I can just get my manifold in and out on my monocoque but I haven't got a servo and I move the steering column extension out of the way. I then get the manifold out by twisting it round with a sort of corkscrew action as I manoeuvre it back and upwards

According to my weather app it's looking reasonable with low chance of rain and sunny intervals in the afternoon

My breather goes up vertically out of the tank for quite some way then turns and goes vertically down to form a long U bend. I redesigned the fill point pipework so that I can get the hose filler nozzle well into it and don't seem to have slow fill problems

What's the weather been like over in Leicester? We were thinking of going to this show but the weather has been horrendous in Aldridge with floods all over the place! Bit concerned we may not get on of off the show fields if we go!

You may find that motorcycle spring compressors will fit

Great! I find it's always worth trying Ford!

Have you tried your local Ford parts department? I believe the part number you want is 1591622

My rad has a bleed pipe welded in by the manufacture which goes back to the header tank. I've also fitted a bleed tee at the rear of the cooling system (the heater end), (heater? Wimp!). I have no problems bleeding the system.

The "top hat" (dummy strut) fits through the hub carrier and is clamped in place by a large bolt which has to be slackened to turn the dummy strut. The top hat is made from 2 pieces welded together, that's probably the weld that you can see. On my 3A I've fitted a safety bolt into the strut just in case the main bolt comes loose!

You're lucky that someone can repair it. When I had a chip in mine it was too close to the edge of the glass (20mm) for them to come out and fix it. Bought a kit off eBay and did it myself!

I've been thinking of buying one of these as a tuning aid but are they any good? Ebay 121978632419

We forgot to take any photos! Anyone got a photo of my car C433FAH?

I agree with Andi. My carbs were supplied with 1.8 mains as they said that in their experience that was what was needed. Ended up with 155 mains after the RR session.

Well the car ran perfectly to and from Stoneleigh. So the fault looks to have been in the only 10cm piece of 30 year old wiring left on the car even though I couldn't detect a break in it. Let's hope it doesn't reappear! Great weather, just like the old days! Thanks to all involved in doing our club stand.

Make sure that you brace the brackets really well. The tie bar puts a lot of stress on the side of the monocoque and can cause it to bend inwards.

You will probably have to set the COMS port so the pc will see the megajolt https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/MJLJ_V4_Operation_Guide

I had no problems last year when I had to leave early. Make sure you park on the outer edge of our area so you can drive straight off

Rewired the sensor (no fault found) and gone on a test run. No misfires so roll on Stoneleigh! Fingers crossed!

Up at 5.30am stripping out and remaking the sensor wiring - haven't found a break in it yet. Got to get it ready for Stoneleigh!

Thanks, I wondered about that but why would the tacho drop to zero and not bounce up and down when the misfire occurs?

No it didn't but at least I've got a spare now and I've learnt how to take the connector apart!

I run a megajolt and edis system. This year I've had an occasional bad misfire such that the engine will not pull. When this happens the tachometer drops to zero. The tacho takes it signal from the megajolt dedicated tacho signal output. Logic says that there must be an occasional fault on the PIP output from the edis to the megajolt? Am I correct or is there something I'm missing?

I must be lucky with my car (it's not a superspec though). My pipework runs inside the top side rail of the monocoque body so it's well above all 4 calipers and I've never had trouble bleeding the brakes. I probably will now I've said that!

Just seen this on eBay, item 153001449631 Is what the seller saying about the dvla true?

Try doing it the old fashioned way if you've got a helper.
