SootySport Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm not going to have the car ready for Sunday, having trouble finding a new Thrust Bearing for my type 9 box. Looks like I won't be coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevip6 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'll have a spare passenger seat if you fancy a co driver trip? My friends Dave and Phil in the Purple Westie might we be tagging along. Think they went to the March meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Pete Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just seen the post about timings, plan is to meet at 9:30 at the Lodge in South Woodham Ferrers ready to leave around 10am. Sootie - Burtons should have one and I'm sure they do mail order Has nobody else got a tomto or Garmin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN99W Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 It appears my car will not be ready in time for this blat either. While I've just finished bolting everything back together and have installed the fluids, I've got to go to work now so starting it will have to wait until tomorrow. Finger's crossed it starts without problems, but the show stopper for this weekend is the fact that the earliest I could get it booked into a rolling road is next friday I've gone from 1.8 to 2.0 litres so don't think it would be prudent (or even possible?) to drive it more than necessary.

Pistol Pete Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 First off - well done getting it all sorted. If you fancy getting involved still, I have a spare seat and am based in chelmer village so no problem picking up up - just give me a shout.

Mark (smokey mow) Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 For any Colchestrians or us northerners with a CO postcode planning on comming along a couple of us are looking at convoying from Colchester to the meet point. I'm suggesting meeting in the carpark of PC World in Tollgate for 8:30 and then travelling down through Tiptree and Maldon by this route if anyone else wants to join us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 SBD have found a thrust bearing and are posting it Pronto. Still have plenty of other things to finish though. May come as a passenger as Kev has offered a seat, Ta mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
