Ha ha! I presume from your avatar that the yellow ones are mysteriously the fastest of all, right?

Ah well, I'll just have to settle for second fastest then. I might try some yellow leathers, perhaps that might partially speed things up :lol:

Thanks again for the lovely welcome everyone :biggrin 8) :thumbup:

Aha thanks to forum search look what I turned up:

Small world!

Depends what the PO changed it to - some folk chuck on a cheapy chinese £15 R/R of ebay and think job done - at minimum ensure it's a later OEM upgraded finned R/R as fitted to '01 models and later. Better still a mosfet...
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
