DV valve if you've not already changed it  :wink:

Doc is the Rev D DV the best one to use ? Looks like the standard one hasn't done too bad, stage 2 for about 20k with no issues  :smiley:

Access to the bits looks a bit dodgy so deffo best left to the professionals with a ramp!
I have a ramp so guess that makes me a professionals lol :grin:
Couple of axle stands for pennies and a cheap 2 tonne jack is all that's needed really for basic stuff.
I'm too tight to pay someone once out of warrenty to fix it   :grin:

^^^ :grin:
I like doing something's on the car but crawling about under it while 18" off the ground isn't one of em  :grin:

Bit of an update,
Took the car in today, they have removed the DV and its split  :smiley:
So a nice easy repair by the sounds of it and she should be back to normal again  :smiley:

i think yours has lasted well, mine went on the rocco at just under 30k when on stage 1 having not long fitted the ITG, i went rev D then but believe there is a new one which is doing the rounds, pain in the a$$ to get to

Not sure how bad mine has split until I see it tomorrow,
I am on 38k now and been stage 2 for about 20k and loads of Trackdays, so as you say don't think it's done too bad  :smiley:
