  1. Was that photoshopping courtesy of the Princess of Wales by any chance? 😉

  2. P139 OMJ, ‘96 Westfield in red, spin starts at 4:08 - time to out a club member? 🤣 Enter: Boot throttle: I hope the guy following me doesn’t have a dash cam - oh 💩 he does! 😬 I meant to do that…

  3. Hi If the information is of help to anyone in the future I didn't see the harm in providing an update. My connection to PGM is that it is my sons business so I do obviously know the why and wherefores about that particular component. In fact my son spent many hours in conjunction with the part provider in engineering a cure for this issue. It has caused untold problems for some of the 620 owners. As the original post had some misleading information about the SBD tps which isn't suitable for this application along with comments about PGM I just tried to put the record straight. I only came across the post by sheer chance in the first place so I would assume other owners/users etc could also do the same. Best wishes Colin

  6. Thank you. Although our back ground is primary Caterhams PGM do come across Westfields now and again. It will be good to be able to tap into your knowledge should we need some specific advice. Thanks again Colin

  7. I do this pretty much every time that I get in the driver's seat. I mean, obviously the big key is the ignition and the small one the boot key. It's only reasonable. Right? D

  8. Well my trusty 2014 Hyundai i40 Tourer finally gave up after nearly 200k miles - all done by me from new....... So went out and put a deposit on this: 10 month old Kia Ceed SW. Pick it up on Saturday.

  9. Traced this morning to a loose hose connection on the concentric slave cylinder. Engine out job, or at least forward, in order to get a spanner on it. At least I've not got to get parts in in a hurry in time for Anglesey. Had a lovely day despite the setback. It was lovely to meet old Westfielding friends and new. Also had friends from outside of the community visiting which was a bonus so it was a really sociable day. Will probably do the June event as well, as I'd like to get a few more laps in next time!

  10. I’m more impressed that you joined just to say that on a 2 year old thread. Fair play

  11. Hi, I just came across this old post concerning a Caterham 620 and references were made about the Partridge Green Motorsport TPS sensor. Just for clarification it is a purpose made sensor for PGM. It isn't from SBD as in fact the 620 range use a vehicle specific sensor, which Caterham were only supplying complete with the throttle body at that time. As you must appreciate although it seems expensive it was considerably cheaper than purchasing the whole throttle body. Looking at the original question of the distance between the speed sensor and the segmented ring the most probable cause is the ring has moved on the body of the cv joint. Unfortunately that has been known to occur on various Caterham models. Once it is pushed back in line and a little locking compound added it normally stays put, hence it was most likely fine at the IVA test. Kind regards Colin

  14. When I was building my first Westie 20+ years ago I had just fitted the steering rack for the first time and connected it to the uprights, and so I plonked myself into the driving seat for the obligatory "pretend you are zooming round Brands Hatch" moment. Almost immediately, the steering sized up - I could not move it at all. I was incensed.... "what useless quality control.... how dangerous..... what if this had happened on the road?!?" I was all set to ring Westfield up and give them an earful.... when my other half gently asked.... "does it have a steering lock?". Ah, yes, that'll be it then. Put the ignition key in and of course it was fine. I was so glad she asked before I'd phoned....

  16. This was a long time ago and wasn't the Westie but never mind. There I am in my one car lock up, doing some welding on my buggy. There's no power in my lock up, so it's gas welding. Tum te tum, getting on great here..... Hmmm, my leg's getting a bit warm, I'll move it away from the heat a little. Tum te tum ............ Hmmm. leg's still a little warm - better move it further. Tum te tum ............ Still hot - a bit further then. This continues 'till my leg was against the garage wall and I cannot move it any further. At this point I decide that I'd better flip the mask up and have a look. SH*T! Leg's on fire. With remarkable coolness I pat out the flames. At this point in the story I think that maybe I'd better point out the condition of my overalls - old and really really grease stained. Plus, with gas welding all day I guess that the atmosphere's pretty oxygen rich. So. Pat the flames out. So what happens? Whoomp! Leg bursts into flames again. Hmmmm. Pat the flames out again. Whoomp! Leg bursts into flames again. Hmmmmmm. There's a pattern developing here. Luckily I notice a bucket in the corner of the garage. I grab it and rush round to the standpipe at the end of the block, my leg an impressive mass of smoke and flames. So there I am, standing at the standpipe, leg on fire, waiting for the bucket to fill. Finally!!!! Leg goes into the bucket up to mid-calf. There's a loud hissing and the flames finally go out. I leave it in the water for a while to cool down. Much to the amusement of the kids hanging round ................... Had my thick leather Redwing boots on so no real damage other than to my overalls and my dignity. David

  20. I got over there as well, with Mrs H., just to say hello to some of my old speed series mates. Sadly Howard's clutch packed up, but not until he'd put in a good T1 time. Very cold tho',so we left after the timed run following lunch.

  21. With the Speed Series having some local events this year, I had been really keen to make sure we show our support and get some members along to watch. Hopefully, some of our enthusiast spectators will turn into competitors! Amazingly through the day, excluding the guys competing, I counted 8 cars and about 20 members (plus partners, friends and family) spectating. Lee had come across from Lichfield and joined by two new local members Martin and Julian (with partner Clare) in their respective cars. Martin had only joined last night and Julian about 6 weeks ago, really good to meet you 👍 Word had also got out to our friends at Burton Car Club so we also had two Ferrari replicas and a stunning Mclaren 570. A quick 20 min convoy and we landed at Mallory where we were joined by Nick (in his new Striker) and then Dale shortly after. Alex, Hedley and Tony had come in their tintops, and Ben had turned up in the VW Caddy so he could bring his cute grandson Hunter (what a great name! 😂).@Garry Bunn - Derby & Notts Joint AOalso joined us after lunch James's lovely Mazda engined car Del's TR6 Wandering the paddock we bumped into more and more members like Neal and Dave who we hadn't seen since our last Huggys meet. We also met Dan and Del while admiring John Loudon's Force TA. Some more amazing machinery in the paddock 😍 A fantastic day all round, I'm definitely fancying a go at it myself!

  22. I hope you defrosted the rabbit before making the casserole @ianali 🤣🤣🤣. Easter Bunnies beware if the Wesfield club comes out next weekend!! We met at Cupola, a stunningly designed building in a stunning setting, reflecting the lead processing history of the area. Inside the cafe we tucked into breakfast Back outside everyone had parked together We went on a run which was full of twisties and new roads to keep the drivers happy and amazing views to keep the passengers happy. Thank you to Ali for capturing a snippet of the views, you are nearly as good at photography as your husband😁 Arriving at The Whitworth Centre, Darley Dale just in time to raid the cake counter. Ian had us rolling with laughter as he had not operated a real, non phone camera since he was about 10, so it's not a bad photo considering. In the car park After deciding that we perhaps should not be allowed to keep pets it was time to leave. Brilliant day out all round with great venues, great cars on roads made for driving and the best bit was the people, the fun and laughter we had, it's good for the soul. Next weekend is Easter 🐰 so stay posted for which of the 4 day break we are gathering, the route will be carefully chosen to avoid any Bank Holiday traffic x
