Cheers guys for the advice and tips. I went out last night and belted up a few hills. Really odd feeling, driving a motor you fixed yourself. I couldn't help going through all the pipes and connections in my head as I put my foot down!!! It's my first proper bit of mechanics, besides putting water and fuel in!!! :roll:

I did the fifty mile drive to site/work today! Luckily I had nobody behind me for most of the way there. A bit smokey on the hills, but I kept the revs low and it seemed to work. Hit the motorway and it was fine!

Only a little bit of blue/white smoke as I floor it now. Theres still a bit of oil in the pipe from the intercooler. I'll whip the lot off this weekend and clean it.....or go for a surf??? Hmmm, I'd rather freeze my nuts off in big waves. :boxing:

Thanks again for the help.

Si
