Intended to be at this event but lost sight of it so to speak. Looks like it was a great day with fantastic cars. Trevor Skedge.

ok got a few things on at the weekend but will try and get them out of the way in time for breakfast. Trevor.

Well done and thank you John for organising a pleasant evening. Trevor.

What time are you planning on the Ace Cafe as I might be able to get there if early. Trevor.

A bit off topic but here is a pic of the offending thermostat. Trevor.

Jez, No problem and nice to chat to you. John and all, Thanks for the welcome last night, what a great bunch you are and all very helpful. As the temps dropped on the way home the car ran cold all the way back and I suspected the thermostat was faulty so today I have replaced it but yet to...

Hoping to get to this one. Look forward to meeting whoever is there and hopefully a Rover V8expert would be nice:thumbsup:. Trevor.

Thanks all for your advice. I was interested in the Redline oils as had heard great things from the Ferrari sector as the 308/328 cars suffer from poor 1st to 2nd changes and lots of comments on how Redline had improved this. Currently the GT40 changes well but it's the Esprit that is weak on...

What is the current opinion on best oil to use in the Renault UN1 box? I have heard great things about the Redline oils but not sure which one to use. Any opinions/findings? Trevor.

Success last night but not until it was too late to make the club meet in Surrey unforunately. Couple of issues being an ageing fuel pipe on the tank side as it connects to the Facet lift pump. This ran in a U to the pump and as the pipe aged it became soft and eventually kinked therefore...

John, Thanks for the heads up and will have a look at that. I have ordered a fuel pump which should be in this afternoon as the fuel pressure was low and the pump a bit noisy. Replaced the coil, distributer cap and rotor arm which made no difference. I also cleaned up inside the distributer as...

Andy, No sh-t. Brakes are awfull without the servo and have been trying to convince myself that it's just because I'm so used to having servos on the modern stuff. May have to fold and bow to your greater knowledge no matter how much it hurts:thumbsup:. Will give the coil a try but not sure if...

On my way out I had chance to see if it would start and yes it did but on what I think is 5 out of 8 cylinders. Assuming the front left is number one and it continues backwards to 4 and the number five is front right cylinder then no's 1 5 and 8 (from memory) don't appear to be firing as these...

Will check a few things out this afternoon and post what I find but don't imagine it would run as bad as it did in terms of cutting out rather simply running poorly and rich. Car wouldn't start at all last night and there was no temp gauge reading. Trevor.

Thanks Ian, I have a new fuel filter fitted and the distributor cap and rotor arm are recent. It's not something that has got worse as it was fine before but something that has broken down as it's more of a cutting out than a misfire. Trevor.

Andy, Near the coil? Trevor.

Took the car out for a run tonight and on the way back it started misfiring badly. Initialy the car stalled at a set of lights but after cranking over for 3 or 4 seconds it fired up and away I went. From then on it would run along cutting out and misfiring all the time. If I put my foot hard...

As usual spoke too soon. Went to the Ace Cafe tonight in the Tornado and all was well on the way up there but half a mile from there on the way back things stared to play up. Will start another thread asking about this but if I can't sort it then will haveto leave it until the November meet...

Hi Ian, Hope to catch up with you there assuming I don't decide to take my car apart and fail to get it back together in time as I did for the Colney Fox meet. Trevor.

I'm hoping to get to this. Do you get many turn up? Trevor.
