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 fook, why has the engine stopped? :cry:

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 ? :cry:

WTF, what did it do before it shut down Neil?

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.

Strange?

Hard to say without a laptop.

Will talk to Zak today, hopefully the issue will be fairly minor? :(

Hope so......
but the boss is not going to let you forget this! :(

swap you for a red type ra ;)

hope it's a quick and easy fix for you.

Neil, Hope it's not too drastic :(

If you do sell up remember Fords are the new Subaru :D

:lol: do i fall into that catogory? i do have a ford engine/back lights/swithch gear... :confused: the list goes on.... :thumb:

Hope it gets sorted ASAP with no pain neil... :(

I'll let you join my 'exclusive' club ;)

:lol:

Letting the Noble in to try and add some credibility :lol1:

Your not wrong there.... another nail in the coffin :(

Hope you get it sorted soon Neil

It's Alive!!!!
 

Ok, after a few calls with Zak, the problem has been identified and rectified :luxhello:

Did you blank your DV ?

yep, dv well and truly blanked thanks to Luke !! lol :)

i'll be up north weald tomorrow so might stick my head in.

or you might hear us!!! ;)

try and get some photo's while you are there mate...

i'll be driving though ;)

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?)

cool :)
