  1. Hi chaps don’t know if anyone else got the email from the show owners saying stoneleigh is no more.   There saying it’s no longer viable and the kit car show will now be a combined show on June 3/4th June at the three counties showground Malvern Worcestershire 

    newark will still happen on the 22nd / 23rd 

  2. On my M5 I have a tracker by ‘TRACKER’ and with one -phone call I can disable the engine was told if you say shut it down now they will shut it down weather it’s doing 10pm or 110mph. 
    I also have one on my Zero that I can remote cut the engine from my App and it shows me where the car is.

    if the noise disappears when you remove the fan belt, its either the alternator or the waterpump.

    They would give a whirring noise if the bearings have gone, not the deep knock you have.

    Agree 1000%.  Was just trying not to pee on his parade as the sound I can hear through my speakers is very distorted 

    I bet a full rebuild on a pinto these days ain’t cheap.

    E10 fuel corrodes COPPER PIPE. Inspect carefully and regular 

    The AA are already stating if your car breaks down and you have filled up with E10 they will not respond as it’s not a break down but “user error “ 

    lets see if in the coming months we start seeing posts on car suddenly running rough 

  5. Find a local rolling road -by the time you buy a timing light etc etc someone that knows engines will find this in minutes 

    even if you find the problem and get it running better by the sounds of it you will still need it put on the rollers so why spend money on buying bits when it has to go on the rollers anyways!

  6. Coughing back through the carbs is a sign there running lean - does it cough when always cruising  as in if at 1800 rpm or 4000rpm on light throttle  or If it’s just at the 15-1800 rpm range then it’s the transition phase.  The zetec was a nightmare for this ( don’t know what engine you have ) and Weber drilled 3 progressive holes to try help the process but it never 100% fixed the problem the only way to 100% eliminate it is to go full management but in the mean time you might need to adjust your driving style
