Bro, handsworth? That place is as ghetto as they come!
My inlaws live in Greenford. And I visit them quite often  :wink:

Got my DV and cam follower to do and I to be honest I don't trust any garages round here to do my cam follower. I'll be surprised if they even know it's an issue with these cars.

Yeah it used to be bad 20 years ago but all the riff raff low life scum have either been locked up or dead. I lived there fr 30+ years and now live in another ghetto in east London ffs can't escape  :signLOL:

I'd be happy to replace both your cam follower and dv if you're up for a trip to London when visiting your inlaw's.

I should have a whole week off from the 22nd of this month of they agree at work. Really need some time off for family time and relax a little.

ps hope you've gone for the GFB DV + and you won't need to even replace that again???.

My relatives lived just off Soho road, I spent a lot of time there when I was young. Ghetto it may be but the locals were really nice people. I remember a car thief who was notorious for breaking into cars within minutes they called him "hands of Handsworth"

I'll send you a pm when I'm going to be down next :happy2:

I bought the revision G, didn't know about any other one. I'll have to get that one next as I'm going to get the car remapped at r-tech soon and I'm sure it'll split again!

oh sh*te  :signLOL: I called him flappy hands  :signLOL: and nearly stabbed him for breaking into my brothers car. he never touched my renault turbo with 2500 worth of alpine stereo equipment as he knew who I was.

I bet I know your cousins  :signLOL:

oh no a member has split his twice already. I just read this earlier on.  :surprised:

Just replaced my diverter valve by a local mechanic he knew exactly what it was and replaced it within 15 minutes. And boy! What a difference it's made!

Look at the state of the old valve! It's the worst I've seen!
