So with some last minute additions to the 30 year old pre lit. I think I'm ready for my first event, just hoping some of you lovely bunch will give me a few pointers if I can accompany you round the track walk and also have a look to make sure I'm blue book compliant for scrutineering. Feeling like a kid at Christmas. See you all Friday

... it would be a xflow. There is a back story here. Reading about Quinten's latest engine woes, I asked my Dutch boss for some uplifting Dutch videos to cheer up Quinten. And because Harrie has a thing for tractors, this was in the mix, because apparently we all drive the 'wrong form of transport' But I thought it deserved its own post, cos frankly I think its brilliant and I love the noises..!

update: we will try and scrutineering and signing on some drivers on Friday night to stop the queues cheers John

Is it linked to the brake fluid level too? .. I think mine is..

Is it also your low brake fluid warning light perhaps? Depending on the shape of the reservoir it could be low fluid causing that.

I'm at Blyton... and my house is not far from Stu's place.. I can pass onto Stu if that helps. I have some Gulf goodies from Le Mans to give him anyway..

Decided to sell my Haynes to fund another build !!!! Iva'd Easter 2016, motd till next may and properly registered as a Haynes roadster on a Q plate New vmax bodywork this year with Westfield clamshells 2 packed to match, Westfield screen and seats, fw hood extended by local saddler also has wind deflectors Mx5 running gear, 2003 svt 1.8 engine /box plus eaton m45 supercharger, Passat intercooler, mini bypass and twin tbs 5 spoke alloys with khumo ecstas on Classic style veneer dash with mx5 instruments built into mgb ones Just back from a 1300 mile trip round Scotland and a weekend to applecross

Well, it's about time Jim , you done another trackday

Sensible to check rather than just putting some fluid in there and find out in an inopportune moment its all gone and you have no brakes.

Yes as the guys say check the fluid or the 2 wires that run to the level sensor...

Not sure I would recognise you anyway!

Just found a video I recorded to demonstrate a duff original sender supplied as part of my build:

I have lurked long enough, booked!

yeh thats the same as mine also regarding your water temp try taking the sender out and cleaning the boss that it fits into as it looks corroded if its not grounding out the sender then you wont get the temprature reading

Haven't had chance to call Mark yet. Work keeps getting in the way

Posted...

Wouldn't be a bad thing if we have a few people arriving. Also a hog roast would be nice ;-)

And we won't sneak off lol

Next coffee and cakes on us then!

My pins are still available. If you're not at Blyton, PM me your address and I'll post them.

Fished a pair of grommets out of the spares box in the boot while I had the car out tonight, will stick them in the post to you tomorrow Stu, I'm probably not going to make Blyton to spectate now, as the car will be at Omex.

Try Cwmystwyth. Old lead mines, roads running down next to the river, accessed from the Elan valley roads or from Pontarfynach (Devil's Bridge) from Aberystwyth. Gary

Nah, he will just supercharge it

I see Ferrari International Assistance have ruled no further punishment. What a surprise.

The disqualification needed to happen during the race. There's no point now as it'll be the FIA overruling the stewards.

Hi, all, 100% agree with regard to Car Builder Solutions. Service how it should be so worth the little extra cost. Simon

I agree - not always the cheapest but always found them super quick and well packaged when they arrive so damage free!

And I got mine from the supplier bunje put me on to.

the grommets i have are the same as westfeild

Yes, nice run. Even got a friendly wave from a couple of Caterhams.

Cracking run out today, 9 Westfields and the sun shone all day. Jeff

CHEEEEEEEEEEESE grommet.

Please bring some, I'll swap a couple for some beer tokens as I am in need too.

If you need a few grommets I can bring some with me to Blyton stu.
