I dont trust rolling roads, the way the car drives is what I think is important. A live map is the best money can buy in my opinion, a proper custom map in real conditions mapped to how you personally drive. expensive, but in my opinion worth it.

Was that on The Mickey Mouse Rolling Road? Aircon, heater, radio, fan etc all switched off on the second power run and less resistance on the rollers lol?

rang who i thought my finance was through and my car isnt financed with them...weird! so now i don't even know who my finance company is

before i ring my finance company, do you think it would be advisable to tell them the situation or do it without them knowing?

well surprise surprise, the dealer said there's no problem with the car, and that my bald tyre is legal.... going to contact the finance company tomorrow and ask what i should do regarding rejecting the car. i've seen a very nice bmw e46 330d that i will buy if i'm successful in returning my...

i put 3 shots of millers into a brimmed tank on sunday and nothing has changed yet (only done 50 miles so not expecting much yet). it's going in tomorrow lunch to be looked at so fingers crossed they should sort it. noticed tonight how rough it idles, feels like a misfire would in a petrol...

i've seen a few threads on various forums relating to egr problems so in my opinion its worth a try if it doesnt get fixed tomorrow or whenever they decide to book it in.

2.0 110 bud tried finding the egr valve to disconnect it to see if that was the cause of any poor idle and acceleration yesterday, but couldn't see anything and got cold too quickly haha

I was told that only the 136 came with variable geometry turbo's but i'm not 100% on that. Just about to ring the dealer now and put my point across

i thought it had somethign to do with the alarm but was sure. i really wanted a 406 but could only find a 2.2 in estate form. also was told from a diesel specialist the 2.2 hdi is quite unreliable? i still regard psa diesels as the best available, the old 2/405 and 306 xud/t were a...

mondeo st tdci was one of the cars i was thinking of, but they are still holding big money :( i like my 307 it has alot of what would be optional extras on the german range. i think rather than reject i'd prefer them to sort it...but then what corners will be cut to save costs is the...

a friend of mine, a knowledgable bloke with engines etc said the same thing. i probably should have gone with a 320/330d from the start and had trouble free motoring lol

i only picked the car up yesterday from a garage in lincoln, and have 30 day gaurantee with them, plus an aa warranty so we shall see what they say i guess

thats what i was thinking, just wanted other peoples opinions before i went in all guns blazing to the garage i bought it from. it's a shame because its a lovely car and well spec'd too

i have a 2003 307 hdi 110. when it finally comes on boost at around 3000rpm the boost isn't smooth and makes you rock backwards and forwards in the seat. is this right for a standard car? also i mentioned in an earlier thread that it requires alot of revs to get moving from stand still. well i...

I normally use Comma 5w40 fully synthetic in my petrol cars. What would you recommend bud?

If I use anything it will be Millers. Still have half a bottle left from this time last year when I had my Astra :)

Hi Waynne, from my experience with diesels the power band is very low down the rev range and is like a window in effect. I am owed a remap from G&G Motorsport and have contacted Phil who owns the company to book me in which he is doing. He can also turn off the fap filter and so I can remove...

Nope, no particle filter on the CDTi whether mine was too early to have one I don't know? (Seat introduced them to the Ibiza pd in late 2005) The problem the Fiat/Vauxhalls face is the EGR valve and inlet manifold (swirl flaps) which is a costly repair (around £1200 I believe). I'm also lead...

Quoted website figure, but these boxes are renouned for making MORE power than their website states. A couple of the van owners with same engine were set on the lower powered map and made 210bhp. These are the good boxes with PROPER software not the cheap ebay #!#!#!#!. If you go on Astra...

My Astra H 1.9 16v CDTi (Fiat JTD engine) 150 standard. With a DTUK CRD2 box made 206bhp. Quick was an understatement!!!

I have bought the above car today. i noticed while driving that in 1st gear it seems to require alot of throttle to get moving is this normal for one of these? My last diesel was a 206bhp 1.9 16v Astra SRi CDTi and was obviously quite responsive and didn't require hardly any throttle to get...

Hi my name's Matt, I'm 22 and just purchased an 03 307 110 Dturbo. It's a 3dr in silver and has the sp kit on. Couple of things I would like to ask about the car, but I'll start a thread in the relevant section. Regards, Matt.
