just got back from pro sport, changed the oil no probs. funny moment when the lad undid some thing and covered the floor and his arms in oil
they checked the ECU and there was four things wrong
so they reset it and all was top's. car drove so much better after. a lot smoother.

Have fun tomorrow chaps, funny you all say you have had your oil & water checked but what about your brakes? I did Oulton on Saturday and boiled the brake fluid within 3 laps!! She must have ****e dot 4, getting it changed this weekend and new pads just for the hell of it then back to Oulton on the 29th if anyone fancies it. £95 for a full day with open pit lane.
Si.
Si.
cheers for the reminder though bud

Had to read Chris's post twice as didnot believe it the first time getting a garage to check your oil and water. You could have run out of oil before you had took it in SCARY.

ok ok, just to explain a little, I didn't go there just to check water and oil. I owed him £20 for my exhaust gasket which he did a few weeks ago, so checked my oil outside work before I left for prosport, just in case it was low, he could've topped it up if it was.
When I got there, I mentioned what we're doing tomorrow, and he offered to check them both again, so I obliged, which was nice of him,
now, anyone know where I can get some cheap toyo proxes from after tomorrow?

Can someone post the meeting points for tomorrow on the Astles forum, or ring me in the morning (not before 7:30!).
OK on the brakes, but not sure on the fluid! Cap says DOT3, manual says DOT4, fluid pots say DOT5 for ABS cars. Help!?!
Don't forget the bucket of water chris, as you promised.

What a superb day out if I say so myself. A few damaged body parts, wheels and tyre's.
Also to add first time I have been to Curborough and not had an off.
