Chav is more simply explained as "Council Housed, and Vulgar".....

Says it all really....

In Scotland they are called Neds - "Non Educated Deliquents"......

It looks like Chav's are the equivalent ot "Tuners" over here in California. Take a honda and make it sound like an overpowered riding mower. Loost baggy clothing, and lots of gold chains. Lowered seats, fully reclined. You get the picture!

I love how even when talking about a "ghetto ricer" as we would say in America, you British still manage to make the person sound classy. Anyone being described as wearing a "burberry cap" in America could probably be classified as a distinguished gentleman.

The Queen's English, gotta love it. No wonder you guys get so much tail over here--you could probably call a girl a ***** right to her face and she'd think it was a compliment because of the way you'd say it

Hard to believe we even speak the same language--you would be appalled at how some people over here butcher it.

Of course, the English fellows on this forum all sound like Hugh Grant old chap - and we all know what he got away with!

Pip pip.

Default So Chav is bad, right?

I almost bought that exhaust tip with LED's, dodged that bullet.

UPDATE - Just swapped the airbox back to original and did DME reset - 90% cured. Still there very infrequently, but much, much improved. But also seems worse after idling at lights ets. What could cause that?!

HTML Code:
Chavs usually wear designer labels, and if they’re girls, very short skirts and stilettos

Chavs dont sound to bad to me. Send the female versions over here

In my experience, once my idle is shot, nothing will fix it like a system adaptation with a Bosch Hammer - a DME reset only does a part job of it.

No problem with the idle, it's just that after the car has been idling happily and i pull away - that's when there is sometime a lack of power, kicks back in quick enough, but it is there.....

You didn't pull off any vacuum hoses whilst you were a fiddling????? have a feel to see if anything is amiss, There is a hose that goes to a cylinder behind the airbox, maybe its come adrift?

Had a re-fiddle with the original airbox and re-fitted it. All seems A OK today!
Mustn't grumble I suppose.
