  1. Looks very good - my blacktop Zetec is like that at idle and I always thought the Pinto's were supposed to be lower? As an England fan, damn right - I was worried about the wooden spoon for us before the start. Beating Ireland was miraculous! Really good competition this year - so many unexpected results (except for Ireland, of course)...looking forward to the Autumn Internationals because I'd imagine we'll get hammered by the SH teams - but need to play those games to improve... I'd be interested to know what you guys thought of the 6N - some of the Welsh play, for example, was downright embarrasing last weekend
  2. Pull the HT leads one at a time - if the knocking stops, you know its the engine and which cylinder.
  3. Ha! Shows me to be wrong again - there was a quick fix
  4. I'm afraid this is all electrics and almost every kit car is unique in that respect. You need to get a multimeter out and test the wiring from switch to motor, test the action of the switch with the multimeter etc. Sadly, there are rarely quick fixes when it comes to electrics....
  5. That's very kind of you - you could make a bit of cash on that engine alone. I'd put it on ebay as an auction starting at £50... anything you get is a bonus and much bigger audience than here.

    Trailer - Car

    @richyb66 can knock one of those up in no time Crazy Scandinavians...too many long winter nights...
  7. Great looking car you have there - cool colour...
  8. Yeah, with your ramp and garage of tools, maybe...
  9. I've got a Honda NC700 that I used to commute on but since covid, it's hardly been used, sadly. Mainly, this is because of the Zero taking over my fun trips out. I've recently bought a 2005 Porsche Boxster and I can't afford to keep it and the Zero, so one is going in the next few months . I'm having a nightmare trying to decide which one.... Skoda Kodiaq is the daily car, needed for the caravan, although we're thinking of selling that as well as we just don't use it enough.
  10. Nice - what the heck is that thing on the right of your pic - someone in the club? Is that a Grinnell or something - looks cool. Although missing a front number plate
  11. I've got a GPS speedo and it is FAR more accurate than my manual one ever was . The OP may be able to buy a standalone GPS receiver and connect it to the dial?
  12. Hi and welcome to the club! I agree, I doubt the over-heating issue is the rad (unless it's leaking or got lots of broken fins) and even if it is, you may not be able to fit bigger-core rad in. However, thats about all the help I can give you - I don't have a Pinto and over-heating is one of the few issues (touch wood) I've never had. Make sure you do a search in the forum because I know both of your issues have come up before and there have been lots of suggested solutions which could help you. Good luck!
  13. Yes, definitely sounds like something related to your recent changes. The ECU needs a minimum voltage to work (11V or something like that?) - maybe your system is now sometimes providing less and the ECU is literally shutting down then switching on continually? In the Emerald software, there is a datalogger function - connect a PC up, start the software and drive the car, monitoring the various options - look for obvious spikes or see if you just keep losing the connection as the ECU turns off? I had a misfire issue and it was the wiring to my TPS but I worked it out from the datalogger - details in my blog post about it here.

    Matty builds a kit

    Yeah, the XP did worry me But if it contains PDFs or .doc files AND you have a DVD drive (), might work...
