Many thanks to marshalls, time keepers and recorders and the Chris for his rapid results service.

An excellent days competition, with particular congratulations to Clive in Class 1 for his first ( and well deserved) class win.

I had a quick word about the AO21R tyres. The only ones available now are:-

185/60/13

205/60x13

185/60x14

No others available, and he wasn't sure about any possible alternatives becoming available.

As previously - an excellent service from Polleys and didn't charge for fitting!

PaulB

Any info on start time?

Thanks Paul and Bec

.....on Saturday - have to go to Ely anyway , so thought it would save postage. Does anyone want me to collect any for them too? You would need to collect from me near Market Boswoth, Leicestershire.

A539's £45+vat. :-)

PaulB

Andrew - could you confirm that you have had payment from the Bostons (just to make sure I haven't sent it to the wrong account!!)

Paul and Bec

Hi Andrew

Can you sign the Bostons up for a place if one is still available.

How do you want paying?

Paul and Bec

Our thanks too for all the hard work involved in organising the awards dinner - it was excellent to meet up with everyone. Big thanks to Chris for the very nice picture/season summary done for every competitor.

Paul and Bec

Agree with David and others.....

PaulB

I agree with Stef and CheshireCat  - keep Class one as standard as possible. If people want to spend money upgrading engines etc,  then other classes are available.

Rang a local Ford garage - service dept said they should do this.

I'm not convinced though.

Has anyone else got the 62bhp model? Does yours do this?

PaulB

Thanks for this Richard.

Would increased use restore the function of the seals or once dry is that it?

Paul

POBC.

Went to view a 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.25litre (10K miles) as a possible first car for daughter 1. On tick over with air con on, the air con pump was cycling on and off every 20 seconds or so.

Is this usual / expected / anything to worry about??

Thanks

PaulB

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone local to Leicestershire got some tracking equipment I could borrow? - I need to set the tracking on my Defender.

Thanks

PaulB

All sorted.

thanks for all the replies *smile*

Paul and Bec

Bec and myself can now do Sunday at Epynt

Bit to late to get a paper entry in. Any suggestions?

Also, has anyone got a map reference for the course, as this will be our first visit?

Thanks

PaulB and Bec

XXXX TOY (?) spotted this afternoon Ibstock - we were in the Defender Camper

So......

bought the bits from Redline - ordered Friday, arrived Saturday morning

Started to remove wishbone - ok until trying to get the bottom damper bolt out - the hex bolt has a bit of sheared off Allen key stuck in it - some one in the past has obviously either over tightened when assembling, or failed to get a very tight bolt out. ☹️

I guess I will have to remove the damper with the wishbone to try to get the bit of Allen key out.

PaulB

Thanks for all the responses - will have a at dismantling it tomorrow evening.

PaulB

Thanks Ian.

It has only failed on the near side, So I might take you up on your kind offer.

I think it is a spherical bearing (deffo not a trunnion type) - is there any other type.

I assume it is a matter, of taking off the large nut and removing the circlip. What happens next?

Paul

☹️

POBC

What is involved in replacing these?

- are there replaceable parts or it new wishbones?

- does anyone have a link to an exploded diagram of the setup?

Thanks

PaulB
