First track day

[Chiefy]

Just done my first track day with my Westie. Brands Hatch, sunny afternoon......fan b****y fantastic!

I couldn't beleive how well it went and put a lot of Elises to shame as well as M3's.

Then came the problem.....an electrical or fuel issue ment it barely made it round for 3 laps on mt second session. Checked everything, changed the fuel filter and couldn't find a problem. Missed the rest of that session but after that ran faultlessly again all afternoon/evening.

Then played up on the drive home. Anyone recomend an auto electrician in the Essex/Cambs area because I've got to get out on some more track days.

A real rush, even with the misfire/cutting out issue and felt like this is what the car was ment for.

Glad you enjoyed a full on Wessy experience  

Before you blame the electicery , check and make sure the tank is vented properly, its happened to a few of us

Already had that problem, couldn't get the filler cap off due to so much pressure but should be OK now as I placed a vent into the filler neck and cap was fine with no hissing when removed.

Might be a faulty battery or battery terminal. The negative post moves abit. Could this be creating a bad earth?

Would you recomend a racing battery, say Redtop 20 and is a poor earth a common issue?

Thanks

SparkyB was a Cambs resident and an auto electrician, but the lanky t*t moved to Scotland.

Halstead Auto Electrical would be the place I'd go.

Thanks Sam,

Might give them a call as not far from me.
