That wasn't fixed!

...apart from that though its different car, all kudos to Lee, he knows his stuff and I couldn't be happier with what he has done.

Considering you had two failed injectors I'm not bloody surprised! Bet it drove like a diesel panda car before all that was fixed.

To be honest it seemed loose but not too bad, I had driven worse....previous owner and his mechanic must have been horrendous. It drives so well, doesn't leak and has more power than before. Sounds glorious now. So, so pleased. Just a little cold in there now.....
