Cut it however you like as long as it still looks original after lol.
Can't find a scrap one anywhere though, I know its a long shot but if anyone does happen to see one, let me know.
Also, it turns out 3k in 5th is about 90 on the speedo, which is kinda useful when your guts decide you suddenly need the loo 20 miles from home.
Really not been a good day! Oddly, MPG wasn't any worse at that than 70, how that works I really don't know. Also discovered just how grippy these things are at speed! DPF temp still wasn't really hot enough to regen though, even with the Eolys it still needs to be 450c+ as far as I know (but Ford won't give me that info for some reason) and it was only just above 300c. Think I'd have to be on the redline for hours to get a passive regen going so I'll just leave it to kick in active regens every so often for now. On a side note, has anyone hit the limiter on one of these? It sounded awful, I've never taken it much past the redline under load before but hit the limiter (5kish) a couple of times today and it genuinely sounded like there was no oil in it (there is btw lol). Doesn't seem to be any problems since but I won't be doing that again if I can help it. Worried now that something else is broken though as it sounded so bad. I give up tbh. Should've bought a petrol.
