Skezza Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Would you say it was necessary to remove them then? I noticed the lads from MCM do it by simply piling a load of newspaper down underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures show it before being welded. Oh and a little present from Dubfiction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 The unexpected high idle might have been due to not being driven much. Wouldn't worry.Cracking motor btw. Keep your low mileage nice and hidden away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
