I've opened it up for anyone that's interested to see what’s inside. The heatsink is miles away from the chip and the thermal pad looks like it would act as an insulator, more than a conductor.

Credit card company is now involved, as the original seller has gone into administration. Yes it's "has" a 2 year warranty, but xtrons have said go to the seller and when I told them they had gone into administration (which they already knew), it's going to cost me £160 for parts.

I had a the pro elite and it's okay. Occasionally I manage to sound the horn, but I find if you park with the wheel so the tail of the lock is pointing to the window and the black lock part by the door, it's no worries. I got one because a Merc down my road got stolen, without the keys, as it's keyless entry and start. The other way to combat the keyless issue, it to keep them in a metal box.

What country are you moving to? I'm going through the same, as I'm moving to Spain in January for work.

I've been offered a new main bored, at the price of £160. Thanks Xtrons.co.uk 🙄

Car Audio Point had a Chinese national as a director and from digging about, they were Xtrons UK. Now I’m certain there’s no warranty, I’ll open it up and replace the thermal paste and see how it goes. The EAN Group email has given me a firmware update, built late 2018.

Be wary of buying a Xtrons head unit Mine has gone faulty after 9months and now struggling to get it fixed under warranty. The original seller has gone into administration, Car Audio Point, part of the EAN group. As when you search for EAN group it points you to Car Audio Point’s website, which has now gone. I contacted Xtrons directly via their website and I have been told by them to contact the original seller. The support emails are coming from EAN group. Xtrons claim their units come with a 2 year warranty, but this may not be the case anymore…. I’ll let you know of any further developments.

Have you got a lot of fuel on overun and it's igniting in the exhaust?

I did agreed value 6months ago, with the Cosworth charger and all new exhaust and it wasn't much more than that.

Nothing to do with the engine, it's injector or injector control. The noise you here will be one cylinder dieseling if the injector isn't firing, or not being told to fire, or the injector itself is making the noise, if it's not happy. The reason it's only at higher revs is you have 2 sets on injectors, high and low pressure, it's probably the high pressure one that's giving an issue.

I'd be interested to see this when it's done as a comparison.

This is interesting, I've not had to cut or dent anything for my fitment. I have a bit of hard rubber just to stop it wearing the paint.

I wouldn't part from my Cosworth charger, after having to make a similar choice. I fitted it myself about 6 months ago and and from an engineering point of view, it's very good indeed. Very good support too.

Mines the same from Roller Doors ltd.

You can get them 3d printed with full infill

I'm probably moving to Spain later this year. Does anyone know about having a modified car in Spain and what is permitted? So far I've fitted a supercharger and modified exhaust. I can either import my car or buy one there and transfer the parts (if I can find one, only found 2 GT86s online in Spain, so far).

I'd be interested for a 12-16 model. I can fit myself and can help others.

That's cheap for the plugs from the dealer! Mine were £85 the other month. Is that plus VAT?

They only check the pipework normally. Ifthe leak is integral to the compressor, they won't find it very easy. If you run your air con at least once a month for 30mins, you should be fine. Otherwise the oring seals dry up in the compressor and leak. The gas works as a lubricant.

Fair play. Is it N/A or forced induction?

If you do get to the point of wanting to order, I'm sure others would want bits too, me included, this may bring the costs down a little.

Wow tyres that often, you must push it really hard all the time! That or you are running a very soft compound of tyre. I spin up the rears on mine regularly, and don't go through them that quickly. How many miles do you get for £300?

What did they sell for originally?

The plunger in the bonnet is on a light bracket, I knocked mine a few weeks back. With one hand you can put it back in place.

The only thing that's changed in the time it's been installed, I've swapped the dash facia from the OEM 2 part plastic, to a 1 peace. The new is a snug fit, round the front, but I can't image that and the removal of a panel gap has caused extra temperature to be trapped? I've made sure all the cables aren't trapped up against the rear of the unit. I'm using the head unit amp.
