Tractor Boy

Good news, Mes, hopefully that's the end of it Nothing worse than something like that gnawing away at the back of your mind. Now back to enjoying h̶e̶r̶ him!*


*They're girls, they're all girls! :smile:

Hahahahaha. Love the strikethrough mate. Still can't get used to it being a "him". Girl's car, what can I do?

Yeah hopefully the end of it. Still needs mapping. I'm sure the ECU has been given a lot to deal with recently. Hopefully it's just learned "oh yeah, this is much better" and we can just get on with it now.

:smile:

Ha, it's always going to feel weird a guy calling a car 'him' :smile: but as yours is a girl's car, you can't really argue with it :wink: Hope the ///M is a lass :smile:

Fingers crossed that's all it is, Mes. You just don't need little things like that 'spoiling' the experience, not when you've added so much good stuff recently :hearteyes:

Thanks fella. If it carries on behaving we'll go and get it mapped. I'm sure that will help the experience a bit.

And yeah, the M is a she, obviously :smiley:

Sorry mate. We had glorious weather over the weekend down in Ramsgate, was too nice not to share! :smile:

Equally MESmerized by the Blue car and the Blue sky !!! :smile:

Great stance here........

:smile: Thanks Shuv, RB looks ridiculous in the sunshine huh? It's like SO blue your brain can only just handle it!

As for the stance, 100% function over form, it's just a nice bonus that it sits nice. So pleased with it.

Gawjus!
Why can I not get mine to look like that when I take a pic from the side? [emoji848]

Taa Micah, and yours is the same, you just need to get down low and angle upwards very slightly.

Could have washed it ffs! :wink:

Sorry mate! You'll be pleased to hear it got a wash a couple of hours later! :wink:

Cracking photo Mes! Ol' Tractor Boy is looking sharp there :thumb:

Thanks Jimmy! Couldn't resist a quick shot when I saw the colour of the car against the sky!

oh no..not the best of news but repairable..still i would be smiling since you have your new addition on your drive :thumb:
hope it doesnt cost you too much..keep us updated
 
@Pav @Big Ben cat is buggered. Can't see it being repairable.

Almost certainly going to need a new one sadly. One of the very worst things to fail. Really pissed off about it. It's going to be about a grand all told.

Really annoying thing is that it's running absolutely fine. It just won't pass an MOT.

Yet the road is full of VW cancer wagons that are ok. And busses. And taxis. etc. etc.

Nothing we can do though.
 
So only option a new Renault manifold then??

Pretty much mate. Well, there's another option of putting a secondary cat in the Akra but obviously that's not happening, even though it would be a fraction of the cost. It's just bloody painful mate.

Mostly gutted for Mrs M. She was dead close to having full retrim money saved up. Obviously that's going to be mostly swallowed up now.
