So I can hear a fast rattle that comes on around 3k for a thousand (ish) revs

I'm imagining that is the plenum? Please tell me it's not the plenum.

most rattles on a rover are just down to p1ss poor tolerances.

even if the plenum rattles a little, as long as everything is attached and still operates smoothly I wouldn't worry, your problem is the vis motors and/or seized balanced flap rather than play in the ball & knuckles

Cool thanks, I'm still waiting for a response from peteT16 on the motors just thought it may be another thing in the way!

Didn't know the balance flap could stick. Can I throw some carb cleaner through to unstick?

sometimes the plastic becomes distorted and need a file to correct

Had mine done in Yeovil and got 194. Air filter mod de cat and stainless exhaust.

Had scooby done in January after a few mods and got 317bhp BUT the owner of the rolling road noticed that the inlet air temp blasting the front wasn't set correctly and stated we should be more like 330bhp just due to that. She don't half pop and bang too but ticks over silky smooth and quiet. A bit of a sleeper tbh.

Unless you have a front mount intercooler you will always get get high intake temps on a Scooby easiest way to sort that problem is to buy a Evolution .... Only having a laugh there btw

Can't get a nice Evo for £1700 though. Plus servicing. Ooooooooh!

The temp of the fan that they blow air in was wrong I believe? Still 317bhp was nice as we were only hoping to break 300

No unfortunately not need a another clutch for mine just the parts/ fluids are almost £1200

I'm thinking of getting 270 cams also and have been speaking to Peter Burchill on Facebook about it.
He says it's best to fit 270 cams with standard 180 pulleys and cam timing on a road car.
Anyway, Peter would be a good person to contact about 270 cams.

As a reference for you, my 180 dyno'd at 195BHP (corrected).
Spec was: standard 180 heads/cams. ITG Maxogen, Janspeed manifolds, Janspeed sports cat and custom built "Longlife" stainless exhaust.
Rolling road and remap was done at "AMD" in Thurrock, Essex. (They run a BTCC car!)

I'm about to upgrade to ported heads with 270 cams.

It's a shame you live so far from me, as I have a VIS tester.
I'm near Chelmsford, Essex.
