Mrs Westy Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 Thanks for clarifying that, Guy Worst thing is, it happened on Friday so he never even got to do a timed run in it Still came second though, by breaking the golden rule of "never beat the person who lent you their car" Quote
adhawkins Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Still came second though, by breaking the golden rule of "never beat the person who lent you their car" I thought that was supposed to be a secret? Andy Quote
adhawkins Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Probably not...but I'm sure Keith used a 'sssshhh' smiley when I was speaking to him about it last night Andy Quote
Blatman Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 sure do - a con-rod And do we know what caused that? Quote
adhawkins Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 This is hearsay (I think that it's what Keith told me on Friday after it happened), but main bearing failure? Sound plausible? I think (again) Keith was seeing low oil pressure, but he thought that was a symptom rather than a cause... Andy Quote
Mrs Westy Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 Probably not...but I'm sure Keith used a 'sssshhh' smiley when I was speaking to him about it last night Aaah well it will all become public in the commentary anyway Edit: main suspect is a bearing; give it a few hours more of Westy "working at home" and he may be able to find out more Quote
Blatman Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Ouch. Main bearing failure leading to a total seize, then? Nasty... Just how many bits of metal has Westy fished out from the car? We could have a guessing game.... Quote
Rob Navin Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 It could be bacause I have a small compared to the rest of my body. Thats how I mannage to get it in to a narrow bodied car In fairness though I am more than happy that I now have digital proof that my A*** does not look big Quote
westy Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 sure do - a con-rod And do we know what caused that? Yes it needed a refresh Quote
Blatman Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Just pushing F5 failed to work, then... Quote
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 It could be bacause I have a small compared to the rest of my body. Thats how I mannage to get it in to a narrow bodied car I thought it was because it was Cream that you could fit Quote
