  1. Finally I have managed to track down a company in Bristol that does arch rolling. It is a well established company that excell in race car prep and bodywork mods. My car is being book in for rolling over the next few days. The guy I spoke to was very friendly and new how strong the gen7 arch lips are and also asked how far do I want them rolled. I don't think its worth asking for a group discount as wait for it.........they only charge £20 per corner. I will post up there name when I've had the work done and can report on the quality of work,I'm confident on a great job as they were recommended by a friend who had his arches done by them.

  2. Left work this evening and the engine ran great. It's was 19 degrees out when I started the engine. This morning it ran rough and was only about 6. I think the problem is when the engines cold and the outside temp is down the ecu etc tells the engine to rich. It's so bad that putting my foot down in 3rd at about 3000rpm the car just lacks any power and takes a lifetime to get to around 6000rpm.

  3. I remember AMS (I think) saying there's no point in skimping on sensors since they last so long - best to go Denso or similar "proper" brand. Hopefully that's not too paraphrased, he was talking about lambdas but I assume same applies.

    The guess denso have to be better than after-market as they recommend to replace after 80k. Thats a lot of work that sensor has to do over the years.

  4. If you've got a sensor on the way out, O2 for example, the car will keep reading the weird codes for a wee while before it goes "aye, sod this for a game of soldiers"

    Check any codes first would be my advice and if your lambda is more than ten years old it's probably not a bad time to replace it anyway.

    Spelling errors caused by me not giving a toss

    After talking to a few people ur would point to the lambda. I'm not getting any error codes but it could be just working within it's range but not well. Think it might be worth me changing it as the car has done 85k now and 13 years old.
