Rolling Road Prep?

[Tom163]

Got a Rolling Road power run booked tomorrow to see if I am close to the stock BHP I should be. Was thinking is there anything I should do before hand etc?? this is my first one.

I have made sure all fluids are at the correct levels, all the wheels are on and tight and there is no developing problems.

Anything else I should look or do?

Cheers
Tom

correct tyre pressures , maybe clean air filter but only if its very dirty.

[Tom163]

Cheers mate, will do!

tighten your throttle cable at the throttle body

[Tom163]

How do I do that mate? and why?

Very carefully and only if necessary, overtighten even slightly and it can make your throttle stick on slightly when you lift off, brown trousers if that happens...ive been there,lol

adjust it up till the revs are affected then knock its back 2 quater turns and then blip the throttle n check its settling okay, had 15 rovers this week alone with slack cables n mad e agood difference to all them, if you look at the throttle body youll see the cable, and a plastic nut clipped into the bracket there, feel the cable n it will probably have a lot of slack in it, pop the nut out and wind the majority of the slack out the cable, clip back in, then start turnoing it a quater turn at a time till the revs are affected, then knock back the way say usually 2 or 3 quater turns and blip the throttle and make sure it settles properly

a bit late now I know, but apparently VPower can make 5bhp more once its fully in the system

[Tom163]

Yeah lol, I always run it on Sainsburys premium 99 octane day to day and V-Power when funds allow lol. Would it really gain anything on a 1.6 though? I just use it for the engine cleaning property's.
