B.RAD Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Don't know about the refund, ref the misfire, our cars don't like short runs or being moved without getting to clear their throats. Check the plugs haven't coked up, and get some miles with good revs up under your belt. Otherwise AP will be able to help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.RAD Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Righto one and all, just thinking about what I'm bringing for the day, Russ has already requested that I pack various tools for him so will bring those. I thought it might be easiest for everyone, especially those driving there, to compile a list of who's bringing what. Given that we're all sharing garage space this seems to make sense and I'm happy to bring and share anything needed. Will provide tea and coffee throughout the day, just bring your own mug! So far in my list is: Table, kettle, milk, tea and coffee Couple of socket sets and various tools, jack, etc Cable ties for Russ Spare helmet and intercom Anything else I can bring?

Andrew Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 I always bring a jack and tools etc.. plus a few spares. I think it's fair to say anyone driving to the circuit needn't worry about tools. Fuel is available at the circuit, not sure if it's available all day or just specific times.. it'll be mentioned in the briefing no doubt. 33 minutes ago, Weekend Warrior said: Spare Car That doesn't sound good?

Weekend Warrior Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Spent this morning at AP racing engines near Mansfield having an engine health check he did a compression test which was all good ,however on the leak down test there was a slight leak on 2 and 3 , he then hooked it all up to the rolling road but after strapping it all down couldn’t get into the ecu as it was locked ! In the meantime he gave it a couple of runs and found the misfire at 4000 revs. .As I tried to get hold of the last owner he did something to the sensor on the exhaust and came up with a map which showed a big dip at 4000 rpm which he says is being caused by overfueling at that point .Untill he can get into the ecu he won’t know why . It turns out Dunnell locked the ecu after programming it ,Dunnel then told me that as I wasn’t the owner of the car when the work was done there was no warranty ,if I wanted him to look at it I’d have to get the engine taken out and shipped to him .He says that it was tested on a dynometer and that was all well when he tested and shipped it out ( I’ve no reason to disbelieve his word he seems well respected ) He then sent me an email saying that he would send me the password on the understanding that once issued would release them from all liabilities related to the engine in question ? ive been advised not to track it untill it’s sorted ,either side of 4000 it runs fine, and am booked back in next Tuesday .On the plus side it sailed through its Mot today and I can cope with putting the little bit of oil it’s using .It doesn’t smoke on start up or when you drive it so plan is to get it under control and do something about it when it needs it . ive contacted Rockingham and there going to swap this Friday for another day of my choice ,very decent of them .Perhaps I’ll catch up with a few of you then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
