Sad but necessary sale of my Westie after 15 years to make room for my newly purchased GT6 - like me the toys are getting older and slower. Registered as a 91 build but converted to a Vauxhall redtop engine in 2001. Installation included twin Dellortos, SBD inlet manifold and ARP bolts. Type 9 gearbox. It had a new chassis, running gear and Westfield LSD fitted by Steve Davis at Middlewich Autobodies in 2010. I have installed a quick release steering wheel, NoDiz pro ignition and a half roof, doors and boot cover from Softbits. Too much time on my hands over covid means it has a home crafted kevlar dash and lightweight loom with solid state relays. Seats are tired but I decided that since they are a bit of a personal choice, I would price accordingly rather than replace them myself. Sold with 12 months MOT, I am looking for £7500. DM me for more pics, questions and any further details on spec and history. I am in Solihull.

I stuck mine below the duct

Speak to andrew at toybox he will have put them on that car he also sells them on ebay for about £650ish

Afternoon guys the next wscc is on tuessay the 14th of this month we are going to do a run out (weather permitting ) meeting @thechurchmouse DH23RJ for 6.45-7pm the run will be one that Scott Taylor aka @westfield_bumble organised last year finishing at the jolly driver again Look forward to to see you guys there

Well yes but the media adds fuel to the fire

not just petrol oil products in general and prices being raised unnecessarily i had to buy oil to top up yesterday from a big company sportsbike shops £72 for 4ltr last year £51 bunch of crooks this can of oil was probably in stock before any war so why hike the price thanks don

No that falls squarely on the shoulders of some deranged orange faced despot…

Could I take the black please? PM'd Thanks Ken

seems different area are panicking more than others, most likely the medias fault

Do you happen to still know the wheel size and offset (ET value) of this?

The price of petrol always reminds me that it used to cost £10 to fill my Westfield when it was built 30 years ago.

I thought the same but then wondered if it was battery charge/drain condition or similar?

Easter Bunny doing delivery duties this time....

I have the same ECU @dvd8n - impressed so far and seems to have a lot of functionality (virtually none of which I’m using!). Keen to hear how the CANLambda system works, as wideband seems to be a great idea to me.

I've driven from Glencoe to Goole today. No problems filling up on the 7 hour drive

Spent quite a bit of time tracking down petrol today; quite a few supermarkets and stations in my area were completely out. The guy in the station where I found some said that something had kicked off a panic.

I can only guess speed. But when you zoom in, it doesn’t really make sense,

Looks like a nice run out. We missed it due to being down in Dorset, where we have just randomly bought a horse trailer. At least we will have when Monzo believe we’ve not fallen for a scam!

That was a really enjoyable run out. Sorry I was late arriving (only 5 minutes) and had to leave early. The car was looking well used when I got home but at least it stayed mainly dry.

What do the different colour represent?

As recommended by the installer. He seems to be a fan of them. David

A good run round on mainly quiet roads. Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for the usual great planning. Flashbacks to my 'risky rear' pics from our 1st Le Mans Trip in 2017. Apparently @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative thinks I was taking a pic of her tread depth! Only @Jakejmagee and I know the skill required to get round this bend safely! my Bluetooth battery monitor also logs my runs - here’s today route

Good, what are you going for instead?

I wasn't the only person deciding whether to have the Sunday carvery only to be told it's Saturday, oh crumbs, so tomorrow will feel like Monday and I haven't a clue what day it is, it's CLUB day! yeah that's all that matters. Great to be out with our great car club!! Meeting earlier at Quacker's to have a quick look at my TPS values and general ecu numbers as the revs on cold start seem to be down at 600 rpm for some bizarre reason. Nothing glaringly obvious showed up on a warm engine and, now Ian Kinder has shown me what to do, I will look at the cold engine in the morning. Although Dave mentioned that the OMEX ecu's are clever little sods that can compensate for failing instruments, making diagnosis a challenge. Oh the joys of owning a kit car, never a boring moment, still it made for good photo's of the tread pattern on my shoes Here we are at Quacker's car park before Luke arrived Jake and Jim arriving Inside Quacker's cafe, inside because it was freezing outside Andrew had picked up a screw in his tyre resulting in a slow puncture, Ian Kinder to the rescue again. Luke arrived and we got a fantastic display of the mighty 3.9 litre V8's, these 2 cars are about as similar as 2 Westfield's get. No 2 cars are the same. Off we went on our run out on great wiggly roads with some of the most amazing views you can get in the area, we avoided the tourist spots and flowed very well. Well, most of the time, until I saw the warning triangle for the crossroads, thinking ah that's where we turn left. Nope, it's a farm track, then to the ruddy next one and same again, a farm track, finally on the 3rd warning triangle it was the road we wanted, Derbyshire County Council must have had a 3 for 1 offer that day on crossroad signposts. Worth it though for the view as you come down into Taddington, awesome. That bought us nicely to The Cow Shed, Tideswell where it was far too hot to sit inside, even if you were wearing shorts, Mr K. A few shots of us gadding about at the Cow Shed, please add your photo's of the day too, much appreciated x Dave and Ian leaving with the Honda Roar Really, really excellent to have folks back out now the tax man has been paid and the weather is everso slightly warmer, thank you for making the time to join us and also a great big thank you for the technical expertise that member's of this club share with us XXXXXXX

Wanted Westfield Xl centre mirror mount , black part in picture above .
