They're normally pretty bulletproof though Bri.

Yes I completely agree, but recently Andy bought a car with a huge turbocharger fitted, and the amount of lag is dreadful

Ah that would explain it.

Washed car yesterday, and today started to polish it in between watching qualifying for tomorrow’s F1. My son bought me a spray container of a ceramic finishing coat which I am trying. Evidently keeps the surface shine and protects against dirt getting ingrained into the paintwork. So far it seems to give it a bit more ‘slip’ than just the Autoglym.

What is this? (So I know not to remove it lightly)

I think it is a blanking plate. You have to remove it to get to the turbo I believe.

Mike Noc · 13th July 2019, 18:12

Yep it is an access plate for the turbocharger bolts on the diesel engines.

Booked in this morning for the 27th to get this baby (and the rest of it I haven't polished yet) fitted! Thanks Andy!

Can't wait as my current rusty one spoils the underside!

WOW! Very pretty back box you have there.

What is the make?

Its a Longlife cat back system originally supplied by Tony Banks.
