Love the wheels.  IMO needs a tiny drop to LOOK good but you're happy so...................

Did you get it on rollers before the map?

Nope never got chance but the difference with the remap is night and day.

So one of those days when everything that could go wrong did  :angry:

Started with finding a nail in the rear tyre, lucky they could repair it then get back home and could hear an air leak get looking and found the brake servo pipe split, have replaced it with fuel hose for the moment as Skoda cannot supply a delivery date for a new pipe.

Then the small pipe on the divertor valve split, tried replacing that to find it is 2 different sizes, so have bodged it with a joiner as again not available then to finish the day off I have noticed the drivers side carpet is soaking wet  :angry: so I need to look at that tomorrow.

This on top of a major ruck with Swinton today over canceling my policy.

Well I have found the water leak, the grommet around the bonnet release cable is missing, I guess we must have caught it when fitting the boost gauge, I have filled the hole with silicone.

Need to sort out drying the foam out now, may wait until I fit the darker carpet.

Skoda have tracked a servo pipe down, collecting it in the morning.

Pain in the ass... at least you've sorted the leak... why did your policy get cancelled!?
