Something is a bit wrong with yours I thinks Mmm, unless its the 17s, must be something slightly wrong, although doesn't feel like it, its due a MOT and service end of March, will ask them to check it over a bit more than usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 17s would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehey Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) You won't drop 20-25 mpg just with bigger wheels. Something else is wrong here Edited February 8, 2017 by wehey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 the larger rolling radius will really screw up the Speedo so there's no accurate measurement, 25% is possible but driving style also has a lot to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehey Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) So I had a bit of spare time today to do a diesel purge. You disconnect the two diesel lines from the filter and put the ends into a glass jar. Make sure it's glass as this stuff gets really hot. Use a section of suitable tubing and connect an end to the fuel filter connectors that you removed the diesel lines from, forming a return loop. Fill the jar up with the diesel purge and run the engine until it's all gone. I take it upto the red line a fair bit to really push the stuff through. The whole process takes about 45 mins. You can see the dirt and muck that is removed from the engine as it builds up in the jar in the last photo. The purge is clear when you start out. The engine feels much smoother now and pulls really well ? Edited February 15, 2017 by wehey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehey Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Did clutch change yesterday as it was slipping quite bad with the aggressive map I am using. The clutch arm had rusted through ?I've never seen this before!! It explains the weird clutch feel that the car has had since I have owned it. lucky I had a spare!! Clutch now feels great with no slippage..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
