just a thought on the actuator, i snapped a few on my westie at first when taking it on track, it was always OK on the road, if the angle isnt spot on they seem to fail on track. Check the actuator mount isnt lining the rod up with a slight sideload, if it is either mod the mount bracket or round off the eye to give it a radius so it doesnt load up at an angle.

A bolt dropped out of my sump so i lost a load of oil

But looking on the bright side, if that hadn't happened i wouldn't of noticed the inside of my discs were fooked 'cos i'd gone metal to metal

Your car looked very quick Dingy Didn't realise it was you/your car on track actually until now as I thought I'd read you weren't going to be able to be on track?

How come Karls was only running 1 Bar BTW as I thought he was gonna be using full boost as there was no noise limits? Just to save the transmission or something? Was looking forward to seeing it going at full chat!

Dingy,
It was good to see your car out on track again. Unfortunately had to leave at dinner but was well happy as you have saved me thousands of pounds.Thing is, I was worried that I would have to keep my westie to keep up on track, but your 6 laps at 1.30 now means it can now go! Reckon even the golf could beat that!
