Good news they found the problem !

I was going to get APR .... about the same time I guess the problem would have been copied over - so glad I didn't.  They have a good reputation but it just goes to show how something so small can cause a problem which because it is so small takes an age to detect.

Good they kept at trying to find it ....

MMMM £700, is it worth it.........
definitely worth it  :happy2: , reckon you could get some £ off that too. DV would be preventative, you could wait for it to fail before changing it as well.

@whiteGTI is that flywheel or wheels hp in your sig?
