Oh C*ck
-
I have overfilled my dry sump and it can have consequences, tank fills up and then oil started being thrown into the airbox. Normally as said you need space so best thing is to run it up to temperature with bonnet off, switch off and immediately check the level before all the oil leaves the tank into the sump pan/engine, this will give you an indication of how much oil is in the tank while it is running. I think on a K series it was about 9", not sure if a duratec would be about the same 🤔 Nick

Anyone got a couple lying round in their garage they want to sell to me cheap *wink*ish Nick

Laurence Perfect for me, count me in as a definate. Nick

The significant difference with the Hi Spec brakes is the unsprung weight saving over the standard calipers. The Hi Spec ones are 0.9Kg each. Had no issues with mine on standard solid 232mm disks. I do have the upgraded master cylinder though. Nick

I do hope I can go to this.

Lemo connectors are really good quality but you'll need deep pockets. Nick

Looking forward to the article Nick

Laurence Good to hear you are nearly there on the rebuild Regarding shock rebuilding, revalving etc, are your Quantum shocks very similar to the Nitrons, infact would they use the same shims or are they completely different? It would be really good to look at different shocks on a dyno and dispell a few myths by revalving/shimming them. As I understand it from talking to you when you popped round you can set a shock up to what ever bump/rebound curve you want if you have the right shims. Would love to see a demo of this process.

Laurence Good thanks. Ended up getting some second hand Nitrons and am in the process of getting the suspension re powdercoated, rebushed and ready to go back on the car. How's the rebuild going, must be nearly there now? Nick

Excellent

There are some clever people. Nick

Chris This is the video for the Quantum Shock revalving Ride Tech website is quite interesting. here Nick
-
Chris I would be very interested in seeing this and getting more info on shims required to change the damping characteristics. It may well dispell some of the myths of how these shocks can be customised. I have seen a video of the Quantum shocks being revalved and it looked fairly straight forward. Not sure how you would know what you have achieved without putting them on a shock dyno though, apart from just fitting them and driving the car? Could be a time consuming exercise. 1 vote from me anyway. Nick

We have had a sealed pressurised system for the last 5 years and that seems to have sorted out the airlocks. Nick

Why oh why do plumbers not fit isolation valves either side of central heating 2/3 way valves? Nick

So in response to Ahmed's original question it is OK to use on of these kits to get you to the garage for a proper repair, much like using foam but it is not a permanent fix for a puncture based on Jonathan's post. Nick
-
There is a BS Standard for tyre repair and I think this is why they are not supposed to be used in the UK. Details here Nobody would know if you were to use one of the kits, unless you have a blowout and it causes an accident and the police look over your vehicle and find the plug repair. Not much of a risk I would have thought 🤔 Nick

What about this onehere? Just in your budget, good colour. Nick

-
Thanks Dave. Bit cheaper than the £35 Caterham charge. Nick
-
Please can someone confirm this here will be OK as a replacement in my imperial widetrack lower wishbone? They seem much cheaper than other quotes I have had. £23.67 incl VAT each + £1.92 delivery for two. Nick
