Hi Guy's, has any one had a problem with there fuel flap not opening or know how to fix a problem I'm having? When I pull the release next to the seat it's not quite releasing the flap, any help would be much appreciated as I have no fuel to take the car to the garage to be fixed !!!!!!
Cheers

I had the same problem and once I got the flap open, by having my other half hold the release lever and me then gently pressing the right hand side of the flap in. I then found that the issue was with the flat spring located on the flap hinge, it wasn't forcing the flap open so when pulling the release the flap was just remained in place. I opened the spring out a little and it's been fine ever since.

It's been a while yet looking to get back in the fold. Currently considering a legacy however if the right Forged hatch or saloon presented itself I'd consider it, so anyone thinking of selling up or know of a good one drop me a PM

Picked mine up a few weeks ago - 340R.
Already has the HT Autos lowline kit and RallyArmour mud flaps. Had the spoiler wrapped though need to get it painted instead due to my OCD.
Any recommendations on where to pick up a new bonnet scoop?

Some ProR340's had issues. If you did dunk run in sports would get 340bhp but only 299-305 in sport#.
Some rolling roads say it makes no difference if in sport or sport #.
It shouldn't but it did.
Mine and my mates had same issue. Took 2 years to sort out.

Tony

I bought Hughy's old car 3 years ago but felt very slow with the 340 pro r kit. On roller's it was 326 bhp so I got it forged with sc46 turbo and so on. It now runs 420/420 but still isn't as quick as my 2003 spec C running 360/360 but feels show much more grown up lol.

Your gain though.
Why not now get it wrapped satin white? It'd be like a new car for only about £2k
