Welcome to OOF. Have you chcked the coolant bottle on the drivers side inner wing to see if all the oil/water mixture has been flushed out properly ? It oftens takes a hell of a lot of flushing before its clear.Not sure it would really affect performance though,unless its causing overheating.

Hi Simon, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Hey. Thanks for the welcome guys.
 Took your advice and avoided a main dealer. I have a friend who was a mechanic at Vauxhall, so he will be taking my baby over Easter to work on. I think we will be changing plugs, cleaning ports etc. Basically going over evrything again since we changed the oil cooler!
I guess if that does not show much improvement i should be looking at some kind of diagnostics or a rolling road. Does anyone know if they are my best options for showing where your flat spots are?  :)
