In an attempt to get my avg consumption under 11.5l/100 - i removed my pod and put the airbox back in. Also bought a K&N high flow panel filter to fit.

It will be interesting to see what effect this has on your economy.

Yeah. I have no real basis for confirming it will affect it in anyway, but as its a ~20 min swap, I thought it was worth a go.

Iv thought about doing the same but the induction sound when reving out is stopping me.

Yeah, see, there may be a counter affect of removing the pod - I'm now driving a little harder to get the car to make *any* kind of noise.

Took mine in to try to track down the annoying noise in the drive train. It seems to be coming from the tri star on the left of the gearbox.
But nothing conclusive. It goes back next week when there is more hoist time. The axles will be removed from the box to isolate things a bit.

I also noticed the bolt holding the swaybar drop link to the control arm was missing, that was a quick fix.

Hey Geoff,

Why did it have to be replaced? What did you replace it with?

Thanks,

Long story short, initially it dropped a washer or something inside between R & 1st. That was repaired, and then about 6 weeks later 5th sheered off the other end while I was cruising on highway. May or may not have been a result of the first repairs when it was stripped down and reassembled, result was it got replaced with a 2ndhand EVS off another wreck under insurance.

Do you mean insurance from the gearbox repairers?
