You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it. cool.gif Lol, I was some little Mazda thingy. Hate to think what that said

Usually dislike this sort of horoscope type stuff but this one is really quite good. (Borrowed from a Sierra forum) http://www.tomorrowland.us/sportscar/

Nice part of the country, Ok so maybe not the Peterborough weekend but why not another. Sounds ideal just for a camp out and chinwag..

Didnt know about this but it says in the Evening Local, custom, kit car, american and auto jumble http://www.geocities.com/transtaruk/beaumanor.html

Has anyone used this and what do they think of it? Noticed Halfrauds have them.

Me and my better half keep Black Rock hens purely for their free range egg laying abundance Problem, is the minute you step out of the back door or the garage door they`re straight in. The one in the picture always hops on to the drivers side lamp and just stares at her reflection, but today after I nipped out for 20 seconds, she got in and the bonnet was up with the engine running. Luckily she was away from the wheels and belts but she was dancing on the battery. Think ill have to get a garage spring door closer.

Something up with the Locost website too

Decided 3 years ago now to plumb in a wood burner that heats up central heating and water. Still got the gas for when you just need to heat up water quick etc. But now our winter gas quarterly is just £15. And the logs come from council tree and ground depots for free. Mind you the burner costs aroun a grand and £250 for a log splitter. But still worth it...........

Excellent. Nice one Boggie

Think ive found the problem, when stripping the carb I noticed a mixture screw missing on the affected carb. Seems like it fell out in Yorkshire. Seems that the stiff ride of a Hood can eventually rattle everything loose. Now a tour of the bike shops is needed. What a great feeling, not paying a garage.

Well slowly I am learning the basics of mechanics but I do have a problem with misfiring. I am getting into the RHOCAR way of thinking and refuse to take it to a garage (well unless I havnt done it by the time summer comes and goes) Its a pinto ohc 2l with R1 bike carbs and lumention electrics. I took the car to Bogg Bros and it went like a rocket after. But 2 hours into the drive back it started to backfire like mad. The engine sounds like its running on 3 cylinders especially when its revved just a bit from idling. I used an inline spark tester which shows the plugs to be firing well, and the chopper in the dizzy looks fine, Ive replaced the dizzy, plugs and leads, visually checked the timing at no1 tdc, done a compression test (all cylinders 9.9 and 10 bar) Ive loosened the carbs and squeezed them on to the runners a bit more (this has reduced the backfire) but now there is a strong smell of petrol. Also if I put my hands over the air intakes, no1 doesnt do anything where as the other 3 will slow/stall the engine. Im about to attempt to check the valve clearances then scarily enough strip the carb. Do you think Im going down the correct route? Thanx

Just been looking at helicoil type kits on ebay. If they do what is says on the ting then I think they could be a useful asset. Cheers Phil

Does anyone near Leicester have a spare bracket that the alternator bolts to on a 205 pinto? Beer tokens issued. Or are there any products that would fix a slipping thread? Thanx

lol. Plugs are real oily so hope its not a valve problem

Hope this helps Sure did, it ran fine for about 15 minutes now the old V8 sound is back and backfiring a lot. Have to check the spark when i get a minute and possibly the bike carbs as they have a tendency to come loose at the manifold hoses.

Maybe a dumb thing to do, but have replaced plugs, leads, diz cap, rotor arm to try curing a misfire, and Im not entirely sure the leads are on correct. See picture Cheers Andi

Was down Norwich for the weekend and went to Snetterton Sunday market. There was a guy there selling brand new biker helmets for £24.99. Ideal for aeroscreen users. Nice n cheap

Yup! It was the starter, well solenoid. But the problem was intermittent. Wasnt till the 3rd time of dismantling and cleaning that I found it. Got a recon for£45 that looks brand new and all is wel. So glad it wasnt the flywheel.

On cranking the ignition Ive started to get a horrible grating noise from the starter (either that or a slight delay before cranking) Ive read many previous postings and it seems like it could be the starter gear, or at worse the flywheel. Just checked the connections and the solenoid end to where all cables go is very loose at the wire end but not the other. About to strip it all down but would be handy to know if this would be the cause. Andi

Yes, but yellow and brown liquid.

this one even

Went to Bogg bros today for a tune up. Made all the difference . video As you can see by this low quality phone vid. Sorry try this linklink
