Well what a day :shock:

Didnt get a chance to start anything today. New van never made it (iv upgraded to a MK5) some w****r on the motorway. Luckily missed the van but hit the trailer :shock: :shock: Jonnyshag knows more he was driving. (he sounded OK on the phone :wink: )

I just realised i never mentioned i should hopefully be buying this :roll: :roll:

So the pinto should be out tomorrow and i will be getting to work in a fiesta :(

And finally the sunstrip was OK for the MOT man and it passed :wink:

Back to your van :roll: Before you fit the V6 8) Did you want to see the airco set up on mine :?:
There are no ECUs involved other than there is a connection on my ECU which all it does is increase the idling slightly :) 'cause as you may already know that, the more load on the engine at idling speed, the more black smoke/emmissions there is coming out the exhaust :!: And being auto as well could be the reason why they never put a proper auto in the MK6 'cause it wouldn't meet the latest emmissions regulations :roll:

PM Sent :wink:
