Warning to all Westfield drivers!! If you don't come out into the Peak District on a regular basis you will end up with Bagpuss Related Bad Parking Syndrome, as demonstated perfectly here! we won't name names though😁 Thanks Dan for the photo Breakfast for 9 in Cupola Cafe. Excellent quality food, not cheap but defo not nasty. We were out of the cafe before 11 and off on our run out. It stayed dry, the roads were really quiet, I did a superb last minute left turn (proud of that, nearly missed it!), had to take my sunglasses off on the tops due to fog and we all landed safely at The Tea Junction, Hulme End. Rita We all had a Worzel Gummidge moment, here's mine Ian was in control of his hair this week, until he sat next to me that is😁 That's it, we were done in record time and on our way home at 12:45, dry, light and all good having had a fun day with not a word of common sense between us. It's @AndrewBClarke's Christmas Party next Saturday at The Bentley Brook, if the weather is kind I will be doing a run out beforehand, looking forward to it, see you all there XXXX

Another smashing day out, thanks as ever to Julie & Glen. Roads pretty quiet and we had a fab drive up and back. A little foggy but all adds to the fun.

Well it needs to be simple enough for me to understand it! Essentially, if you have a removable steering wheel, it allows control of things like indicators, lights, wipers, horn etc from buttons on the wheel. This is done via a battery powered wireless transmitter on the wheel connected to the buttons, and a relay box receiver (in my case) which generally goes behind the dash and needs to be fitted either alongside or in place of the various controls on the dash or steering column. There are more sophisticated systems involving CAN bus for example but my car is way too basic to need any of that 🤣.

Glad you all had a great time , must say though that last photo looks more like a chimps tea party 🤣 take care and see you all soon xx

I've had a short mainly foggy run into the Peaks to join the gang for breakfast only and an equally foggy run home. Roads mainly dry and dirty! Nice to be out! Almost a poppy for @Greenstreak-Andy D My Peaky 'Bat cave' A great turn out as usual

This little kit arrived today, looking forward to fitting it, although a little daunted by the prospect, hopefully shouldn’t be too tricky 🤞. It’s an 8 channel version so plenty to play with.

I did a Google search for Westfield Jap Bars. Google helpfully corrected that to Westfield Japanese Bars. I told Google that, no, I meant Westfield Jap Bar. Notheless, Google helpfully gave me a load of pictures of nice Japanese people sitting at bars 🫣

The steering wheel buttons can be back-lit, but only for night time visibility. The active circuits would normally use the standard dash telltales. You can fit an illuminated dash CAN keypad though, which does light up brighter on the active circuits (there can be up to 14 of those) Edit to add a reminder that WSCC members have a 10% discount on my products since the whole business came about through this great club 💙

Well I was just trying to get the diameter of the bar without the bother of getting off the sofa. I didn't expect to be in danger of being cancelled.

I so envy you guys up there. Always blatting around. We need more 'Julies' in other regions. Any chance you can be cloned @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative ?

Temu specials fitted and wired

mmm, I kinda agree with him though 😮😁 ooo ooo ooo

Andy your a brave man 🤣

I'm not saying I'm archaic or owt but when I hear CAN and BUS I think of beans and the number 47 into town.

As a safety feature I think it's a great idea. Make sure your MOT man doesn't get arsey about it though, you know what they are like these days. I had my Jag failed on the number plate for the first time in 35 years, and the guy who failed it passed it last year! Needless to say, he is no longer my MOT guy 😂

Will try get a better video later. They can be set to either flash or be solid. One of each above. The "V" light has been trimmed off one end as it was too long so the centre is on the up on the right hand side of cage and the pattern is out for any one with ocd 🤣 Also can be used as indicators but only in red where it lights from one side and runs to the other like the fancy new ones

I’m first in the queue, I think he’s going to be my next best mate 😉

Set of painted build stands. no longer needed. make me an offer. North Bristol.

And last week google told me the battery in my van was under the drivers seat and not in the engine bay so I replied it is in the engine bay im looking at it right now the Google reply was your totally wrong you can't be its not .at that point I gave up thought Ai was friendly

Honestly, I don’t know. i never quite dared ask, in the old factory days. I’ve got a sneaking suspicion it means exactly what Google thinks. From memory, they did kind of start appearing at (very) roughly the time there was a lot of exporting, by the old factory, of Westfields to Japan going on, in the nineties.

Googles crap ai totally misleading told me the clutch cover on my fireblade engine was bolted directly to the flywheel and not the crankcase 🤔

That looks clean. Could be coil pack related and spark plug tube seals

Put it back on for next mot unless your planning more bank robberies

We need videos of them in action!

I fitted the same earlier in the year. If i can anyone can, I had loads of help from Liane and Mike.

I have a set in prepreg carbon

I arrived at Paul Jnr house today. the house facing his was abandoned when it was just a concrete shell with a roof on. It was then bought and completed to a very high standard, to day I met Kasper from Denmark, the new owner. I will let the photos tell the rest of the story😎 I think it’s fair to say Kasper is into his cars. turn up the volume 😄

For the wimps out there, like me, who sorn there cars in winter, here’s how I do it. I have a couple of four wheel trolleys and with some strategical placed bits of wood I support the car so I can move it in any direction, to make most use of the limited space in a single garage. The timber supports the chassis and doesn’t allow the suspension to go into full droop. And here it is fully covered with old curtains and thick dust sheets under the Halfords car cover.

Yes I go with that i love going out on solo drives when I can really open the taps but then on the other hand we go out on as regular as possible on area club drives I don't know if you have many other westies near you on these drive outs we drive in a reasonably orderly manner but it's seeing a westie in front of you and looking in the mirrors and seeing more behind you realize just how special it is to own and drive one and to be part of such a great club with like minded members

Message to ones self. Never leave your phone unattended in the house. The parrot took some selfies

Went out for a blast this afternoon to clearing my head after shouting at the electric company all afternoon. While putting Westie away: Things can always get a little worse...

Still investigating the miss-fire. No concrete leads as yet, three plugs definitely showing signs of abnormal combustion some, though not much, soot marking, which would tally with dropping on to one cylinder, while running. One plug completely normal/good combustion looking, the others variations on this: There was a little "loose" oil in the bottom of the plug wells, no where near enough to reach as far up as the electrical contacts, but enough to wet the plug threads taking them out - I couldn't get any more oil out. before removing the plugs.
