Was sitting there trying to figure out what OSIR meant 
Thanks for clearing that up for me and thank you for the info.

only to discover that after 10 or so miles the wiper wash died.

the rear wiper for a little while was only coming out a little then after about 5 seconds of holding the rear wash it would come out faster.

then the fronts decided to die on me completely. they spluttered out for the first wash and the subsequent attempts were futile! the pump sounds but no water. maybe a pipe has come off? got home at 8, watched top gear will have a look in the morning to see if i can see anything but im hoping its not a front bumper off jobbie!

also, i had to buy a bottle of water to shower the screen with once we stopped to swap drivers at the services! 

Mine dumped out all it's water once. A pipe had come unconnected at the bottom of the washer reservoir. It was right behind the drivers side foglight cover. Think it had just worked loose over the years. Not sure if that's what has happened to yours though.

He's local to me. Met him last year when he was having a good look at my car and I asked if he was into performance cars. He just grinned and walked off around the corner and then came back in the Carrera and gave it some welly for my benefit. You're right, TC - The sound is absolutely amazing!! Gets to you right in the chest! I was on a high for days!

RR thats a great picture you got there, bet it must have cost the guy a ffffffortune that car,
next time ask if he will swap cars for a day 

Replaced the fuel filter and all is back on target. Intake air mass is up from 210 g/s to 248 g/s, low fuel pressure after 6k rpm is up from sub 4.0 bar to greater than 5.0 bar. High rail pressure is up from sub 120 bar to greater than 130 bar. Looks to have maybe gained 15 hp by turning down the boost from 23.5 psi(over specified) at redline to 18 psi(equal to specified) at redline, and then by replacing the 6.6 bar filter.

....He didn't buy it new but it's not his only supercar. If you met him you wouldn't think he had the money. Just another petrolhead

I thought that my tequila was going to be a new lpfp in the tank ;p
Turns out that bringing the boost down got the ecu to request some of the lost fuel pressure and the new filter made the ecu raise it even more. Really happy that I don't have to replace the lpfp just yet.

Nice car! Don't see many of them around. So exclusive some of them can cost more now than when new!

yes, thats what it was! removed fog grille and the pipe was off!

why didnt the car say washers were empty tho?

still doesnt seem right, the back screen washer is flimsy to say the least and the fronts dont seem right either, the drivers side only comes half way up the screen where the passenger is normal. cant see debris clogging up the jet. my bro says ive burned the motor out because its been "over used" as i like a clean screen. maybe a bit OCD
