If they're the chrome fronted version you can get K&N filter cleaner.

Bob Jones (BJ Racing engines) recommends 5W 40 Fully synthetic for XE engines.

I got my Titan pump fittings from Think automotive a few years back, I did however provide a pattern. And they made me up a nice girly braided one n' all. Neil

I have a brise kidney shape DS tank in front of the radiator as passengers prefer the comfort of a long cock pit its nice and neat & out of the way with a 6ish litre capacity. Alternator exhaust side. Neil

My car was booked in with Dave Singleton at Boss originally but he didn't have MBE software so a few phone calls later by Dave Atspeed came to the rescue (sort off). I trailered the car off to Raleigh Essex to be greeted by for want of a better expression a load of kids taking pictures of my BJ built XE engine. A guy came out whilst I had just unloaded it and proceeded to adjust the carbs to a point where it no longer ran. Somewhat disillusioned I made a call to Steve at Track & Road who had just had a cancellation, so I voted with my feet and took it there who did a fantastic job and would highly recommend them. Would I use Atspeed -NO-

Morning blatchatters Would anyone know if the main 'K' series top & bottom hoses (x3) from the Classic silicone hose manufacturer are the same for a 16V XE? They look remarkably similar in appearance. cheers. Neil

I fitted a DTUK unit to my 160bhp Insignia and even on the highest setting (reputed to be 200bhp) it appeared to make little difference to performance. I sent it back for them to check and they claim it worked fine, I re-fitted and tried it again with the same result. It then broke down ☹️and got towed to Vauxhall to rectify, I haven't got it now and the cars been fine since. DTUK in my experience

KUMHO ECSTA V70A, I use the the soft version (50 tread wear) and they appear to be on a par with 13" CR500's, Proxes etc. No problem at all (as yet) on the road and they hold their own in the damp on track. There is a bit of a problem with cost however at about £120/£130 a corner

General enquiry really, considering fully synthetic for S/C gearbox 🤔

Smith & Allan appear to manufacture just about every type of oil imaginable, has anyone had any experience of any product 🤔

The Brise one would be fine, unfortunately they can't knock one up until May ☹️

Other than Brise is there another manufacturer of the front chassis mounted kidney shaped DS tank in the South East? Cheers Neil

And this one is 'ALLOWED' wheels which will come in handy DOH
