Anyone Got Some Matches?
After a series of things I needed a lift, so as the roads are dry, what better than an all out blast down my favourite lanes?
Awesome run out, pads smoking nicely, turbo glowing deep red, lovely.
Head back, 5 miles from the nearest anything, oh ****, why has the engine stopped?
Just been towed home, not quite the pick me up i wanted.
Anyone want to buy a Sorted 2.5 Classic? or swop for a tdi Golf/Leon/A3 or LS200 ?

It was running beautifully, was literally thinking moments before how much I love driving this car.
Did have an issue a short while ago, when the apexi 'lost' the map, reverted to factory setting, trailered it to Zak, and after some diagnostic, flashed the ecu with the map and all was fine. Don't want to prejudge but sympons are very similar. Turns over, almost starts, then dies.

Ok, after a few calls with Zak, the problem has been identified and rectified 
Maf Failure!
Off out in a min to complete the mission I was on last night.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Obviously, big Thanks to Zak for talking me 1. out of burning it, 2. through the diagnostic and finding the problem.

in the morning you will be but in the afternoon it is one person on track at a time so you have plenty of time to sit back and take photo's... you need the time to let your car cool down and the flames from the brakes to die out (or was that just me?)
