    Tonight my S broke down. Not once but twice... basically went to pick my wife up after work and then the car cut. No warning or lights...
    Turned the key and fired straight up.. run for a few miles and off again..

    So got right to the forth bridge and stopped just at the slip on the northbound side. Maybe some people seen me?? There were lots of mini passing and plenty of folk having a good look.
    So 2 1/2 hours later dropped the car of at garage. Possible map sensor fault. Foot flat to the floor Nd the car stalls every time. Lol

    Yeah as above sorry the cars not playing ball, hope it's an easy fix
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    On the upside, map sensors are cheap


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    On the R53 they're on the inlet manifold, £10ish from the stealers IIRC
