Car was fine, tuned at Read Performance and ran well. Last week mot was up but needed a bearing so the mechanic collected the car did the work and mot.
But when it came back it sounded like a Subaru, exhaust stutterring/popping.
I changed plugs, leads and coil...tightened hoses and still my S1 sounds f**ked from its time the mechanic took it for its MOT, they also turned the boost down for some unknown reason.
Engine has only done 1300 miles from new and was fine until the car was returned.
