To refresh your memory. I am well pleased with mine.

Well after speaking with Dave... he has a few checks to do way before actually stripping the engine. The engine is running... roughly but runnin. And does not burn any oil... I see unlikely this happening with a damaged piston. Its been diagnosed with an endoscope... and what the guy saw trough it could be just dirt deposits from a rich combustion... or, who knows if marks from a dodgy valve... rather than the actual piston being the problem. First step, is to check compression in all 4 cilinders and see if any difference. If compression is good and there is not oil burnt, i would be very reluctant on stripping the engine, and I would start with the ancillaries (basically injection and or spark). This is way faster to check (and needs checking regardless) than just stripping an engine for the sake of it. Chris. Not sure what the head has in his case... normally for a mildly tuned zetec ports are already too big from factory, and i would be surprised if has any important work on it other than 3d valves cut, and despite being important... maybe not too much for the mapping.

I have used L.S. Laser Cutting in basildon. They were great and very well prices

I was thinking about this for my garage wall...😀

your silhouette image would be a big square box!

Rain ?? Thats Wales for you 😂☔

We regularly cut galvanised so shouldn't be an issue..with correct extraction..

Hungaroring, what a master class from Merc, after the previous fiasco. Can you imagine being dealt that tyre strategy, the plan being for a last lap overtake! Lewis was cool as a cucumber.

Didn't I write an EXTENSIVE post about the risks of that... Precisely you should not be the one to suffer this Dave. Now... Damage is done. Buy a mondeo-focus-transit 1.8 Zetec. Put your ancillaries including cams, bolt all together and off you go (remember to have the injectors checked). That is a weeks time work. When you are back, check what has happened in your engine, refresh, rebuild, and spare.

Who would have thought getting a holiday in Snowdonia with fair weather in August could be so difficult? As more rain is planned for next week too that has gone on the back burner again, the good news is that not only is there supposed to be a ridge of high pressure for Sunday but we will be able to come along to this too. We will be leaving Baslow at 8am arriving at the Carding Shed for 9am. I will post up a separate event for the journey just in case anyone else wants to come with us.

It was the CHANCE that made it EXCITING!

Yup. But it need to see how I’m fixed. 😁

Not so sure the Red bull had the pace to do what the merc/LH did. And if max pitted first I suspect the kinder-on-its tyres merc would have been able to go to the end. Especially as Lewis's tyres were 6 laps younger. Great race again though and great call by the merc strategists.

You've gotta luv Guy Martin.

Today we went over to Ballater Victoria week car show, a couple of apologies , but left at just after 7am to meet David at Tomintoul, then over the lecht to Ballater where Alastair and his wife had a gazebo up and a wonderful spread laid on for us Cars in place and a quick clean up we sat and chatted about all things westy related. Halfway through the morning the rain started and at 1 pm we had the cavalcade through the town which had the roads lined with spectators after which we headed back over the lecht and a cuppa at Tomintoul before heading home , a short day with around 90 miles covered and excellent company

Markat only just seen your post, sorry it was yesterday, come along to a monthly meeting, usually 1st Thursday of each month 8pm at The Crown Inn, Bridport. Jon ps - just seen your map pin - perhaps the monthly meeting is along way although one of the attendees comes from Dawlish each month.

Would if I could but I can’t.
