busabeast Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Well on Tuesday I think I may have had a steal of a job. So the jag kept going in to reduced performance, had been for months but having an icarsoft lr2 computer I would just clear the code and carry on as normal, well it got to the point that it would go in to reduced performance at the slightest hint of throttle so something needed doing. So I figured I'd buy the intake manifolds and injector seals to do the job and over a couple of weekends I'd have it done, long and short of it is I never found enough time what with skye always wanting my attention when I'm home so I thought I know I'll speak to a mate of mine see if he would do it for me. He said yeah no bother £300 which I was over the moon with as it is a pig of a job. So anyway I dropped the jag off at his last Monday and he finally finished the job off about 45 mins before I turned up to pick it up. 6½ days it took him to replace them and that's someone who works on cars all day every day. The job should have cost me minimum of 800 to 1000 quid, so to say I'm over the moon at the price is an understatement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Weather's going to be decent today......but I'm stuck in the house. Getting back on by Xmas Day isn't an option, so it's likely to be the New Year for me. Frustrating, but I can't risk any setbacks......I just want to put this behind me once and for all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah try not to rush it mate, for the sake of a few more weeks recovery there's no point in trying to get back on pushing yourself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been suffering from havetospendtimewithfamilyitis, It's a ghastly affliction that comes with working all the hours god sends then when I'm not working I don't have any time to myself because they want me to spend time with them. And when I do have the time to get out on the bike for the odd hour it's either pissing with rain or freezing cold or both or I'm too tired and can't be arsed to get kitted up for the 20 minutes I'll have to myself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
