I am going to get him to give the car a full oil/fluids/filters service either this weekend or next and get him to give it a good once over. He mentioned the car had coded 30,000 km ago which coincides with the engine replacement story which is good. I feel relieved that i have a really good car even with no books and only a couple of receipts Very pleased indeedy.
It currently has Nankang S1 tyres on the car at the moment but I am not as impressed as I have been with the Bridgestones and Yokohamas that I have had previously but they are OK. Not very confidence inspiring but just OK

Thanks ferret. I get it now. I did notice it pushes through to 6500rpm Very nicely. Can't wait for the tune. Why does the triangular light on the instruments flash on at 3500 rpm?

Nifty feature if you care about that but I prefer not to labour the engine and sometimes it wants you to shift a bit prematurely for my liking . Judging by Shav's post I suspect this wasn't included on auto models?
