Re: Queen Square, Bristol 12/10/2014

Hi Andrew, Some Great Pic's there as ever Andrew, Cheers for posting. Love the 1st one of the 280, then of course the red RS2000, I will say I have seen a few in Red, but Black and White seem the most popular followed by the Yellow, from what I've seen at different shows this year. But my favorite, ...

Re: Brooklands 2014

Hi all, Cheers for the link to the arrival pics Andrew, nice find. Also looking forward to the DVD too, what a great idea, for what was a GREAT DAY out. I've already been looking for a show or two local to me, but as yet nothing to go for. Looks like the season is slowing down, roll on next year.......

Re: NEW original parcel shelf on ebay....

Hi Nick, That's just scary!!! £415 in the end and as Turbo Mike says, if he'd offered delivery, who knows what someone would have paid for it. I know there are purists out there and all good and well to them, but when CCI sell what looks like a dam good replica for about £60, Ouch!!! I just hope it'...

Re: 2.8 Running Issue

Hi, I have had the very same problem and as it has been pointed out above, mine was fuel delivery. My tank had some shit in the bottom, which got caught in the Mesh on the Fuel Pump in-let, the short pipe coming out of the tank straight into the pump, pull this off and check there. Then as said, cha...

Re: Gearbox / diff oil change

Hi there, All I can add to this, is to ensure you check what Diff oil you get. Even though I got mine from a well know Capri parts supplier, it WAS wrong. I thought my LSD Diff was on its way out, even after Andrew said to double check the oil. Anyhow, a quick visit to an Axle specialist in Watford ...
