PMSL Smile
When it's finished the car will be going through an MOT, so if anything else needs doing I will know.

Oh dear, well to cheer yourself up a bit Lee you can go along to Al's first trackday and watch his demise.
Killed to a fate worse than a fate worse than death and then find him a wife so he can be as miserable as the rest of us.

Thanks,
I had a play today setting up lambda controll in the ecu and connecting the O2 sensor, think it may need a little more than 19.9% fuel correction as the engine was mapped for race which is usually 0.8 lambda instead of 1 lambda

NS headlamp aim too low
OS headlamp aim too low
Front to rear brake pipe inadequately clipped
NS steering rack gaiter split
OS steering rack gaiter split

Advisory
(Interaction with indicators) all position lamps slightly affected by the operation of another lamp
Offside front body has slight corrosion
Offside rear wheel bearing has slight play
Front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements, pass @ 24%, fail at 25%

Overall weight 1177 kg
Front axle 718kg
Rear axle 495kg
That doesn’t make any sense as that = 1213kg, I thought the ser 3 is 1000kg, I did have a spare cat and rear box in the car but....

I have a non PS rack but it needs new gaiter which I’m sourcing now, they adjusted the lamps and charged me £10, I tried to explain that I know how to set them up but they weren’t having it.
