    Have you checked the fluid level? Low fluid level brings up that warning.

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    A friend who has just got a 275 was surprised how much better the top end is compared to his previous R26.

    I think Tom had previously mentioned using this for the ball joint with a little bit of grinding as per his post above. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/161912959504

    Hopefully as he seems to be a genuinely nice guy.

    MotoGP

    From the testing it looks fairly close. I hope Rins has a good year on the Suzuki. I have a nasty feeling Smith & Redding will disappoint and will not get seats for 2019.

    Removing swivels

    I would also get those ball joint splitters from Machine Mart. Saves a lot of hassle splitting the top ball joint and the other lower one on the wishbone.

    That is a superb price for fitting.

    Power expectations from near standard 197 set up

    That was what I meant. Usual for a car to be below the quoted power so with a few supporting mods and a remap 200bhp is realistic. Most people just remap to smooth out the flat spot.

    Demon Tweeks

    You can get them for a lot less than quoted above, but that was a 2/3 years ago and included free fitting or postage. This was with two of us buying the evolution system at the same time. Discount didn't increase for more than 2.

    Worth the price ?

    Not a huge premium for liquid yellow, but it may help it sell quicker. The comparison posted above is a basic cup model with standard seats so ought to to be cheaper. Personally I prefer the cup model, but most don't so the cups end up being a decent bit cheaper.

    Hard track driving vibrations through brake pedal

    I found carbotech XP10 better than DS1.11. all three are very good.

    Hard track driving vibrations through brake pedal

    As Paul says, I bet it will be pad material transfer. Standard pads or even mild upgrade like DS2500 are no good for track and can leave deposits that cause vibration. It will clear, but will take a few miles, otherwise skim the disc.

    Lower ball joint repair

    Was it just the lower ball joint pinch bolt that you failed with? What about applying a bit of heat?
