After watching virtually every doc Who episode, he should just lemon-law his TARDIS. His has broken down on him more than enough times for the legal lemon law limits.
But since the Daleks nuked his home world and no doubt the TARDIS Motor Corp factory, that would be a moot point. And worse, he writes his own time circuitry tunes, and considering the mods he has, who is to say one of his time tune tables are not just a little off?

I did the standard kick once, then a fist down on the console, and even tried the newer method of a rubber mallet...Time to "grow" a new tune.

I'm just not getting why it'd work fine for so many others and the race tune in particular is the only one not quite cuttin' it for my car.
Every car is different my friend .

Yeah, just my paranoia showing. They (and I assume probably any others) emphasize each time, we've done "yada-yada of these, odd, but we'll look the tune over".

So my first inclination is to think there's something off with my setup. Appears this is not the case here after this added fiddling around.

Upped the WOT adjustment to 12.0, it still does it at WOT past 4200rpms after testing it again later. Arrrgh. F'it, back to performance tune then until I can afford someone knows what they're doing to tune it in person. Screw this.
