T350C after 1 grand service

[valhalla]

We have Just got the T350C back from castle, and had most of the niggles sorted out, and some to be done at a later date.
We have nothing but praise for the team at Castle for a job well done!!
I was amazed at the performance now that i can start to put the pedal to the metal(or should it be Aluminium!!)
Thanks to Ian/Darren/Chuckie(he knows who he is !!!)and the rest of the team including Nick (the new boy).
Thanks again lads, Dave and Diane

I've just got mine back from Hexham Horseless Carriages after its 1,000 mile service. Same deal - most things sorted and parts on order for the rest (including new rear tailgate glass - current one really poor fit, Gurney flap thingy dropped off and the latest version is much better fit apparently). A big thank-you to all the guys (& Jill) at HHC!

The car is much easier to drive now plus lovely sound (slight popping on overrun, a staccatto note between gear changes when quick-shifting and a howl at higher revs) and with the change up lights set higher (gently does it!) goes like the clappers! This thing just gets better and better.

I was out in it yesterday (with the windows open of course) turning right at a junction and a bloke in a hatchback coming out clocked me and couldn't stop himself from just shouted "Oh My God, WHAT A CCAAAARR........!"

You had to be there!

Just a quick note to say I hit tha 1800 mark last night and I now have a different car yet again. When I hit 1000 mark and had service I thought 'what a difference'. But it's now coming into a different league altogether. The howl of the exhaust now kicks in at 4000rpm instead of 6000rpm.The torque is now on par with my old tuscan,what next?oh,and speedo just stopped working!!It just keeps on getting better

Nah mate - Mr Big has lined me up a nice weekend entertaining some of his old school friends and their kids - and you know how much I like kids

[deepdive]

So what rpm can you go to after the 1000 mile service then.

[Snakes]

There are 3 change up lights - green, amber and red. I'me using the following regime....

miles
1000/1500 3000 3500 4000
1500/2000 3900 4400 4900
2000/2500 4800 5300 5800
2500/3000 5700 6200 6700
3000/3500 6500 7000 7500

It may be a bit conservative, but I'm happy to bed it in gently.

I'm on 4800 miles and have used the following regime:

up to 1000 miles------ 3000 rpm

1001/4800 miles------ rev limiter

Well.. it's under warranty isn't it?

Shame on you! Picking on little cars. Go and pick a fight with someone your own size! Been doing some of that in Italy. Ferraris will play but Porsches don't want to know. Figures!

[Alf Essex]

Alan.
