      Aren't they trialling it on HGV's instead of limiters? [emoji23]

      • 5th gear mod now sorted... Took the opportunity to paint the gearbox end plate whilst it was off.

        Done some miles now;

        50mph - 2000rpm
        60mph - 2400rpm
        70mph - 2800rpm

        It pulls okay at low speeds, but the build up is noticeably slower. Need to try it out on a motorway or dual carriageway to report long hill performance - maybe A30 tomorrow.

        Oh, gear is an 0.62 on a TDI conversion with some mods (fmic, PD130 intake, decat and egr delete).

          That’s not far off my 2.5. 70 at 2600rpm. Why would you paint the end plate? Also, might be a SW meet soon!

            Cause I could! Painted it silver cause it looked a little tired...

            Yes, I read the thread. Depending on the weekend it sounds great - and I don't mind Somerset neither.

            We're off to Scotland end of this month for 9 days, so if we're about we'll make it! [emoji106]

                  • That's the same as mine mate, at least I know what ratio I have now [emoji106]

                    Sell my T4 !!! I'd rather stick wasps up my butt.

                      I want a canopy for overnight stays, something quicker than our full blown drive away awning...

                      • There's nothing like having the right tool for the job...



                        Makes front panel removal easy peasy! It was gifted to me by an ex AA mechanic, that poor sod had to work on T4's for a living... [emoji16]
