Instead I put red SMD LEDs in my dashboard

Literally pee'd against the wind, tried to fit new lamps to my heater panel (didnt fit) and failed to get Vol-fcr to connect to my car..... Cable works ok (sorted out the comport issue) but hey ho.

No but we checked the lot and it's a healthy engine and car so it'll be around the 240hp mark. Remember it's the torque that gives the power. Got to say his map is second to none and knowledge wise he can't be beaten. He really knows his T4s
