tuesday so the car is off the road until then  :sad: Gone for a refurb item which is £80 as opposed to £160 for a brand spanker.

Seriously not impressed with the fact the calliper is shagged on a car with 77,000 miles on the clock  :angry: :angry:  I suspect the bloke who changed my rear discs and pads might have damaged it when he bled the system.....

Will need one for the passenger side at some point but that can wait.  And I've still yet to resolve my traction issues.  And I'll be needing front tyres soon  :rolleyes: :cry:
