Hi all, thought I would see if we can get the Devonites chatting and get some things happening. Loads of Scoobs in Devon so let's get together and go for burbles etc.
Amazing how folks can pull together when they want to, just a shame there seems to be little that can be done legally. Maybe Trading Standards would be interested, down here in Devon they deal with scams.
Be interesting to know how many 2.0 engine failures there are. I have heard of more of them around these parts than 2.5s. In fact never yet seen a 2.5 going kaput in these parts but know of at least 8 2.0s. It will depend on how you treat it and what you have done to it if you have not done a good job on it. I expect it is the nature of the beast with performance cars and their engines.
Mine is still going strong!
I will be busy getting my motorbike festival ready the following weekend down here in Paignton - hint hint anyone who can spare some time to help raise money for kids charities!!!
Not had a problem with mine in the 6 years I have owned it and it is on 47k miles now. It is also pushing out 27% more power and 45% more torque than standard and been like that for a year with no problems. Go 4 it, you will enjoy the extra grunt of the 2.5!
What I meant was that you do not really need to vent the fuel cap, but I thought you might have been muddling it all up with replacing the brake pads blah blah blah - anyway I know what I mean.
oh, that is for brake systems really, but no probs doing it for fuel as well though. I reckon if your fuel tank was pressurised you might have a problem, lol.
