Had one a few weeks ago, insanely loud when you've buildings either side, surprisingly ok at 70mph on the motorway too. Fair play MAF, was hoping to catch you today at Autoshield, and Frank, but even though I went there twice, I missed you.

Shame to have missed you, Dicky. At least you've seen her in the flesh now. That QP IV you've sold to Ewan looked lovely. It was like a forum car meet today with Doris looking a bit shame faced in the workshop as well!

Rolling road session booked for Sunday morning. Figures to be posted up soon, although no mapping will have taken place. The car feels a bit quicker, but that could just be the additional noise. Inside the car it's actually quite civilised. Still some boom/drone but no more than before. Light throttle at 70-80 is fairly quiet inside in Sport mode and switched off it's almost like a whisper. Almost.

Noooo! All I did was suggest what to do and gently push like-minded individuals along the path to aural satisfaction!

For which, Benny, many of us are eternally grateful to you. And to Marios, of course, for aiding and abetting.

MAF - :excellent:

Headers only with cats, then venting to atmosphere :)

Hmmmm, short-lived fun. Car goes into limp mode and shows the suspension light every time I try to drive. Happens as soon as I touch the throttle. Marios said the suspension won't send it into limp mode so doesn't know what it is without seeing it. Looks like it'll be on a truck and heading back to Autoshield for diagnosis and repair :(
I may see if there's anyone more local to me with a SD2/3 who can at least read the fault and maybe reset it. I've done a couple of battery resets which have made no difference.
Happy to listen to any ideas.

Feel for you, mark. It sounded amazing. All I can think is you've worn the suspension out with all that hard acceleration, and now it's sulking!

Hope it gets sorted soon.

Oh no, hope its something simple and the suspension lights are just the system getting confused by the noise.

It will be something simple MAF which Marios will have sorted for you by the end of next week.
