  1. Mine is a 1600 K not had time yet to do a compression test but have the kit (thanks Neil).
  2. Yes please Neil, you know where I will be.
  3. Haven't driven it since, hopefully some time on Sunday to investigate further. Just hope it won't have scored the liner if piston ring is the problem. Almost like having a cross flow again!!
  4. Maybe not as bad as I thought then, thanks for the reply.
  5. Coming back from Birmingham Sunday noticed a small amount of smoke from the bonnet vents when stopped at traffic lights just before getting home. On inspection the foam filter is soaked with oil and despite the engine running oil smoke is coming out of the inlet. The same happens when the dipstick is taken out. No noticable loss of power but guessing at best it is a head off job or engine rebuild (it has done just shy of 88,000 miles) Or time to go R300 power!!
  6. Three in convoy near Wadworth's Brewery. We were the yellow 7 heading towards the London Road roadworks which I guess you all suffered. Off somewhere nice?
  7. A chum of mine has a pair of black 7" headlights for sale. Blatmail me if you could be interested? Regards Paul.
  8. Thanks chaps, it is an early K series SV I have a multi meter but embarrassingly not sure that I know how to use it!! Away at the moment but back tonight so might have time to investigate further
  9. Had an interesting trip back from Swindon last night Jumped in the car, started fine, put sidelights on while belting up etc. Then switched headlights on and nothing apart from sidelights. Tried rocking the switch on and off but still nothing, flash facility worked fine so decided I couldn't wait for AA and drove home keeping my finger on the flasher, getting the odd flash from oncoming and staying well back from traffic in front. Fuses all ok, changed switch over and still no headlights, next suspect is the relay, anyone know which of the three is headligts? Other than that I guess it must be wiring. Any suggestions? Regards Paul.
  10. Thanks Peter, funds transferred today. Regards Paul.
  11. Hi Paul, I know you say not new, but I would give Protech a call if stuck as their pricing is very competitive and would be bespoke manufacture. They did a set of non standard fronts for me, when I changed over to Siltech Racing Aerofoil wishbones, almost immediately and choice of colours on the bodies too! Protech Shocks, tel. 01225 705553 Unit 10, Lysander Road, Bowerhill, Melksham, Wilts. SN12 6SP

  18. Hi Andrew, I would like all the pads (fronts and back) if still available. Will it be better to send via Parcel Carrier etc. due to the weight? Many thanks, Paul.
  19. Yes please Mike, how much for postage or are you anywhere near Wiltshire? Regards Paul.
