Hello, I swear forums make you paranoid,

I must admit the more I read forums and the Facebook groups the less I feel confident in driving mine!  :driver:

Facebook also makes people feel paranoid about bowel cancer  :grin:

You can always rely on the internet to completely over blow a small thing into a wallet bursting 'common problem', when the reality is very different  :smiley:

If people understand how cars and engines work, and have even a modest tool selection, nothing on these cars is unsurmountable or THAT expensive.......unless you blow the engine from too much boost.
