Yes of course. I was intent on giving the (repaired) link arms between the replaced sensor and the suspension wishbone a good working out going over the humpty backed bridge. There was no doubt that I managed to get a difference in compression of the front and rear suspension units during the take off and landing so I was probably not taking careful note of the speed....

Either that, or your speed limiter is faulty as well! Must have been that 'man flu'. Hello from Berlin BTW. Had a great 'spot' - will post the photo on my return. How are you David - I've been c***p all week.

there is a huge VAG showroom in Berlin Jim, worth a look if you get time, only place I have ever seen a Veyron in the flesh, actually looked much smaller than I expected

not sure why pictures are not showing properly?

uummm! would it have anything to do with the title of the thread? I repaired one of mine by making a metal plate which I then superglued to the side of the broken plastic arm. This has worked for 2 years or so so far.
