  1. I did wonder about that but there was no more oil in the catch tank than there has ever been. It vents via the catch tank - pic below showing the setup

  2. Hi Guys!

    I joined the start of the blat to Cheddar Gorge today but lasted less than a mile after developing a misfire *grumpy*

    Had a 20 mile journey to the start point where the car was running perfectly and parked up for about 15 minutes and after setting off on the blat the engine was running horribly rough and developed a strong smell of oil for a short bit. Pulled up and bailed on the blat and decided to limp home where the misfire cleared and the engine was back to running as normal. Have been out in the car again to see if I could replicate the misfire but it's now running great! 

    It's a 1.8l K series in a Superlight R which has been fettled by Dave Andrews in the past. The only thing that we have done to the car recently is top it up with a bit of oil. Up until today, it's been running absolutely fantastically. 

    If anyone has any tips or suggestions on what to start looking at that would be great!

  3. Hi

    After deciding to scratch the 20 plus year old itch, I’m currently looking for a Superlight R if anyone knows of any for sale. There was a nice looking one on Pistonheads recently but I dithered too much and it disappeared from the classifieds!

    Not the best time to be looking but if anyone is thinking of moving theirs on, I’d be interested to hear from them.

    Cheers
