Played with mapping the gas map. Moved the dots up a bit so the green lime matched the blue line. Tickle here, tickle there.

Btw, hot start available on the latest software. :y

Must update mine... I'd meant to do it today but forgot ::)

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Phil adjusted the handbrake on the Vectra

and spent hours trying to repair ( temp) the  rear bumper on his VW Passat, which some stoopid oik decided to slam into on Tuesday night  when he finished work

its not our year is it.... first some idiot post office driver wrote off my lovely Miggy while we were on holiday in August

Then all the probs with the replacement 2.5 auto

and now this.... cant wait for this year to be over

hot start isn't so instant with adaptions on, for some reason. :-\

...I suppose it depends if it's looking at the petrol map or not?

Nope, been good as gold. But then, as yet, I haven't had a chance to get the lappy on it with a cold start anyway. I might have had a slight grump yesterday on the way home pooling in traffic when not fully warm... But it's been fine since your input. :y

Vap temp... Same as you witnessed iirc. :-\

Yep. Would be nice to see if my vap cools off when caning it, but seeing as the sensor has been replaced with a resistor... :-X

Fixed yesterday's breakdown, which was due to grit getting into the lift pump.

Also fixed the fuel cap central locking thingy which was out of alignment somehow. And fixed the number plate light (bulb).

Total cost for all the above - £0!

I do love fixing things for free.

MOT on my 3.2 - It passed with no advisories  :y
Alternator repair on Mrs VXL's estate - although I didn't do it so can't claim the glory!  :P
Oil and filter change on my DTi (4.5K  :-[)

So that's my day off work  ;D

Jumped started the dti and moved it from the back garden to the front garden, as part of the big clearance operation. The diggers and dumpers are due to arrive next weekend!  ;D ;)
