Thanks Andy ! Actually i got the badge panel off, new badge on with gasket and also sorted my broken electric window surround today. Not bad for a work from home day...... :oops:

Frenchy, My car is Zermatt silver - I always wanted a Zermatt car with black leather.

Clarks garage was very good at explaining where all the screws were as well.

You need some small 10mm and 8mm sockets as well as an extention bar and lots of patience. S2 owners keep their air filter under here so i guess taking this panel off shouldnt take long.

Good luck.

DPW and boost controller are still in there and the car boosts up to 1.8 Bar.
However, the bigger fuel pressure regulator and Authority chip set is in my garage at the moment.

Im waiting to find a mechanic who will take care of the car for me and understands the system.
Actually im going to see an ex F1 mechanic tomorrow and see if he can be my cars mechanic.

I will report back with findings and pictures. Fingers crossed.

Do you need some over the wire help with this? The 3bar FPR and APE chipset is not hard to do....and you could use you mechanics payment to buy more goodies :twisted:

Thanks for the offer CPR, but i am clueless about cars.
I need to start at the basics and then work from there. I will use Neil Garner to educate me in the basics and then move from there.

TBH - 220bhp is enough for me !
