Wouldn't like to say but does seem a bit of a coincidence.

Why were you having a re map?

Complete bollocks. the dtc is set when the cam angle goes outside of set ecu parameters. decats only cause over boost and fuel issues.

Anyone had to change their red led brake light strip in their rear spoiler? I noticed a few of my LEDs weren't working when the missus drove off earlier. Also my rubber seal under the spoiler appears to have stretched as a portion is hanging down onto the back window. Presumably this has let water in to the brake light??

Headlight adjustment


Worth checking your headlight autolevelling sensors front and rear as well to make sure the system is working.

Me too but can't find anything that matches its performance for the price.

Been considering:

E92 M3 but will be older and even more expensive to run.
CLA AMG or A45 once they drop to sub 30k.
RS3 and S3 but not sure.

Most likely will be the 2015/16 Focus RS or may even consider the new Mustang for a complete change!!

I've owned 4 subarus over the last 10years and fancy a change too,but they're so much bang for the buck i can't decide what to go for either? My budget is only really £7000 without needing finance! I don't want an evo or an old skyline.probably something 2wheel drive really?

You'll be used to MY08 GTR performance with your current motor, Rob.

Just when you tune those they're in another league...

Think it's a std STi cat.
The 330S comes with the PPP ( prodrive performance pack - back box, ECU exchange / map ) as std ... I put a sports cat on mine as my mapper considers it limiting the power .. due to flow/back pressure I guess.
