Thanks for the comments. I know the guy I bought it from, wouldnt dream of letting it out in even damp conditions let alone rain!!
Adam, I have a power graph for 322 bhp and 290 lb/ft. I believe that was before the water injection was fitted, although im not sure that would give it a little more as I dont know about water injection at all to be honest.
Thanks for the commnets.

Cheers Adam, I do have a receipt in the service history for uprated regulator from GGR, but doesnt say if its 4 bar though. Is there anyway of checking?
maxest, I have receipts for re-map at GGR, with uprated fuel pump and regulator, induction kit, de cat magnex, aquamist water injection, turbotechnics 5133 hybrid turbo. Power graph looks really smooth for both power and torque.

oh result, thats the front diff...undo the ten bolts, with a tray underneath, abouth a litre of diff oil will drop out
Take diff cover off, clean the joins on the cover and diff case, apply an adequate ammount of sealant, bolt back up again and refill with diff oil..
Job done!!! OR just check the diff pan bolts are all tight... but dont over tighten them..
Get used to being under the car wont you

Ive really really got to resist it though. I was like this with my S1 until I got caught out in the rain with it once and then used it a couple more times when it was wet. Although the S1 was no where near like this underneath.
Agree about the salt, nasty stuff!! Although funnily enough, I havnt seen a single gritter out round my area at all this winter.
