Having read the legal notice on their web site which seeks to disavow anything you are told on the website, catalogue or by an employee or director as to suitablity for application or even description of goods and services I'm surprised they didn't send you a potato and tell you it was as ordered.

You will definately need a short throw on the zero due to the small distance between the gear stick and the dash. The type of gear stick will depend on your gear box. The type 9 gear box extends back to the gear stick hole in the tunnel and the modification is made to the gear stick. I know of 3 options in order of cost 1. DIY following the Dave Andrews method 2. DIY using the rally design kit where you cut the sierra gear stick and jiggle the ball to alter the pivot point and fit a spacer between turret and stick. 3. Bolt a new gear stick with a short throw from Rally Design. The MT75 needs a remote gear linkage in the zero GBS sell this and I believe it is always a short throw by design.

One word in Bob's post sparked something in me to do some internet reading this morning. I found this fascinating write up about the recovery of Donald Campbell from Coniston Water. Perhaps it's only me as an ex-diver http://www.bluebirdproject.com/bbp/Retro/retro.htm

Year of manufacture is year of iva test

No that's a half hood

Mx5

PCV valve fits into the silver cylinder then a tee piece but not exactly 90 degrees and two rubber hoses to the inlet manifold

Sounds like the Breathers from the PCV valve then.

The engine breather pipe is split into two after the PCV valve and feeds back to the cast ally injection inlet manifold to burn off gasses from the crankcase and the vacuum generated in the inlet opens the valve and draws out the gases.

Firstly the picture is not an injection head due to shape of inlet ports but that does not matter for parts ID. The rectangular hole between ports 1and 2 and 3 and 4 on the head is for engine coolant. In the cast ally injection inlet manifold corresponding to this hole is the engine coolant temperature sensor for the injection ecu and an out let for a bypass for engine coolant from the head back to water pump (via heater matrix if installed).

Sorry Al I'm working that weekend

https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence To check you will need your driver number, your national insurance number and the postcode of the address on the licence. All points, endorsements and disqualifications are now stored online. Courts and DVLA will no longer update any paper records. In fact the advice from DVLA is to destroy the now invalid paper counterpart to a photo card licence from 8th June 2015 If you still have a paper non photo card licence this remains valid but will not be updated with endorsements. Photocards are only valid for 10 years and the photo needs updating if not the licence is invalid and you commit an offence if you drive. A reminder is sent 2 months before expiry to the address on the licence. You can share your licence details with employers or hire companies by generating a code and sharing the code. The online record also shows current licence entitlements such as towing entitlements and the size of vehicles which can be driven. I have recently become aware that more Courts are disqualifying and endorsing licences in absence which means that there will be more people out there driving whilst disqualified or with revoked licences if they did not receive the summons. I have checked my licence online because I have little faith in government IT projects and thank fully it appears to be correct and I'm going to check it regularly in future. Ozz

Gill Tabby and I had a great weekend. A big Thank you Phil for all your hard work organising this.

If you don't know it means you are normal.

I'll be arriving about 8pm Friday with Gill and Tabby can somebody stay sober to give me a hand with tha big blue tent?

Is anybody else thinking popemobile.

My advice would be to buy the best rivnut tool available. a cheap tool will break and before it breaks will fit rivnuts poorly.

The clear pipe on this one means you can see the bubbles in the tube and if they are gone you know you are done - so a one man job (but I still used the apprentice for brake pedal pressing duty just like my Dad did with me.)

Thanks for the run guys great fun. Roof up heater and stereo on up the 46.
