They are both 02 sensor (post cat) codes according to the list. Maybe a duff lambda sensor?

One was a high voltage reading on the O2 not sure about the other, hope its sorted for next week at Donnington.

Hi Simon that would be me no problem at all. I am sure that I will catchup with you again. Thanks Ken.

From the S2 book

P0138 is circuit high voltage in post cat sensor
P0141 is heater circuit malfunction in post cat sensor

should be a duff lambda sensor then

Great but expensive decision by me to fit R888s in the morning which btw were awesome!!

Very happy with the car today. Damn does a passenger make a huge difference!! Going from one to not having one is night and day.

Thanks for a great session everyone - nice to find so many friendly people. Apologies to you ExigeKen as I think you asked me for a passenger ride too, and I completely forgot. That and missing the last hour through a broken exhaust. Would be delighted to meet up locally if you want a ride-out on the road instead.

Admittedly I didn't spin in the warm up, but I did on a cooling down lap.... doh!! Lack of concentration and suddenly the windscreen was full of Subarus (well it would have been if I had a windscreen) taking avoiding action on the way out of the hairpin. I think I could actually hear them laughing as they went by....

Many thanks to Andy G for all the helpful advice, and the diplomatic way he put it across that I was often in completely the wrong place on the track! Looking forward to seeing how his 245 Atom goes later in the year.

Hi yes please I would love to go for a spin locally. Please just give me a shout and we can meet up some time. It was good meeting you and stalking you on the motorway. Some of the looks we were getting from other cars were amazing. Your car is fabulous.

Cheers,

Ken.

Great day folks . . . even if the weather was a bit dull!

Was good to catch up with you all for the first time this year. Good banter as always!

Big thanks to Kenny and George for the pax laps. George, that was one of the most exhilirating experiences in my life! The Atom is awesome!

Thanks!

Got my wheels balanced by Ronnie at Wheelsaround while I was there today as I'd been getting lots of vibration through the steering wheel when at high tuts. What a difference! It's so smooth again now! Definitely helped for Kenny and I keeping up with a Porker 911 on the way back on the M8!

Ronnie charged me £20 for all four wheels . . . MMC wanted about £60 for two!!!

Massive thank you to AndyG for the use of the laptop and ECU connector thingy for my MIL light coming on. My code was P0171 "System too lean", which I assume is related to the new Hurricane induction kit. Lotus told me the ECU would recalibrate itself due to the increased airflow. The MIL stayed off the rest of the day, but will probably give Lotus or Dan a shout for some advice. Really appreciate your help Andy . . . you're a gent!

Oh, and as expected, Kenny and I got a bit lost on the way out of your street, but eventually found our way!

Had a lot of fun today, possibly the most fun trackday I've done so far

Even managed to keep it in a straight line and on the black stuff which was the biggest concern beforehand!

I've posted some of my video footage over in the thread in the gallery section, will post up some more tomorrow when I get a chance.

They didn't red flag the session when the Golf went off. I was a couple of cars back when the Scooby spun and the Golf went off. All on camera.

I was the silver Evo behind the white one.

Anyway great day, the Evo is so much fun in the wet.

And sliding round the hairpin, Mcintyres and Clarks was a right hoot.

Hope you enjoyed your pax lap Andy and hope you cars not too expensive to fix Paul.

Well I hope you all enjoyed yourselves, I had a much more fun day.

Got up early to get MOT and find out my car is busted again. This time leaking brake pipe so no can drive it, multitude of other thigns inc suspect HGF on the way. Brilliant.

THEN I got to spend the afternoon and the start of the rugby picking / designing wedding invites.

KH has nothing on the Daintree papershop ....

I was talking about the lap after that one. There were red flags out and I'd already passed the chequered flag so it was the last lap anyway.
