Lmao fair enough ! Cheers mart. Embarrassing moment today as came to pull off at a junction and couldn't get the Lude into gear so had to push it to side of the road. It was what I suspected which was low dot3-dot4 fluid lmao

Hey up Ben,

Mine was the same when I had that exhaust on, your set up is almost identical to what I had. I used to get little puffs like that when I let off. If I let off just after hitting vtec I'd get pops, bangs and flames. I always put it down to over fuelling on overrun. :)

That's good to know! Mine pops and bangs too, sounds good for how much I've paid for the system !

Good news for the Lude, passed the m.o.t . only had one advisory which was the boot covers for the upper control arms on the rear so changed them myself yesterday. And there was me worrying that is was gonna cost me a lot :D

Just a quick question, hopefully someone will know. Since I had the car off my dad the petrol low warning light hasn't come on and ive took the car to empty where it wouldn't start. The needle still works. Ive changed the bulb but still nothing ? Any ideas ?

Just a guess, but maybe the float inside the petrol tank seized or something
Mine is the same no low fuel warning light anymore :?

Cheers will just have to keep her topped up. Does anyone have or know someone who has got the passenger rear caliper or both rear calipers as my left side rear has seized up again :(

Hi everyone, anyone got a straight through exhaust ? Is it better for power or does it need back pressure
