Spell check? Ah come on!!!

Don't you feel embarassed by us Dutch guys not needing spellcheck...

no not at all

well done

Its 10+ years since i fitted piston rings but i belive that they would go on behind the oil ring

we will be falling over ourselves

Then H&S will want to get involved:(

think i'l stay in bed tomorrow

There's no one of that name in the current brighton phone book

Here's another one

Last year all we had to cope with was the dust

Ex Southdown

Nice to see you haven't been idle Chris

I'll be at Amberley

I think its about 110 miles so about 3 hoursish i am ok with what ever time you think mid day arrival sounds about right

Only one cat to get you up our two kittens start about 5.30! i go back to sleep !!

Result!

 

Ok, so to start this plan off shall we meet around 09.00 in Hooley?

 

I'll have to look at a map to work out what time we'll get to the M3.

That aok with me just need to sort paul at my end

Mike

I'm thinking that us brighton lot could meet you at Hooley there used to be a layby on the southbound side by a cafe if its still there

May be Mrs C done im in

Theres two comming up from Brighton m23/m25

We could meet up with the coulsdon lot if there's somewhere suitable

Thankfully the skills of Jack and joris have selvaged quite a bit of this tread. Just a quick recap on the brekkie side of the event. Who's having breakfast for the weekend, there are 50 up for grabs so lets help Dave out while he is on his holes and get a number together. This is problebly the best time to have a head count as well.

Tony

Yes please Chrisg 1

Yes Thank you Jack & Joris well done

Started to have withdrawal symptons

I'll be there not sure if there's any money to spend as i hydrauliced the engine on the Citroen yesterday mega bill :cry: :cry:

Paul

Is it still smoking

Might be worth checking that all the leads on the coil are clean & tight

Chris

Yes we met briefly at seaford I'll pm my phone number give us a call tomorrow evening

I would agree with clive that a miss fire under load would seem to indicate ignition problems try running the engine in the dark with the bonnet up and see if there any stray sparks anywhere

I should be around between christmas and new year if you need any help

Chris

Its probably a bit of an old wives tale that an engine becomes hooked on easystart.

The use of easystart usually masked some other problem like lack of compression which just got worse & worse so using more & more easystart

Chris

Did the recovery service come to a explanation for the wheel coming off

Its a problem with a suspended rear tow and left hand threaded wheel nuts i'm told that it generally only effects the taper seat type of nut not the more modern spigot mounted type

They should be checked before towing and again after 20 miles or so

Any unburnt fuel in the exhaust can/will ignite with spectacular results!

Not caused by coasting but blown head gasket
