I have some oil on the driveway. Not a lot, but it needs checked out and my mechanic is off for the next couple of weeks. When he fitted the coolant pipes he checked the engine over and didn't see any leaks or anything concerning (neither did the OPC) so I'm hoping this is just something minor. I'll top it up and won't be using it much just now anyway.
Cheers,

Mike.

Have you been using the car much or has it been parked up?

Could just be RMS if it’s by the gearbox / engine, in which case TADTS if the car hasn’t been used much.

I got a ctek charger for xmas which was good as the car was as flat as pancake in the new year. Charged, started once and I killed it with demisting so wouldnt start leaving us stranded. Bought a new battery.

Had to revisit garage to balance rear wheels as over 70 they werent right.

Due to tiers first week in Jan my exhaust is now booked in in a couple of weeks. Summat to look forward to :lol: 8-)

Also replaced both rear lights.

Did you get your exhaust fitted yet @Broccers?

The ABS & PSM fault light came on, looks like its due to a failed speed sensor on the front right. I fell for the old Design 911 "not actually in stock but we won't tell you and of course we'll take your money thank you very much" thing, so after waiting a few days for it to not turn up I've found one on eBay instead.
Cheers,

Fantastic! Let me know what you think of it once you've had it as I'll need to get mine done in the next couple of months.

Will do. Been waiting 4 months so better be good. I've looked into this and you've a risk by saying no drone equating to not loud enough. Also, I'm at donington next month and the drive by is 98db so can't be too shouty. Saying this I remember going round in David Yus Corvette and lifting by the pit entrance made sure it was quiet enough for the black flag fella :lol:

Not too different to how the 330 sounds from dead cold, guessing that was warm?

Was worth the money. Kept my tailpipes too as I didn't want it to look any different from a normal sports edition. The options they have a good tho.

Sounds fab under bridges, near buildings. Will get better clips when the weather improves.

Sounds like my daughter blowing bubbles in her drink through a straw (sorry). Once moving it sounds lovely though.

I know you were saying that they make them to your spec, but is there any way I could just say "I'd like a Broccers please" and they'd know what I was talking about? I like the sound of yours and mine needs replaced so am looking for a way to just get it shipped to me, especially under the current circumstances.
Cheers,

Mike.
