Correct on both counts. However, I'm holding off until I get this hole in the exhaust plugged, and work out why efficiency is still generally down. bobby 'when I nod my head, you hit it' crispbox

Congrats on the 1000, Rob   
I get the same problem as this, usually in the summer months though (which implies temperature related). Think I'll have to give the intercooler a going over..... Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by TorqTune

I think it's probably back to normal now, it's difficult to be sure though because I don't drive the same routes or the same style as I used to, and I never take the roof rack off and rarely travel on road tyres. I think the biggest improvement came from the intercooler cleanout, but various software updates, plugging the hole in the egr pipes, the tune will all have had an effect.
I found a new route to work recently, speeds range between 10 and 80 depending on how much of the road ahead I can see. After doing this for a week I was averaging 19mpg  However, a run to Boughrood at ~55mph yeilded 27mpg which is alright for loaded vehicle with roof rack, MTRs and a beer fridge on constantly.
To be honest, I don't care any more. Now that it costs > £100 to fill it up, I've taken the alternative view that I might as well enjoy it

So what's the minimum that has to come out in order to be able to get a hose through to the back of the intercooler & rad?
Also, Who was it who had the GTR removal instructions? I'm guessing Wiggs as he has everything! 
Can you send over?
Cheers it! It's got a load of black bits on OK!!!
