    blue 197 a421

    Hey Mike, I think I saw you today (at the last minute again) on the same stretch of road at 7pm. Let me know if there's any meet ups planned around (closer than 50 miles would be great :p). I've already seen in MK a red 200, the blue cup 197 with spoiler (probably yours Glenn), a...

    blue 197 a421

    No worries ;) I've ordered some new fancy stuff today: ATE Super Blue brake fluid and HEL braided lines :D So I think I'll probably bring my car to Danny (I'm definitely not qualified enough to do any tip-top work on the brakes... and also too lazy :lol:). I'll also have to collect a set...

    Strange loss of power after a few miles

    No warning light, nothing on the dash. Yeah, odd :blink:

    Strange loss of power after a few miles

    Alright, I'm gonna buy one of these cheap odb2 on ebay and see what's going on. My guess is it's "just" an electronic or sensor fault as it's disappearing on the restart. But yeah, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap :tomato: If a remap will solve the issue, well, it's gonna be 2 birds in...

    Strange loss of power after a few miles

    Thanks Robo :) So it seems to be a minor issue, that's a relief (just spent 1.7k a few months ago for the cambelt and a few but expensive other things the previous owner had screwed :001_unsure:) Are you referring to an ODB2 to get the fault code? Cheers mate :)

    Strange loss of power after a few miles

    Hi guys :) I have a very strange problem with my 197 lately: after driving a few miles, something is suddenly triggered (I can hear a "clac") and I'm losing a lot of power and the exhaust is louder in high rev. The solution I have when it's happening is just restart the engine and everything...

    blue 197 a421

    Ok no problem, I have an oil change to be made and sealant to be applied on some leaking rocker cover bolts but can't do that at my place as there's no flat ground :001_unsure: And I will also have to understand why I have a big loss of power after 2-3 miles of driving (only way to solve it is...

    blue 197 a421

    Tbh I'm quite tempted by the trax event (15min from my place and I know a couple of shortcuts to avoid all the traffic of the A43 ;)). Have you planned to go on the track or just stay on the stand? I'll have to see if my misses fancy it as well. I'll go in holidays in a couple of days, but...

    blue 197 a421

    Thanks :) Yeah I'm living in MK and commuting on the a421, so I often see 197s and 200s but it seems no one from here so far. I'm also doing trackdays so hope to see you on the track as well ;)

    blue 197 a421

    Hey Mike, That was me yesterday :) I wasn't really awake so I realised it was a 197 mate coming the other way at the very last moment ;) I don't think it was me the 1st time as my car doesn't have a spoiler and it's not a cup (even if my wheels are so dirty that they look like cup alloys ^^)...
