Hope this counts. This is a picture of my engine following the work I had done on Buttercup by @Luke Algar frpm PlaysKool.

Last Westie drive of the year this morning with the latest Mrs TJ as pax. In true James May , she shouts out ' Buffeting ' at anything above 60 . Complains about not warming up and when I stopped to take the photo on the way home.............................. opened the vent on her side . Didnt hear the end of it all the way back home Still , was a pleasant drive out this morning and an end to 2018 Westying

Received a painting from Mother in Law...

Mrs TJ doesnt go out in it often as still having haunting thoughts of the Vomit Incident tm

Now, now. It was a pair of curtains, a rug, and a vinyl covered tablecloth and was more substantial (and comfortable) than many others I've seen, and sat in, in the same or equivalent classes over the years.

Country pubs and nice weather, I'll take that on New Years Eve. Happy New Year.

Dont confuse the sausages. The bigger one you eat.....................

Pics of H in the special nightie or I'm calling bulls***!

When we are happy to allow £20K engines , gearbox casings made from unobtainiun etc then a passenger seat is irrelavant IMHO

Taking weight loss to the extreame

Episode 21 should be up, (for Patrons) tonight, 8pm ish, and for everyone else, tomorrow evening, (The 31st) as a New Year’s Eve treat!

Everyone loves a photo, the weather's come good the season officially here and in theory we should be out and about a bit more ...be it a track day or by the beach, so let's have a look! A recent snap of your westfield in the wild! Blat down Avon gorge and back for me on Monday night....good times

A superb car that’s a bit different from the rest. The car has been owned by me for the last 12 months and prior to that by a WSCC member who extensively improved the car during his tenure. I bought the car with 9,597 miles and it has now done 10,578 miles. I am the forth owner. The car will be missed and is in near perfect condition. The car comes with a full pack of receipts for each and every purchase, since original build. I have a detailed log of all the servicing and works that has been done to the car. I have a copy of all the MOT's. The current Mot expires on 10/12/19 . Based on the Sierra single donor vehicle kit and first registered in 2009. Literally thousands have been spent on this car (with receipts to prove). When the previous owner first bought the car he took it to Northampton Motorsport for a thorough check-over and engine re-map, with the aim of ensuring reliability. The eventual bill was £2,245.00, but it’s been reliable ever since. The works at NMS included a new fuel filter, new starter motor, replaced engine pulleys and belt, new alternator, replacement temperature sensor, new battery, steering rack gators and a full set-up. All the suspension bushes have been replaced for nylon items, the front wishbones changed and Tillet seats fitted at Neil Garner Motorsport. The bill was £2,439 but these works drastically improved the handling of the car and addressed an inherent maintenance issue with the Sierra SDV's wide track. In 2015 the car was taken to Blink motorsport for the engine to be improved. The cams were replaced, the head was ported and polished, the throttle bodies were changed for longer items for improved torque (with new filer) and the cambelt was changed. The bill was £2,215, but the power increased to 182 bhp and 146 lb/ft. The car then went to Clear Motorsport to have ‘Playskool’ anti-roll bar’s fitted front and rear, along with new springs fitted to compliment the chassis changes and a full set-up. The car has a genuinely superb balance as a result. Since then the car was professionally maintained by Corinium Motorsport until my ownership a year ago. I have maintained the car to a very high standard with the help of a skilled Motorsport Engineer and I returned the car to the rolling road in April of this year where it achieved 181.6 bhp and 133.4 lbf.ft Dyno,print out sheets available. This car would make a great all round road, track or competition car. The car has always been run on super unleaded. Specification as follows: Engine, Cooling, gearbox and exhaust: 1.8 litre Ford Zetec with ‘Type 9’ gearbox. Jenvey throttle bodies (with long throttle body trumpets), polished and ported cylinder head and uprated cams by BLINK Motorsport, producing a proven 182 bhp and 146 lb/ft. Omex 600 ECU. Wrapped headers and carbon fibre exhaust (approx. 96 DB so will pass trackday noise tests). Raceline baffled sump and Raceline water rail cooling system. Cambelt recently changed. Coolex radiator with integral fan (new in May 2016) with recent coolant change. Safety: Professionally fitted full (‘Playskool’) roll cage with side protection, battery kill switches and plumbed-in extinguisher (serviced in Feb 2017). Schroth 6 (driver) and 4-point harnesses (passenger). Chassis: Independent rear suspension. New, professionally rated and fitted springs all round with Protech 2-way adjustable dampers . Corner weighted and full set-up by Clear Motorsport. Solid nylon bushes all round. ‘Playskool’ adjustable anti-roll bars front and rear. Limited slip dirrerential with breather. Team Dynamics wheels with new Avon ZZR's tyres (95/50/15 and 205/50/15). Spare set of Team Dynamic wheels with nearly new set of Kumhos Brakes: Uprated AB master cylinder. Sierra brake callipers (renewed rears) and recently changed disks. Uprated pads. Braded break lines and recently changed DOT 5.1 brake fluid.

Where did he get the curtains from? I want to get some (just a bit thinner)

You're making good progress to that Steve. Looking forward to seeing it running and driving too and thoughts on the V6

Finish it

Good run around Cheshire today stopping at The Lodge Oulton Park, then stopping for a posh breakfast at the Lockgate Coffee House where John D picked up the bill for all three of us, thanks John. Car cleaned and put away now till next year Jeff

As said, starting and idling to temp does more harm than good, it needs to get hot enough to burn off deposits, ie. go for a drive

Mine at Hayling Island last Monday in the heat !!
