It's possible... As long as your gauge isn't an old fashioned hot wire type and moves fast enough... If that's the case a push button may not be practical

you have made a superb contribution to the club

not so sure... crown of piston is perfect.. plugs all look good wasnt being hammered when it happened engine was a complete unknown 4 years ago when it went in.. completely bog standard apart from inlet and exhaust (jenveys/ omex ) the bore is most likely recoverable after a hone, once have done that may have to price up what can be done

no stoneleigh for me.... number 1 piston went and fetched a donor mondeo yesterday

well nice to meet up with you... shame i didnt make it to the end no compression on number 1, 8 bar on the other 3 cant see the car making it to stoneleigh... anyone know of any good 2l duratecs going ?

i have plans somewhere for a build your own spark erroder.... one of the jobs i havent got round to yet

will bring my lid , and i am sure i can find some restraints!

mine is the same.... bmw hp pump, stripped of all the bmw stuff, and in the tank... no issues so far. filter is mounted in the boot

yes thought thats what it said.... have booked a day off....(or at least penciled it in....) can cancel if it all goes pete tong

this is the friday ??? could be up for that . finish standby on the friday morning, so would depend on how bad the week has been

would guess at 100mm long, but depends how the spacers at the bottom were done.... get longer then go find some speed bumps!

stainless pickling paste works (used when welding stainless) but its really nasty stuff and unless used at work quite expensive

only just seen this, and had forgotten

1 pate 1 cured meats 1 beef 1 pork thanks

arrive individually but before the show opens ? 10am i think ? pay on the gate and follow the signs to our parking area....so all get to park together and take the mickey out of each other

Hi all. another date for your diary normally a good show and very well attended by a large variety of cars and crafty stuff for SWMBO let me know if you want a ticket- i am currently working that day , but trying to get out of it so i can come out to play invite below Dear Charity Classic Enthusiast, Once again it’s time to start thinking about this year’s Country Fayre & Classic Car Show. The date for this year’s show is Sunday 9th July so put it in the diary now. We have a great day planned again with all the usual family entertainment that make this event so popular. Admission charges are being simplified this year in an effort to make it quicker for you to get in. A flat rate of £10 per car will now apply regardless of how many occupants. It will again be collected on the day on presentation of an Exhibitors Pass so there is no need for you to pay in advance. We will try our hardest to keep queues to a minimum and will be coding the tickets again to get you to the correct area quickly. Thanks for your patience.
