I eventually found a seating position that works too
.Still to do:
Very obvious that whilst still legal the TRE's need done and new rubber bought for the front.
I've got a rattle that sounds like either it's heat shielding or is part of the exhaist baffles / resonantor come loose - only there under accel-deceleration / idle - (slightly).
Also, at stationary I have an 'engine' smell getting sucked into the cabin with the aircon. I've replaced the cabin filter (which was disgusting) but it's making no difference. I'm thinking either a small oil leak somewhere landing on hot pipe or an issue with the EGR system.
Then there were the fault codes, only appeared on the way home from Glasgow when it was chucking it down so I'm partially thinking that there may even be a bit of an electrical / wiring issue in regards to moisture. Pics attached.
Still, really enjoyed the car - took it up to 6K a couple of times and it pull consistently all the way, not blistering of course being a 2.0 but fun enough.
Time to start working through these codes amd maybe start on the roof too - time permitting!
. I'm going to get into it when time allows, hoping its maybe a weepy rocker gasket leaking oil onto the manifold causing the smell.
It all counts!!
