I'll drop over when I get back to the UK. Not sure I can help much though, but I can drink your coffee and commiserate I assume you have cleaned the filter and checked the pump and the jets and all the usual stuff ? And are you sure it's the fuel ? Could be the ignition (coil?) breaking down when the engine warms up,

This saves us the problem of meeting up before as we are now automatically grouped up.

Thanks Ian

Thanks Ken for the headsup we have been allocated a Stand, it's the first I had heard of it. There seems to be a bit of confusion here, probably my fault. At http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=42632&hl= I asked for names of people who were attending the Stamford Car Show. So far only 4 people have replied. (I accept the subject title was Lincolnshire meetings and did not refer to Stamford) And at the post Ian referred to there were at least 10 people who had registered. It appears that actually 12 of us have registered to go and the organisers have therefore allocated us an actual Club Stand (unless someone else has been in contact with them to organise it?). So can we have confirmation of attendance here please. I do NOT want to turn up and find we have only 5 cars on the stand, that would be VERY embarrassing, So far I know of : Me Nigel (niDuncan) Richard (richard7) Pete Lee Ken (2bcruisng) the others who registered were: Chris Brown Derek (Derek) Paul (the spanner man) Peter (peter2b2002) Paul Jordan (Later: Rejected due to meet being oversubscribed) Dave (Hawknorth) (Later: Rejected due to meet being oversubscribed) Ian (Ian & Carole) (Later: Passed on to Chris (tractor)) If someone registered but is not going could they send Chris (tractor) their registration code so he can use their ticket ? (Later - Thanks Ian) Cheers Al

I will be checking with Mick first, but something like Item 251203110543 on E-Bay looks OK. The symptoms were a gradually increasing rattle from the exhaust pipe that was obviously internal. I had hoped it was just the silencer losing it's baffles, but when the mechanic inspected it he said the cat internals were disintegrating as well.

Maybe the Rover engine vibrates more than the Pinto ?

I envy you then, it's a pain in the neck at MOT time as it is the one thing you cannot check before it goes in. I wonder how you got away with it ?

As I started this thread I might as well add my recent experience to it. As you will see from the first post, my cat/silencer had been mounted direct to the chassis, with no bobbin, for 7 years and 9000 miles with no problem, but I was persuaded to change the solid rear mount to the rubber bobbin. Seemed logical and it did improve the noise level and it stopped the continual failing of the manifold/exhaust joint. As I said at the time, it was a 'bleeding obvious' improvement, Well, one year on and 2,500 miles later my cat and silencer have both shaken their internals to bits and need to be replaced. So maybe it wasn't so obvious after all Luckily Jeremy (jmspec) has stepped up and saved my bacon. (It's been said before but it does no harm in repeating it, this Club and it's members are amazing) So now I shall do what I should have done a year ago and listen to the wise old heads of Mick and Bob and mount the cat/silencer at both ends and fit a flexible joint,

Looks to be working OK in Microsoft Edge as well. (Just upgraded to Windows 10)

I think I saw the same one as well, on a stand ? Pretty expensive though.

Mine was given an age-related plate (08) and the emissions requirement is printed on the V5. I guess yours was 'Q' plated ? Looks like 'jmspec' can help me out, otherwise I will check with GBS.

Actually I had forgotten I have a wedding on the Saturday down in Devon so it's very unlikely I will make Doddington either. So it looks like just the 4 of us for Stamford.

The original Rover non-Turbo engine, but I guess that wouldn't make any difference ?

It looks the internals of the Silencer and the Catalytic Converter have shaken loose on my Superspec so it isn't going to pass the MOT. Unfortunately as far as I know it was a bespoke part of the kit ? I know I could replace the silencer fairly easily but the cat is another matter. I remember seeing that GBS do a silencer/cat combo that could probably be made to fit. But does anyone know of an alternative solution ? Al

Yes, Chrome and IE are fine for me as well but seeing this symptom on Firefox Logged out - shown as logged out Closed Browser Reopened browser Went to RHOCaR Showing as Logged IN So I guess it is a problem with just that browser.

Good call, I had forgotten that. I now have mine printed as well

That's very poor isn't it ? I have a suspicion you can only go if you have been before. Mind you, I haven't been back home to see if my pass has arrived yet Maybe I've been bumped as well

I tried everything I could think of with my floor carpets but when I saw Pete Lee's car where he used aluminium treadplates I gave up on carpets and used those. Much nicer, easy to clean and don't get rucked up.

As a general question, what do people use to glue the vinyl on ? I used EvoStik on mine but found that in very hot weather it melts and the vinyl at the back comes loose. (Mind you I got the glue from a Pound Shop so it might be a Chinese knock-off )

Welcome to August. I'm still on extended holiday till the middle of the month (it's a hard life being retired), so we just have the 2 events I will be attending: 1. "HorsePower at the Hall" - Doddington Hall, near Lincoln. Sunday August 23rd at 14:00 2. Stamford Car Show - Sunday 30th August at 10:00. I see from the website they are now fully booked, but I gave everyone plenty of notice about this months ago so if you didn't book I have no sympathy Be grateful for names of those who did book in time and will be attending. So far: Me Nigel Duncan Pete Lee Richard7 More details nearer each of the dates as regards 'grouping up' for mass arrivals. And if anyone wants to arrange something else earlier on the month please feel free. Cheers Al

For any non-Lincolnshire member who may have missed this, you are more than welcome to join up with Richard, Nigel and Helen 12:00 at the Muskham Ferry (http://www.muskhamferry.co.uk/) NG23 6HB. Al

I'll take them thanks. PM sent.

Well done to Richard and Tom for braving the elements How about we try again for next Sunday (26th). And it's time to move back down the County again so Richard gets a drive of more than 300 meters So I propose 12:00 at the Muskham Ferry (http://www.muskhamferry.co.uk/) NG23 6HB. Any takers ?
