This is the typical fodder for the workshop .. TVR Cerbera with faulty MBE 941 ecu - now changed to Emerald K6plus . I never get tired of working on Cerberas ... The track day westy is next on the ramp for a bit of a fettle prior to sending it off for some intake fabrication work on the turbo install.

...and I see @Morris that fame has arrived with you and your car featured in this month's Complete Car Builder. And there is also the WSCC 40th anniversary article. A veritable feast for me to get stuck into!

No, I'll take a look, thank you but that won't be relevant for my setup. In my case, Megajolt immediately cuts the ignition once the key is turned, so the dieseling is caused by a small quantity of fuel flowing from the Weber carb due to the higher idle, the hot combustion chambers and air from the leak.

@Morris have you seen this thread about using a diode to stop engine run-on after switching off ignition?

There were a couple of factors, one being the fuel had 'gone off'. Even though I use 5% ethanol fuel, its life is no more than two months, so it had degraded over the winter months. Also the plugs I was using weren't ideally matched to the Megajolt ignition (it needs a resistive type). The engine sounds more punchy (and louder) at higher revs and it starts well, but I suspect there is still a vacuum leak that has destabilised and raised the idle speed, resulting in some dieseling of the engine once I switch off the ignition. General driving is great, but I still need to address the vac leak. I suspect its air finding its way along the threads of the vacuum ports I screwed into the inlet manifold. The garage also fixed a rear axle oil leak that was causing me grief. There was a little damage to the sealing surface with the lip seal that they've repaired. They also had a good look over the car, tightened a few worm clips, replaced a section of fuel house and tightened the fan belt.

Has anybody got any carbon fibre or grp carbon effect cycle wings going spare at all? Suitable for 205 wide tyres

As title manifold wanted for zzr1200 or 1100 might also consider somethinh similar that will convert.

@James LovellHi James, you have a PM via Whatsapp.

What did they do to get it running sweetly again @Morris?

As per the title, these are protech dampers in good condition, there are a couple of marks on them but they still work well! I'm not entirely sure on the spring rates which is the only reason for me changing. I image they will be the westfield supplied spring rates though! Im after £150 + postage or collected from kidderminster. Feel free to drop me a message on 07508052837

Just popped the 13”/R888Rs back on ahead of our meet tomorrow in Cullompton. Weather looks good!

That’s right. - deleting was an option years ago, but it was rapidly turned off in favour of hide, after a couple of issues where members accidentally deleted entire threads, as well as individual posts, and then the poor web master also kept getting asked to restore them from back ups. With hide, if you accidentally hide something, then realise it was the wrong post, you can un-hide it without needing any outside help. Moderators and admins can still delete posts, though. So occasionally, especially on really slow mobile connections, where someone’s managed to post the same thing two or three times, they’ve just asked a mod. to delete the extra “copies”!

Anyone got a replacement ferrule for the westfield polished aluminium gear knob that they would sell to me? I've chewed mine up somewhat trying to undo it to get at the grub screws that hold the knob onto the gearstick. TIA Kevan

I'll take this, just messaged you

It’s been a long while since I was a moderator on these pages but back then most would only ever be hidden rather than physically deleted.

Ahhhh right.. It's never deleted just hidden

Open the topic which you’ve created and at the top just below the title click moderation actions and then hide.

Brilliant well done all its things like this that make the club great

@Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO I think you need to be renamed “Mr Dynamo”

Or just use Google but search 'wscc tyres', it works better in my opinion

Cheers, just sometimes with really obvious searches.... Nothing So how do you delete a post you created?

I had intended to have the cylinder head back the week before, but one of the valve guides fell out whilst setting up the seats for recutting!

You have any images of them and what you looking for them?
