well worth it though Matt. I bought mounting screws from screwfix on Vrstu's recommendation

Very nice mat, take it you do have to drain the cooling system too?

4hrs seems acceptable - might be tempted to do it myself.

good job though !!!!

Ps Mat how much did you say for the cooler and the 2 hoses ? can those 2 hoses be replaced with the Silicone upgrade ones ?

i think the car is pulling smoother and is pulling abit harder and is spooling up faster, i will see what it does on the roller this weekend

you mind if i come to urs after the RR day on saturday, 

i wouldnt be able to do that 

it is a big job and dont rush it and have a torx set  and screwdrivers and a socket set handy  if i did it i would charge to do it  but not as much as some and i could only do it outside if the wheather is ok
