It's looking more and more like I'm not going to make this as the car is not sorted but the problem is intermittent so seem to be totally stumped with no way of locating the problem.

I did as well but it started misfiring and with the wedding thought I could get it sorted. It's been extreme scoobies but there's no fault code on the ecu and to be honest I've just had enough of it. I'm totally sick and tired of the car and just can't be bothered with it st the moment

I love that last comment from the article... A constant droning at the weekend... And yet you have Arena Essex just up the road.

When I lived in Chafford I heard the racers at Arena Essex all the time! You get used to them!

Good luck with yours this year Brian

Essex Police have announced they have a new device, aimed at tackling the noise from modified cars. The audio analysers can measure exhaust noise output and prosecute motorists who are breaching regulations.
^^ I think I may break their analyser!

As long as you don't get there before 7 you will be fine, they have a 2 hour limit at the services.

Have a few mates who are Honda enthusiasts, and I heard how they had to move their monthly meets away from Lakeside due to complaints.

Can anyone confirm what tunnels on route have average speed cameras?

As far as I'm aware, Blackwall, Rotherhithe and Tower Bridge all have.

Not sure about Dartford or Limehouse Link.

Am not planning to speed or drive like a tw*t, but it's good to know in advance.
