Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this?
From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me)
Sorry no idea what...
If you are "modding" your car and adding BHP or using it on track then consider your oil choice carefully as the stock manufacturers recommended oil will not give you the protection that your engine requires.
A standard oil will not be thermally stable enough to cope with higher temperatures...
Woo Hoo, 10,400 miles of fun fun fun driving. Only a few small problems, (being hit up the arse and the dodgy sensor). But all in all i love the Trophy. Will be staying for a long while.
Should reach 12,000 by next week. Nice trip to France on Thursday. lol
As per the topic titled, my intermittent problem with my water/coolant temp gague have now developed into a constant issue, and now the car does not ever register the correct temp - which at least should make it easier for the technicians to identify the problem!
Will get the car booked in...

Apolgies if this one's been seen/ debated before - I did a quick search and could find nowt.
When I open up and the revs go above 5000 I see a cloud of exhaust gasses in the rear view mirror (Note to self: keep eyes on road when pushing on!)
The haze is not dark and oily but more like a water...
