    Stilton Run 2025

    The weather looks good for Sunday. We are meeting in Hornbeam Lane LE15 9BF, as usual, and leaving there at 10:30. Please let me know if you are going to join us.
  3. I changed from a 2ltr pinto to a 2ltr Vauxhall red top I just filled in section 7 of the V5 with the new engine number and the different cylinder capacity. (1996cc to 1998cc) The V5 came back changed to the new details. Nothing else required.
  4. A good positive article..... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/kit-car-loophole-beat-ed-miliband-petrol-car-ban/

    Stilton Run 2025

    Yes, but there is only 5 of us going at the moment so I will wait a couple of weeks and see what happens. Fancy the Fox again or somewhere else?
  6. One of the very rare occasions I used the rear fog light. But good to meet up and the ride home was great in the sunshine. Just got to clean all the mud etc off
  7. If you are going to join us, subject to weather, please can you let me know so I can book a table. Thank you.

    Stilton Run 2025

    Registration for the Stilton Run is open now. https://stiltoncheeserun.uk/ Its £15.00 per car to register this year, usually this is a donation to charity. Please reply to this post to let me know you are going, weather dependant of course.
  9. How about using a nut splitter, no heat applied https://www.screwfix.com/p/hilka-pro-craft-nut-splitter-set-2-pieces/535HP?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArva5BhBiEiwA-oTnXZjME35YtrD6sw7ywavKMlf0tP-DphMvVbg9VWLeSlMaq1u8zy0_IhoCWf8QAvD_BwE
  10. Many years ago I had a knock in my pinto which turned out to be a burgered lobe on the cam which was probably caused by the oil spray pipe being blocked. I cannot remember if it disappeared when a plug was disconnected. If you are overhauling the engine perhaps pay attention to the cam etc. I did have to call the truck of shame to rescue us from the M69. We were on our way to Stoneleigh at the time.
  11. Hi Jonty, I wrote an article for the mag Autumn '93, I don't think I mentioned the material I used but I will have a look later to see if I can find it.
  12. Found this on You Tube, this is how the inclined plane used to work.
