Quick update. No more trackdays yet but we are looking at end of month or early August as we have been working through a few issues since Snetterton. First off was the headgasket, then started slowly losing power until engine would mis-fire then only rev to 3000rpm which was the fuel pump failing at only putting out 1.5 Bar pressure when hot, next was the engine check light for a failed IMA sensor then a week later check engine light again for the ambient pressure sensor. Anyway touch wood been to various Classic and retro meets with the car getting a lot of interest for a Rover and no more faults :laughing2 We even won "Car of The Show" at Auto Linked rolling road event which meant we had to go on the Rolling Road :S
