    I just know from experience (a €1,600 experience!) :eek::eek:
    Car was kept in perfect working order and on a dyno run the oil pump failed badly. Luckily Joe had only begun bringing her up to speed on its 4th run so was able to cut it off without causing more damage. If I was on the M1 when that happened it'd be a lot worse.
    The point I'm making is that you can keep your car in perfect working order but you can't do anything about manufacturing faults, which was what happpened in my case.

    On the point of car parts are designed to be stressed to their limits, well no they're not. They are designed to perform within their limits. I work as an Engineer in manufacturing and did a Masters in FEA...basically designing components and analysing components for failure, so I'm not talking BS.
    You are right in saying there are margins of error, but margins of error are for the manufacturing process. I think you mean components have limits and those limits are conservative. Anyway thats just semantics.

    BTW I will be getting the remap done and will be on that dyno again ;) I just think people should know there is a risk involved, not just trying to argue with you tossy ;)

    Thats why you sign a dissclaimer form before your car is put on the dyno,that you know that the car is mechanicly sound,and that accept that if the cars fails on the dyno,then its not the mappers fault.;)

    You said it yourself,that part was going to fail sometime even if your car was never near a rolling road!

    True enough, it was going to happen sometime.
    I wasn't going to be running at full pelt on the M1 like it was on the dyno though ;)

    Same as myself, my alloys need to be straightened as they are causing the steering wheel to shake at 100km/h +

    So not sure about putting her on the dyno, I've been told it would be best not to. I'll head along anyway.

    Whats the best way to get to urban off the M50?

    I was only there the other day but I can't remember, I know we came off at Ballymount and went left. I have no idea from there! I'll let Onkle put up proper directions

    Change your back with your front wheels and your away in a hack!

    Come off the m50 at ballymount then follow this, its about 5minutes drive or half a "country" mile!

    Off the M50 at Junction 10, drive towards the Belgard Road, when you reach the Belgard Road turn left and then take the next left onto Airton Rd.

    About 500metres up Airton Road take the first left and follow the road, this will bring you to a junction, go straight across this junction and urban are in behind a small lawnmower shop there facing Power City

    Their probably the same, my next door neighbour had to get all 4 of his ford alloys straightened thanks to our lovely bog road back home.

    Gonna get them all straightened and refurbed at the same time.

    45 quid if it's less then 10 I think.

    There's 7 on the list for the dyno and I might put mine on too when the time comes. Isn't Matt Simms meant to be coming too?

    I've only just had the car on the dyno, so I might come around as a spectator. Unless I get the crazy idea to get the van dyno'ed to see what's left after 350000 km :)

    Had really hoped to go to this but have a dodgy wheel bearing on front left and of course ford in cork don't have any... looking like I might not have it before the weekend so I ain't gonna chance it.

    There's a 4WD dyno in Dunboyne. Doesn't help you in this case though.
