    Looks like it's a hardware issue. I've taken the dash off and run it without this fitted, no issues. So it looks like it could be overheating. I can't see why, it has plenty of air flow around it.

    They seem to hide extra costs well! I took out a policy asking for agreed valuation and listed the mods on the phone, plus the values. Only to find out later, I had to pay extra to get it all fully covered. Cant say I was impressed.

    What Spark plugs

    I got mine from Toyota and they were a similar cost to above, plus they are matched to the engine and ignition system. After 30k they old ones looked brand new. I only changed mine as I had the engine apart for other reasons. You don't need to lift the engine out or rock it on the mounts.

    Brake pressure bleeder

    If not, I've been using one of these for about 10 years: https://www.screwfix.com/p/gunson-brake-bleeding-kit-14-piece-set/33881#_=p
  5. I've bought a Cosworth kit from them direct, about a month ago. It's a very good kit and support. You do get some whine and can be heard fine with the stock exhaust. I've gone for the smaller pulley and there's no overheating issues.

    Has anyone had an issue with this head unit? Mine runs for about 90mins maybe a bit longer, then re-boots and I'm left with the attached screen. When I plug in a USB keyboard and select try again, it's fine and starts running okay. Any ideas?

    Noise cameras

    Ooo interesting, sounds like the re-tune is on the rich side and could be effecting them, or they don't have enough scrubbing power for that richness. I'm FI.

    Hopefully. I'm not making any changes until I'm directly effected. They struggle to enforce the non use of mobiles, I can't see how they can police this too. Far to much work compared to obvious infringements!

    Problems when N/A or FI? If the tune is to rich, the cat won't like it and cause it to not work 100%

    It was recommended on here.

    Yep, road legal for emissions. I'm running and ACE 4-2-1 manifold, BERK high flow cat.

    Noise cameras

    I tested mine today with my phone. I calibrated the app before in a quiet room as it suggested. The phone was placed on a block of wood, level with the exhaust 3m away. The background noise was approximately 45-50db. Cold start max was 68db (auto throttle blip on the data log was 1926rpm) and settled at about 60db. Half throttle up to 4000rpm then held, peaked at 82db and settled at 75db. This is only a crude test I know, but not that loud as first thought. I did also hold the phone up to one side, right by the exhaust and it didn't go up by much.
  13. Fair enough. There's a black BRZ round near the interchange too, I pass this regularly.
  14. I've seen it too, not today though. Do you live close to the interchange?

    I'll try this and see what figure I get.

    Ops, 74db is the current limit in the UK. The cameras are going on a 7 month trial and Grayling is good at mucking things up, so we have time.

    I've got a decatted manifold and Berk replacement 2nd cat. Yeah, they are also clamping down on stock supercars in the states. I think its 100dB there.

    Noise cameras

    I looked up the law and there's just a dB value. Not any information on RPM, distance or anything useful. They have been enforcing it in places in Europe, but it varies from a telling off, to loosing your car for 3 days. This includes stock exhaust system on Lamborghinis, Ferraris and McLaren's, looking at the impound list. I plan in getting away with it while I can, I have a resonated cobra exhaust while it's fine at normal driving, put your foot down and it's fairly loud.

    CEL 4-2-1 decat advice

    If it does come back, take the 2nd o2 sensor out and have it in free air. All it needs to do is get a different reading from the 1st.

    Mine died after 6months. It managed to eat the operating systems and wasn't recoverable! There are better resolution options.

    Is that what ANT lead on the FM connector is for?
