Did you do this on a rolling road or where you really driving at 40mph watching your clocks through a camera for 2 minutes? :shock: :shock:

He must have been on a rolling road, like I was when I took me avitur :arrow:

Don't the 2.2's need timing chains at 100k ? :P

Thank f*ck for that, I'd hate to think you were a pair of nutters driving along taking pictures of your dashes while you're meant to be looking where you're going :shock:

His fuel gauge looks like it's gone up a tad too. Now there's a suprise, a Peugeot fuel gauge which reads what it wants! :lol:

I obviously had the car on axle stands to take the photo.

As for the timing belt, needs to be done on the 2.2 at 96k, I had it done last year.
