Hi ladies and gents.

Recently my car has been a lot slower than usual. It feels low down on boost. I've checked all the hoses etc etc and the only thing I can think of/pinpoint is that the actuator has become slack after 130k miles.

All I need is for someone to chuck on a boost gauge, check what pressure it's blowing at, and if necessary play with the actuator.

Do any of you S/C lot know a decent garage or 'bloke' that could do this for me please? If there is anyone on PH that could do it then beer tokens would be available! (any man-love will be provided by ironictwist)

Thanks thumbup

P.S-if anyone ones of someone who'd paint my calipers that would be awesome! It's just not possible now I live in a flat etc etc.

I'm hoping the 'offer' on facebook still stands whether it involves cars or not!

Having seen your most recent photo, you might have rather 'specialist' taste, even for me wink
