Just been for a drive, goes very nicely now
Near side rear wheel bearing is going though, noticed it on the M40 last night got a bit worse on the way home, tonight it's loud..
Has anyone managed to fit a boost gauge to the centre vent and still be able to open and close it? On the 3B I removed the flap but I think that gauge had a plastic hardline.Last edited by newsh; 24 December 2013, 22:29.

Yeah, landing was proper sideways!
It's a bit damp round here so this is the pic of the car..
The car cruised home ok but felt like it was in limp mode so this morning I had a look under the bonnet, hooked up a boost gauge and gave it a pressure test.
This is what the pressure test found, not the first time I've seen this! Basically it sits against the headlight bracket and in the course of 150,000miles it wears through.
Replaced it with a forge item I had in the spares box
The breather system is also leaking just above the crankcase vent somewhere so I disconnected it and plugged the pipe for now.
Car now boosts 0.7 Bar with WGFV unplugged and 1.3 Bar with it plugged in and pulls nicely.Last edited by newsh; 24 December 2013, 18:14.
