my ticket now gone Rick
-
Boris - YHM Martin - 1 ticket only (ie 1 person). Car pass ticket not available; I would add that car pass tickets have registration number printed on pass so not really transferable. Cheers Rick

I've 1 x 3 day ticket that I cannot use without bullying wife. Club discount price totalled £43 + 'transaction fee'. (Silverstone added a £3 booking fee to the ticket price - cheeky sods). Price on ticket is £80 and the price is now £102!!! I have added a couple of quid to cover postage. Mail me if you want it and I will get the ticket in the post - I do have tickets. Happy to sort out payment after you have received ticket. Rick

Thanks for replies. I confess that I have not had problems with diff or gbox but seem to remember seeing some comments regarding additive to diff although searching archives I cannot find anything. Possibly my memory failing. I would love to replace the seal at the angle drive so as it is possible in situ I'll have a go. Any tips? Cheers Rick

What thoughts on additives to LA diff (I am looking to overfill by 0.5ltr) and additives to 5 speed gearbox. The car is 1.6Vx and mainly road use. I do loose some oil from gearbox where speedo cable enters gbox (I think) and will have to tackle this at some point but as I understand it is an engine out job I am trying to put it off for as long as possible. Thanks Rick

Thanks guys. Rick

Thanks for the replies guys. How the hell do you sort out the 2 (I think) fixings that are accessible from one side only. To get to the other side would seem to require removing inner trim, I presume that's why they were rivnuts. Cheers Rick
-
Having spent longer than most of you seem to get an engine out I have removed the rear wheel arches. What a sh1t job. I will be putting the same one back but what is the best way to do this with respect to fastenings? Most of the nut & bolt fittings came off (eventually) but those held by rivnuts pulled through. There must be a better solution. Rick

Saw you being recovered from hard-shoulder just south of Hatfield; around 11:00 Tuesday morning. Hope nothing too serious. Rick

POBC - where to buy; HT leads, dis cap and rotor arm? I understand the engine code is C16NZ2 (Astra F). I think part number for dis cap is 90442011N (found on a web site) but I am a little confused over HT leads. Those shown on 1 web site for the C16NZ2 do not look correct and the ones that do look correct (90487571N) are listed as for a different engine. Have not been able to find rotor arm. Thanks for any help. Rick Rick

Guys - thanks for all the help. I shall 'set-to-it' this weekend. Hope it goes better than Saturday; pushing car out of garage, I also have quite a liking for the smelll of petrol but my wife dosen't (although my true sniffing love is currently WD40) I successfully pushed the car over my newly purchased fcuking air-flow meter (and broke it..).

There has been a slow but steady build up of brown staining down the side of my car clearly from the carbs when driving. Can anyone point me to what I should be looking for to stop this as I have carbs and inlet manifold off the car. ALSO...should I use any form of gasket sealant between gasket and manifold/block.I ask as there was some used previously. TA Rick

caterham don't do 'em

Any ideas where I can get one? Thanks Rick

Handbrake knob has once again made a bid for freedom and on this occasion successfully left the car. Need a new one and have emailed CC to see if it is possible to buy, if not I will need to make. Does anyone know the dimensions (diam/length) and thread size. It is 1998 car and under dash type. Not only but also........live in Welwyn Garden, any suggestions on where to buy battery - 53034. TA Rick

I am very local, corner of Handside and Bridge Road. Unfortunately work clashes with the Wednesday meeting but I did meet up the other Sunday. Had a really good drive with others from M25 services to Ashwelll for the noon meeting. Whereabouts are you? Rick
-
forgot to add that she did see you (on the roundabout?) and instructed 'navigator' to wave back. Rick
-
that was no young lady ....that was my daughter. You have good eyesight as it is R reg. Rick

You were heading from rothbury towards scots gap, I was in tin top going the other way. Did flash but looked as if you were stuck up behind a car so probably didn't see my frantic flashing. Great road, great day for it. Rick
-
Can anyone recommend a garage in the Welwyn Garden area for daughter's KA. Looks as if the clutch slave cylinder may have 'gone' and I understand this is a gearbox out job. Rick
-
Hi Alex Got everything from fastroadcars except the bl88dy bolts. The ones they supply are not the same length. I'll do a internet trawl. Rick

Having unknowingly lost a bolt from inlet manifold holding carbs (cause of crappy tickover etc) I have struggled to find where to get such bolts. All other bits and bobs got but 'standard' bolts are not long enough. Can anyone help. TA Rick
