Welcome, as above get some photos up, get your HDI remapped off one of the forum tuners such as Mr Whippy, Pro Steve/HDI Tuning or Jammapic, doesnt cost too much and makes a massive difference!

I'll get some photos next time i wash it although its looking pretty sorry for itself.... im missing the side skirt from the passengers side, the wing had a dent in it, and the door is creased slightly from my hedge clearing job! theres also a hole in my rear bumper after trying to tow an engineless and brakeless shell down a hill :| I'm trying to get the parts together just now to get a stage 2/2.5 remap onto it, I've already got a (pretty rubbish) stage 1 map!

I'm trying not too! I've only one to go after this! I' got in on that deal for the cheap remap so I'm hoping to get a clutch kit (which is confusing me) to hold the power, make up a straight bit of exhausts pipe and get some piping for an intercooler I've acquired!!

Yeah I'm planning on sticking around, I had a 306 hdi a few years ago and had big plans from it until my glow plug snapped I tried to remove the head got angry finally got it out and put a new gasket on her, changed the timing belt and water pump and then after that ever 2-300 miles removed the rocker cover and changed 1-2 valve rockers. After snapping a camshaft I got sick of it and moved on to a few other cars! Got this one last November and I'm planning on getting it running a good stage two ?
Sorry for trolling it won't happen again....I think I've read just about every recent thread anyways!
