But a NACA duct is for getting air in. Not to be confuse with the NASCAR duct that some tat catalogues list.

westy doors are great big long things

Most Likely Hypothesis (IMHO) Cam cover is off. Something dislodges the seal from the female of an electrical connector (Injector, temp transmitter etc.) Seal falls into uncovered head. Etc etc. Suggest you disconnect the electrical connectors near the head and see if one has a missing seal.

Phil Enjoyed the Hol immensly. Strange that I spotted your 7 on the first day and not another 7 all 2 weeks, but then maybe not.

Spotted as I arrived in Dingle. Spent all last week looking for another spot. Is it you who accessed BC from this Internet Cafe yesterday ?? I'm in Ventry with this Volvo.here with a rooftop box Eyeball eyeball or 07776 050860 for the next week.

Update; After the sorting of the grinding, I've gone and forgot to tighten the rear wheels and lost one see here. The new discs I've now fitted have even less clearance than the others (about 0.4 mm). This time I've a plan to remove about 1mm of metal from the caliper carrier, as I'm sure it's got enough over engineering to cope with it. This must be a common problem. Unless I've got incorrectly drilled DeDion ears.? Am I one of the unfortunate few 🤔 🤔

So why don't we have the wheels pointing in the direction they are going. 🤔 I've got a few ideas but I'm keeping them to myself for now.

Angus. That'll be good. I've got a downloaded copy of that one you took through the Roll Bar as my wallpaper. Smashin. If you send me the CD I'll do an NTL bung. Thanks. Stuart/Angus Yes, I gave the wheels a really good shaking and there is no evidence of play at all. The disc faulty manufacture theory fits; The contact was all radial, none axial. The radial clearance (cold) only 0.45mm NS 0.55mm OS I Assume the wheel bearings are angular contact or deep groove ? ie non adjustable ?

Roit. Just bin and gone and done it. Smashin job. Did like wot I said. Got two true running discs with 1.7mm radial clearance. What scares me a bit, is that this may be a more common problem than we think.

Thass a good idea ❗ I'll put it in 5th, gently kiss the angle grinder on the periphery and get a pukker job. Only need 60 thou clear I gather. So I got .45 mil and I need 1.6 ish should be no sweat. Trouble is; I just got back from a walk along the beach and some chips etc and I gotta git in the garage and get the brakes loctited back together ready for a blat tomorrow eve. Better stop yapping and get on.

Yesterday, at Heyford, during the track session, I pulled in a couple of laps early 'cos I heard a grinding noise coming from the NSR area. Once pitted, the noise had gone but it was too late to rejoin ☹️. Looking at it today I've found that the noise was coming from the rear disc. The witness marks on the disc show that there was contact. (The NS was worse than the OS) here. When I measured the clearance between the caliper carrier and the disc I got only 0.45mm-0.70. Looking at the carrier here it's easy to see the corresponding contact point. Searching on Tech Talk revealed this here. I'll rattle Caterham's cage on Monday; I've got a recall notice to fix (FOC) a fault on my Volvo that's 17 years old so I didn't ought to have trouble with a 8 year old Caterham did I ?. PS The Volvo recall notice expires on 2030 . And ❗ ❗ ❗ Volvo'll collect my car from my home address at my convenience. Anyway, failing that I could always file them down. I suppose.

My FR locks first as a rule. I don't think its a feature of being closest 'cos the dynamics of the fluid are such that pressure is distributed evenly. I think it's because there's less weight on that tyre as it's "up camber". Actually, I find it's useful in only having to monitor one wheel during threshold braking. Oh and yes, I agree; sticky piston. Edited by - susser on 5 Jul 2006 10:57:28

Off the top of me head, that sounds like Nifty and Ernie Panks. Very local to Snett. check this here But even though they can both travel in hyperspace the Big Welsh Blat could mean that they couldn't be in two places at the same time. Sorta thing. Edited by - susser on 4 Jul 2006 07:58:36

AB 😬 😬 😬 *thumbup*

Martin B You're right on the money with that one. Thanks to you and Alan for getting me over that "activation energy" barrier kind of thing. I hope you both had a pleasant drive home. And thanks again. *thumbup*

Oright here's another thought; I could put 15" ZV1s on the back and be a bit in between Then 21s for the timed. but then I wouldn't have "felt them" wot abaht doin a number of academy days wiv all the possible combos Edited after more thinking OK It's comin to me now; 1, I want to use the day to aquire/improve driving skills. 2, I want to keep on good rubber now (21s/48s etc) I've realised what rubbish hard tyres are (on a 7 ) 3, There's little point in learning to control the car with Pilots on then changing to superior and different characteristic rubber. 4, I'm not inclined to waste the day trying to wear some old rubber out. So I think it's 21s all round. Is that a sound argument 🤔 Edited by - susser on 2 Jul 2006 10:14:55

I am torn between two lines of thought; Put the wooden 15" pileups on. ? They have survived 2 Dunsfold Days without any damage. Run with the 14" AO21Rs and get the grip, more progressive handling and higher speeds. ? Waddya think 🤔 🤔 🤔

Spotted a Yellow Cat turning round outside my gate. In Cantley village, where the Sugar Factory is. Spotted by remote control as I was in Doblin, where the Guinness comes from, watching the Eagles (band).

'spose they would. They aren't trying to be "smart"

But what about speech Niel; 🤔 I would expect them to cancell engine and trans noise without a problem.

I would think that they are very good at cancelling some noises, ie machinery hum and the like. The way they work is to analyse the sound and produce a sound exactly opposite, as Roger said. When I've tried them I found that they take a little while to get the sound cancelled, due to the analysing time, I suspect. I seems that the reason that speech is not impeded is because the speech is not analysed as a repeatable pattern, and so the set can't produce an opposite. So, to move it on a bit and prevent any prevaricating around the bush (As wallace said); Wind noise is caused by vortices being formed and collapsing/shedding etc. The sound is about as random as that of speech (as far as the set is concerned). Therefore, to cut a long story short; I wouldn't expect them to work well on wind noise. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Over

Trouble with a GPS speedo is, I find, that the Volvo drivers (mine indicates 70 mph at 63 actual) get in the way even more, 'cos now I drive to GPS speed. BTW My Cat speedo is pretty much on the money. More by chance though, I suspect.

A pressurised cap will protect a system fom local overheating; For instance, a 13psi cap will raise the boiling point of the system to 115-120 deg C, depending on the properties of the coolant. I believe an unpressurised system, whilst it reduces stresses on hoses, actually makes the system more prone to failure. this could be a boil up, ejecting steam and boiling water, or local steam pockets leading to local overheating (in the head for example). I'm not even going to mention "air" 8u66er

arossa

speaking of which; I've just spent some time at Scholar and I realise that a nice dry sumped duratec is better to look at than 'er indoors. maybe I'll try some of this wife swapping lark, I ought to get at least a set of roller barrels. 😬
