  1. JW...... you rang lol EV's are cool and get to have a mini meet at every service station I like Elon, he believes in God. I've driven a few EV's and find them as boring as waiting for ones luggage at an airport departure lounge. As a home to work/school to home form of transport I doubt they can be beaten for 90% of the car buying....... sorry financing/leasing public.
  2. Thought ok, that's not meant to look like this. Definitely a worth while investigation as no doubt the partially block solenoid ports will be having an adverse effect on not only engine smooth running, efficiency but performance also. Cleaned and tested both solenoids, working at least from what I can gather. Clean up pictures, note also some sealant inside bank 1 solenoid too ffs. As you can imagine the engine feels noticeably better for it and the idle is now bang on!!!! Not driven it a great deal, but the light throttle matter in thr higher gears is nowhere to be seen either - result.
  3. Time for some well needed maintenance, in relation to engine health. From day one of ownership very nearly 2 years ago, it's always had a slight hesitation on idle once warm and when rolling on/off light throttle again a hesitation. Through swapping out intakes I've changed the MAF, no difference at all. Cleaned out and freed up the PCB valve as good practice still no difference. On the the VVT solenoids and after almost 80k, couldn't do any harm with a freshen up. From here il let the pictures do the talking
  4. Vettel FTW, oh wait....... Mate (massive Hamilton fan) was round just and I said it, Bottas under normal circumstances should not be out qualifying Hamilton. Imo Lewis is the 4th best driver on the grid at best.
  5. Poor guy, im sure he'll learn for the next time.
  6. No Varley16 Hows it feeling so far on the new suspension? Bet there's little need for uprated ARB's now.
  7. Nice share, tbf any of those top tyres would be great on our cars being used daily
  8. Not all 5w30 are the same, might sound obvious but do be sure to check. 5w30 for a VQ35 will have want a different a viscosity index to a 5w30 needed in a 1.3 CDTi Combo van. http://lubematch.shell.co.uk/gb/en_GB/browse/cars
  9. Cheers pal, not bad for a complete phone effort

    Golf R

    He works for VW and its about as cheap and you'll ever find ie well less than £200 a month all in. You'll find manufactures have car schemes that side step the tax man in the normal manner
  14. Yes pal, its not removed a smell however replaced it with a new one which isn't too bad. Would recommend for sure. I find the 350z does get smells from the engine bay, plus there's no pollen filter either.
