I always wondered what that meant.
OK Nik, I know you're being funny

I christened my car the ICBP, or intercontinental ballistic plum, due to its missile-like speed on the highway, and the colour, which is Black on Bordeaux or Guinness over Shiraz, whatever you're having yourself.

I fitted a new TPS at exactly 0.5 volts, but I still get a throttle flare going from 2 to 3. Happens all the time on a light throttle, so now, I drive in Power mode all the time, which increases the revs at which changes happen, and so increases the line pressure, so I don't get slippage. At the moment, my gearchanges are a little jerky in power mode, but no code is shown, so I'm not sure what's causing it.

Oh, and my Ballistic Plum is now clocking up to 180K kilometres
