yep so a little update, because of my exhuberent driving style my poor k12 has stretched his chain. i've taken it my mate/mechanic and the car will be getting sorted this week, unfortunately because its easter it will take several days longer because of bank holidays. all plans for mods are on hold in case anything more serious develops and it becomes uneconomical for me to fix the car. i love k12s with a passion but boy do i wish the french had kept their crap out of them
