      Also, although they're pretty good value, I've asked Belinda at Dark Ice Designs if they'd be willing to provide a discount code for FOC members for a small discount or free shipping or something.

    Yep, the dark ice designs. But i do not know, maybe there are some small differences between pfl and fl, if yours are OK.

    It is pretty spotless to be fair, I’ve only had her a week though!  I’ve noticed a high pitched ‘beep’ which lasts for about 20-30s after you turn the ignition off, I’ve no clue what it is. I may start another post about it cos it’s bugging me, as is the small diameter pipe just hanging under the back of the car. It seems to come from behind the NSR wheel arch liner

    They all make that whine after switch off, the PCM tests a few things once the ignition is turned off, it cycles the EGR open and closed 4 times for example.

    Cheers Ian. That makes perfect sense because that's one of the things I could hear, the egf cycling. Not that I knew it was the egf though lol.

    Yeah I get a light beeping / clicking sound after switching the car off. It made this noise once when plugging in the diagnostic unit and testing it so it must be what Tom said. When getting the injectors reconditioned my dad heard that clicking sound and was worried about it before I telled him it always does this and it stopped.
