You mean you really do have a coupé after all and it's not just a figment?

Congrats on the pass btw

I think I was beginning to wonder about that too!

How long has been it since it went off-road again?

there was about 5+metres of ribbon in a close to porto blue color Thank you Neil

Well the drive home was boring bar the last roundabout where i kept the revs still below 2500 but cruised round at a nice speed you forget how much grip these things can have compared to the average veggie tank!

Slowly building her up as filled her with tescos best tonight at a nice 88.9p/litre as well
Going to have to sort out when i can get her sorted on the LPG and go from there as i need the fuelling checked really. Wonder if perfect touch would map both for me

Shes really nice and needs a clean i think but hey after spending 3months without use any car would!

The dreaded Airbag Light came on and as i had kept Paul and the others waiting till just gone 6.30 i didnt want to give them a call so will wait till the morning for that unless someone has the tool to reset it here in the northwest as my widgit wont do it

Kudos to Paul as its been a long battle and some of the wiring for the rear lights was a mess as it had fused itself into one lump so new rear number plate lights and wiring, new pistons and rings and slow buildup of revs on semi synth to no more than 5k after 600-700 miles and then some motul and new filter in her and then start raising it up again.

I stuck to a principle of every 50miles add another 250revs to the plebo-revo-limiter so cruising back at the first bit and being overtaken by lorries was fun but didnt take long to get her happy at 70 again
Again thanks to Paul and the fellas and svet as im sure her tea kept them going and heres to some more happy coupe miles.

list of jobs is fuelling check on both systems.
drivers door swap,
new front tyres(about 4months wear left on em and they are pants anyhoo)
New skirts, rear bumper, front bumper fitted and sprayed.
bonnet resprayed and smoothed,
number plate relocating,
then the sound deadening project and squeek hunting will ensue!

I have an advisory as well on the rear pass side shocker.
Now its a nice Koni adjustable, im guessing these come with a lifetime warranty so im going to have to hunt thru the reciepts for them or have to go saving for some lucious leda's i guess

Q: What is the KONI warranty? How do I go about getting replacements?

A: The KONI warranty is 3 year with unlimited mileage against defects in materials and workmanship. Although some kit applications have a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. The warranty does not cover damage to the parts caused by misuse, misapplication, installation, motorsports, etc. The warranty does not include mounting bushings. If you determine you have a defective damper you contact the company which you purchased the unit(s) from. To process your warranty, we will require a copy of the purchase receipt and a vehicle registration.

The above is a quote from Konis UK website so i guess i have to hunt thru the reciepts to find out whats what with the warranty.

If they cant be replaced FOC by them ill be looking into the ledas as ill want to be able to have them super soft most of the time and stiffen them up for summer
