I noticed on my last long drive to Bournemouth and back over the weekend that the car seemed quite flat with no real shove, but put it down to it being a lot warmer but then over the week it became more apparent that it was like it was a n/a car.
Last night I jacked it up and look underneath...
I used a drill and some more flap wheels, starting with 40 grit and used a bit of sponge behind the flap wheel to keep the 'dust' down before using 80 grit, 120 grit and then finally a microfibre cloth wrapped round the flap wheel with some brasso to polish it up a bit.
I also then used the...
Plus One. Take your time and at least wait until it's warmer and less inclement. I know from experience rushing back to the gym too soon after an injury and then simply extending the recuperation time. Definitely not in the same league as having your sternum cracked open but the premise is...

Passed recently on the M1 before trading places a couple of weeks back, it sounded lovely.
Yep I know that as my son drove to Bosnia a coupe of years back in the company CT200h and maxxed it out on the derestricted part of the Autobahn for miles, I think he managed 119 mph. I know France is very hot on fines on their Autoroutes but I had to double check the 140km/h as it about...
Nothing done really apart from another thrash to Liverpool and back on Saturday.
One thing I have noticed from these trips is that the car seems to run so much better after each drive and I do take the opportunity to give it the beans and bounce it off the rev limiter a couple of times in 2nd...
