Echo the not using too much pressure. Deflate your spare tyre first and just add back the 10psi or so it suggests. I used it with my 30psi spare thinking it would just last longer for repeated bleeding. Don't do it..... spent longer clearing up than it took to bleed all four brakes

Just found this clip of a race with a series one, with an eleven at the beginning. Looks fun in a road race scary way. But not holding back too !

Aye, it goes along way when it blast out of the pressure cap.

Welcome from the sunny (and it’s nae snowing) north of Scotland nice looking car hope you enjoy her and get plenty of use

Hypnotic is the best way to describe it. I am in awe of the machine tool manufacturers skill. Historically, I had assumed, the crankshaft would have been forged into a rough form and machined from that rather than starting with a large diameter bar and cutting away all the unwanted metal. It's a long time since I visited a car manufacturing plant (Ford at Dagenham in the Escort Mk1 days, and Standard Triumph In Coventry during the Herald era) so my experience of seeing machining is archaic to say the least. I am now going to try to find clips of crankshaft manufacture in that time... Afternoon wasted! This Wikipedia article is very helpful. Casting, forging, and machining from solid are all discussed. Thanks for the link Stuart.

Gunsen’s Eazibleed, just be very careful not to exceed the recommended tyre pressures or it gets messy fast!

from Essex Pretty sure I pointed that very car out to a friend of mine, assuming it IS from Toybox. He loved it, but settled on one of their Zetecs. Have fun with it!

from Scotland...nice colour...

Its not a ecoboost engine, so you can show it off

Looks superb (I assume it came with a bonnet!? haha). Welcome from nearby Newcastle Emlyn.

Bet there's more go up in flames

Hi Mike, welcome to the site. If you would like some advice from someone very new to Westfields, here’s mine.. I’m a tight arsed Yorkshireman so paying fees for anything really goes against the grain, if I can find a way of getting owt for nowt, without taking the p**s, I will. But I have to admit paying the full club membership has paid for itself more than a few times for me. I have bought and sold cars and parts on here, also been offered cars that weren’t advertised yet and been given loads of advice from more than helpful members that seem more than willing to bend over backwards for you. Stuff you won’t get on FB forums. I’ve been offered meets and runs out.. I’m not a people person so the club thing and meets etc. Is a tall ask for me, but I will one day.. My renewal has just come up and to be honest my first reaction was my default setting of “naa, don’t waste money” but then I thought about what I had gained from it over the past year and decided it is worth joining for another year. The magazine alone may be worth the fee if you like that sort of thing. I must admit, I’m a picture browser with a short attention span, so it doesn’t do that much for me, but my grandson likes it Personally I’d like some nice club stickers without a date on them.. out of date stickers upset my OCD . If you are serious about getting into Westfields then, although it pains me to say it, you could do a lot worse than join the owners club. You will find all you need to know and may, like myself, find the perfect car for you. You May find the forum a little frustrating at times because it doesn’t seem to be often used. But hey.. people have lives and don’t bob on and off forums like some do on FB for example but you will find the best advice and for sales etc. are here. Good luck.

Excellent. And tastefull clamshells, too!
