Well perhaps more daft questions...
I've dropped my car off at SFR and Shane has given me a call, apparently there's 2 things that need fixing:
1) The performance was being affected because 2 of the throttle pots weren't performing correctly. One was showing 16% and the other 20% (I think). Erm, what exactly is a Throttle Pot? and what % should it be at?

2) The knocking underneath which I thought was an exhaust problem is because the anti-roll bar brackets had broken. Shane says this is really unusual and might have happened if someone had driven quickly over a speed bump. I've had the car 6 weeks and definitley not, altho I have 'grounded' the car once. Anyone had this problem, and any thoughts about how likely it is to happen again?

Cheers

Pots can be set anywhere between 15 & 20%, as long as they are both equal & the adaptives throttles are balanced, it's not a problem.

Can't help with the roll bar. From speaking to Shane, he seems to know his onions (ex tuscan engineer?)
