Put new coolant in today, bled the brakes after the braided hoses were fitted... and fitted the freshly carbon wrapped trim ( which looks amazing next to the black paint)

And wow,

The engine is so strong, barely on boost and it's so fast.

I can't describe the grin I had when driving it, I love it.

nice.

Just follow the BGB to check the resistances, it took 5 min

Then I took it out, it was sticking, a load of carb cleaner/wd40/lubricant/penetrating oil chucked down it and wiggling the flap about sorted it out.
