Hi Peter, and Thank you. Couple of dummy questions, axiel play, does that mean back and forth, like side to side or is that up and down. What is the ALDA things purpose in life? Could there be a slight popping sensation/noise when that starts to act up. Although I can't hear, while driving the past two days I thought I felt a kind of high frequency sputter almost like the exhaust had a hole in it (it doesn't, checked that). Only felt it at hi speed and under acceleration. Am I driving this thing too fast? 80 or so when I can get away with it which is most of the time. Does the ALDA function like a waste gate? I'll tear off what I can tomorrow and poke around. I don't know the history of the car and basically it appears to have been taken care of, i.e. no sludge in valve cover, pretty clean air filter and when I changed the oil the first time it didn't seem too thinned out. Pretty hard to gauge when you get a car with 166K on it already. Hope it's not the turbo because it looks like a miserable knuckle breaker to get out :-)
