  1. Thanks for replies ,

    main use is  steady progress on roads ,

    loved the a021s but not allowed now !

    so hot favorites are continental eco 3    ,  khumo v70  ,  of maybe uniroyal rain experts,

    Dont think there is any more choice really than them !

  2. That will be me then stridey ! with the bath plug under my brake pedal !

    very nice inflation of trouser leg at about 60mph 

    Nice while touring in france !

    well worth doing this mod

    used 50 mm air duct hose similar to carb heat piping in light aircraft

    cable tied to  front right hand side chassis tube running along past oil filter to back of pedal box where your 2 inch pop waste is fitted.

  4. Hi Martin,

    Just thought i would share my similar experience.

    Car starts and ran fine until 10 minuits up road and squeezing the loud pedal a bit hard i found at about a constant  80mph   it  did a sudden ignition cut for a mere second ,  *thumbs_down_thumb*  i would back off and the car would seem fine.

    Had a long french trip looming so changed plugs  and cleaned jets.To try and sort.

    Car then repeated the same problem , so a trip to Peter Baldwin at Wilshers Garage Royston revealed the same issue on rollers.

    We stripped off the Dizzy cap (Aldon Ignitor) and found loads of carbon type dust in there,gave it a thorough wash out , it apparently causes tracking at high revs. 

    Replaced everything and all is fine now 2000 miles later.

    I also had a problem when blipping throttle at low revs engine trying to cut, all it was i found the spark plug gaps were worn way too big (about 1mm)causing week spark

    New plugs gapped sorted this out ,and i can now sit and blip throttle  *smile*

    Hope this is of some help.

    Richard.

  5. Hi Craig,

    Thanks for your interest in one of my grills

    Here are some sizes for you to check if you decide to proceed,

    As you look at the front of the Grill where the right hand side pegs are,can you take a measurement from the base of the top peg,
     to the base of the lower peg ( where it meets the perimeter of the grill).
    The   measurement should be 205 mm on the later Grill    (post 2010), and 210 mm on the early one  (pre 2010)

    Thanks for your interest,

    Regards Richard

  6. Hi Mr P,

    Regards Richard.
