What about tomorrow dude??


Sounds very odd just for it to be in 4th gear.........

Tev

i dont think its just 4th, everything's pointing to a weak actuator spring although i will b pissed if it is

i will still come tomorrow fella dont worry,

i really need to get the car to stu

if you just filled up, it might be shitty fuel? that would give you the symptons your describing

did you use a different fuel?

i always use v power (99 ron) in mine; but i couldnt get any this one day, as i was low i had to use BP ultimate (97 ron) and the car felt as if it had problems boosting, so much so i thought i had developed a problem
