Yeah Ive read up them and read about the piston no4. Ive joined up to the forums so got a bit of info on the problem. Its a very small percentage its happening to, but still, shouldnt be happening! Thorney Motorsport have looked into it and apparently it was one certain tuner who was mapping it incorrectly. Have a wee read if you get a chance its quite interesting:

Its still under warranty till December anyway, more than enough time to save up for some forged pistons & steel rods!
Dunno why vauxhall didnt use forged pistons from the start, seems silly!
