Some footage from today’s 360 camera test. Sill learning how to use the software but getting there.

If you remember I whipped the filter covers off and had a look. All the "crossbars" looked aligned.. I even tried poking them round with a screwdriver.. all seemed OK. Not sure if the actual grubscrew is visible with the filter on, but I would think I could feel if it was or wasn't present with a finger.. I failed.. 😞 I'm sure you suggested it could be my vtec solenoid as well.. 🙂

Enjoyed that mate

Werehouse? 😂

The 3M fine compound is excellent and getting the majority of fine to medium marks out, but I found, really does need a proper rotary polisher and good mops to do so. (Not tried medium, but the course is also superb). Not tried them with a DA, you typically find you don’t get quite as much “cut” as a rotary, but you can often still do it, it just takes longer.

Thanks Dave. Now sold

1,000 cred points to the first person to get it:

Errrr I do believe I suggested that on the day !

Booked it!

Good decision.

Well I think I've found my problem.. pretty certain my day was spoilt by an M8 grub screw. 😔 One DCOE aux venturi grub screw gone awol. I did actually have a squint down the chokes on the day to see if all was well, as I've had this happen before, and they looked OK. Didn't look hard enough obviously! If the auxiliary choke is allowed to turn, it blocks off the main jet to that choke afaik. Pee'd off about the bad day, but happy I've found something. 🙂

Apparently, due to Covid sickness and working from home, DVLA staffing levels are very low, so I probably couldn't have picked a worse time to make a nuisance of myself. However, after almost three months, I've just been told my case has been approved. Background - my Westie is a Sierra SDV, built in 2004 using a handful of bits from a 1988 XR4i donor. When it was registered, it was given the "E" registration from the donor and (crucially) it was also given the "date of first registration" from the donor too (not sure if this was by default or by choice of the builder). My understanding is that when the car was SVA'd and first registered, the owner could have assigned a 2004 (or earlier) plate and everything would have been fine, but becuase the donor registration was used, the 1988 date was committed and used on the V5. This means that from DVLA's persective, my Westie is a 1988 car, which stopped me in my tracks when I wanted to assign an "N" reg personal plate. DVLA's online registration assignment system clearly wouldn't work, so in early February, I wrote to them explaining that the date of first registration should be 2004, not 1988. After passing the case round various departments that don't seem to talk to each other, they have now accepted my argument and they even phoned me this morning to let me know! So - if anyone is having similar problems, drop me a PM - I would be happy to provide a copy of the letter I used and I would be happy for you to use my case as a precedent.

I'm in Chesterfield so happy to lend you mine. Usual rules apply you bend it you mend it. Payment in the form of effervescent beverage of the alcoholic verity. 😁 Pm me
