  1. Past hour
  2. I would agree with all the above and add that it is worth getting out to join one of your local area meets - Westfield owners are a friendly bunch, if slightly mad…🤪, and always like looking over another car as every one is different.
  3. Today
  4. Being a relatively new owner myself (bought car in Nov24), I would say go through the car front to back. Put a spanner on every nut and bolt check for stripped poor condition fastener's, and replace where required(use nylock nuts) Free off any seized ball joints, rears get neglected as there hidden away. Check condition of suspension bushes while your in there. After that replace fluids, bleed brakes, check pads and disks. Mine was a factory built car and came with a folder of invoices, mainly from the first two owners. The car when viewed presented well, unfortunately the last owner had not maintained it very well. After you have checked it over, the most important bit - fuel it up and enjoy driving it!

    New owner - what advice would you give to yourself back when you were first starting out?

    Without wishing to be a boring old F**t….. 😆 If you’ve not driven a Westfield before, just remember they are lightweight, relatively powerful, rear wheel drive cars and can catch you out if not aware of how they drive. Nothing to be fearful of, but well worth getting used to it over a period of time, don’t go balls your first time in it! Doing your own maintenance on the car as much as possible really helps you understand it better. I won’t add to the advice already given as it covers everything already, but I do agree with the fuel gauge comment. I once ran out of fuel on a left hand bend on a dual carriageway with no hard shoulder. Not fun and taught me to fill up sooner rather than later. Enjoy the car, they really are great fun.

    Oh no, thought because I hadn’t definitely said yes I wasn’t included, sorry Julie
  7. The fuel gauge is for amusement only and not to be trusted. Fill up every 100 miles and avoid the panic when the gauge plunges from just about 1/3rd of a tank to near empty after 2 miles.

    Our “maybe” is now a definitely 👍 edit to add no lunch for us, on a diet 😮😂
  23. 13x8j Wellers with 200/540/13 slicks, full set of 4 wheels. Tyres have plenty of meat left with the wear markers still clearly visible. Wheels are in good condition bar a couple of marks from clumsy tyre fitting on one wheel. These are dual PCD and will fit ford 4x108mm (ie Westfield!) as well as VW and lots of Jap cars with 4x100mm. Offset is ET15, and these were fitted to a SEiW as my track day wheels until I recently sold the car. Please note the spare pair of tyres visible in one of the photos has now been fitted to the wheels to replace the two tyres that were worn out. Collection ONLY from West Horsley KT24 6HS.

    I'll take the splitter if you're ok to pack it for shipment. I can take care of the shipment with collection at your address eventually.
  25. Check your handy list of expletives and learn when and where to use them, and at appropriate volume levels. Stock up on beer as it’s an essential lubricant during maintenance. Just because your missus says it’s okay to store spares and rebuild your carbs in the dining room doesn’t mean she’s happy about it.

    Thanks for sorting the directions out Dave 👍 I have booked us all in for lunch, so no more entries please as there will be nowhere for you to eat. Thank you for understanding on a busy Easter Sunday (I had to negotiate a table booking without a £10 a head deposit, trade concessions as my sales manager used to teach me 😉)
