You're in the engines section... If we ask @blue beasty nicely he'll shift it for you.

Took it to WM Anderson Engineering in Kircaldy. Dropped it off @ 11am, picked it up @ 2pm. Perfect, although it is now 20thou thinner (still in spec). Great guys, really good workshop and (most importantly) the right money. The starter ring...

I was a bit scrubby on the outside and most of the bolts had gone rusty so I bought a bolt kit from Ashcroft .... £33 delivered. Put the box on a bench and replaced the bolts one by one. I also got a gasket set so I could take off the covers...

I've had a broken synchro spring give me grief like this, but lots of wiggling of the lever let it fall free. I didn't know what caused it at the time, but all became clear on the next oil change.

Sygic taught me that if there's a hint of slowing on the clockwise M25, come off at J14, straight over the roundabout and rejoin. It's hilarious. (Stay left for as long as you dare before the M4).

Map updates are 'free' on a 'phone too. (I paid for Sygic, so technically its free updates aren't completely free).

went for a run in it today and it was fine, I’ve done nothing other than give it a blow out in second gear for a while, probably not fixed and I’ll try a Webber carb if , when the problem returns.

Boguing, I have been off air this evening due to thunderstorms over here. So I agree and withdraw the response. But it gave me the time to fully think about it and realise why my rather knee jerk response was as it was. The fact is that I hate...

Chonker. I apologise for my knee jerk response, it isn't like me but without knowing it you touched a raw nerve. Explantion why to be found above.

*If it's in your hand. And they've not made a brilliant job of it - if it's in a holder you can only use it 'hands free'.

Sorry SS, but 'tongue in cheek' like that is for AG. And that quoted reply was beyond tongue in cheek.

If there are any popping/coughing noises, check for air leaks. If not, it might be worth checking the float bowl for water.

I'd like to follow that post with something more helpful, but it's not an easy car to fit one to! I use these ball/magnet things in all my cars, but the snag is that the double-sided tape under the base is never quite good enough and you need to...
