They recommend bringing it in (no supprises there) but they're intnding to put it on their Dyno and simulate the exact problem with all their dianostic equipment pluged into it. He's not intending to do it just yet but i'll ask him when it gets done.

Hmmmm...
Dyno run: £70 Minimum...
ECU Re-map: £30...
Having a garage that actually knows what they are doing... Pricless!
For everything else, there's credit card bashing (unless it is under warranty
)
Alternatively, fit a
front fender extender: £17.99
Remove, clean & grease the front spark plug with non-conductive heat-proof grease, then re-fit...
Same effect is achieved without bashing credit card
Well worth a try first without shelling out loads of cash IMHO
