Same sh!t car... new engine :grin:

tbh it feels like a totally new car. old engine must have been loose and rattled about a fair bit!!

You got car back now then Gilly ?

 yep.. picked it up this afternoon!!

feels alot better may I add!! have to run it in again though  :undecided:

not sure if my map will go back on either  :cry:

You only got a few weeks left on lease anyway havn't ya  :rolleyes:

Yes.... which is why it would be rude to drive it without the map!!   :evil:

Have a word with the guys that installed the map, they should be able to re do it, its on the ecu not the engine ?

Good stuff!!! always a fountain of knowledge Neil!!  :grin: :grin:

How long should i wait to run in... dealership guy said 1000miles, I dont often listen to what they say though!!  :grin:

Congratulations. That was quick. They probably had a new engine waiting for you all the time.
Don't bother running it in. Why change the habit of a lifetime. Go on, rev it to death red. It will be interesting to find out if it will last the remainder of the lease period.
On a serious note, I kept my revs below 4000 rpm for the first 1000 miles, then changed the oil + filter and canned it. But as you don't have this grace period, can it from tomorrow! It'll go BOOM! for the next owner. So what? :evil:
