Right so I thought I'd take a look at the rear fog as I wanted to sort out the reversing light as it hasen't worked for ages. Removed the bulb holder from the clutser and felt something snap? When I had a closer look the cluster was fulll of water and the bulb was floating about in there :roll: The bayonett bit was still stuck in the holder :lol:

Just cleaned up the bulb holders, filled the clusteres up to the top with water and found out where the water was comming in from resealed everything and now both clutsers are on the radiator drying off :)

84.9bhp and 90.7FtLb at the Wheels and 106.7bhp at the Flywheel :D
Considering it was 99bhp at the fly standard, thats not bad :lol:

When I first saw 84.9 I was distraught... Didn't realise it was wheel figure :lol:

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
