that's great ...thanks all for responses. Must admit I haven't found the locking wire. I'll take a closer look :) thanks again Rog

Thx Paul, I have ordered 2x CC part no 72120. (assumed one for each side, until i realised the CC parts didn't include the extension piece) How did you separate the ball on 'extension piece' (3) from the cup on droplink (4)? Cheers Rog

following recent MOT which noted that I have play in the lower 'ball' (4 below) and the ARB - looking at CC website they do not seem to sell a droplink the same as (4) and (3) together. I now have 3 &4 removed as one unit any ideas? cheers Rogdroplink.tiff

working ok for me - I'm on OSX Yosemite Rog

interesting that on following the link to the MSV pics, they seemed to think we were Lotus On Track*frown*

A belated 'ditto' ref the above comments regarding last Friday's Club TD....superb. Organisation of the day itself and the trackday 'eve' curry, were spot on Good to see the 'buddy' system being appreciated. Phil seems to be a happy customer despite the fact that Delbert was his buddy :) (sorry Derek...couldn't resist;) now I just need to get the BEC working Rog

thank again guys...sorry for the delay. Decided I had to abandon the BEC and get the SLR ready for CP last Friday. Just to recap: New pressure sender fitted and I'm getting the same problem. 0 PSI indicated on Stack at idle - red warning light on Stack comes on as revs reach c.4k "Low Pressure' I called Rich Price who guided me through another instrumentation check by removing the main Stack connector from the dash. Based on the readings, he believed the instruments to be ok, particularly with new sender fitted and oil present at the sender. I did not previously disconnect the Stack, so struggle to see how previous actions may have resulted in problems. I also re-drained the oil from the DS tank to check the hoses that had been removed were free from blockages etc. Nothing found. Hoses can only be reconnected in the right sequence due to the length of the hoses and the 'directional' nature of the JIC fittings. So....Rich suggests the fault could be a jammed / open pressure relief valve great fun...... Rog

Well a new pressure sender hasn't done the trick either*mad*

see you there Phil, as others have said there'll be plenty there to lend a hand. Rog

Hi James - forgot to add to my posts on other threads. I'm happy to be a 'buddy' Do we have a venue for food tomorrow evening? Rog

TonyW - if you get fed up with your fellow ReHaBers and want to go into Group 3 , let me know. I'll swap. Groups look good PS You can't bring that funny looking car above - it's not 7-like*hehe*

Looking forward to meeting some new faces tomorrow / Friday. Now it's just fingers crossed that the oil pressure warnings are the pressure sensor and not something more fundamental post oil change*driving* Rog

Thx Jonathan, I've sorted out the stack buttons now, so with the Stack readout set on Oil P & Oil T, at idle pressure reads 0. I left car warming up for 6 mins at still the pressure read 0. Raising the revs gradually to c.4-5k and the Low Pressure words light up, red light comes on and it reads c.6psi off to do some more tests Rog

...should have added to the above. Topped up oil further to 4.25 ltrs. Oil level hot at about 1.5 inches above the baffle plate, 3 mins after switching off engine Rog

Just changed the oil in the BB. Used 10W40 Rock Oil Semi Synth. Put 3ltrs in to start and removed the plugs to crank the engine. The Stack dash seems ot be playing up, but cranked the engine for c. 1 min. Just been out for a quick run round the block. At idle everything is ok, but once revs rise, the digital read out on the Stack reads 'Low Oil Pressure' and the numbers are down at 0-7psi!! Red warning light also comes on. As the revs fall (idling at lights etc), pressure warnings disappear. Car ran no problems at Cadwell last year - no warning lights etc across a full day. Just wonder if the Stack / sender etc is playing up? thoughts ? Booked in at CP on Friday Rog

I can only echo James' and others' comments. Anglesey is a superb venue with the option of different track configurations. It was at this circuit a couple of years ago that a few of us encountered a group of TD regulars in respectively RS8, GT3 and a Nissan GTR. The gentleman in the Skyline later approached me, aghast at how our cars had lapped these quick cars. He later emailed to advise that the GTR was going and he was off to talk to CC about the then, newly announced 620R - cash no problem clearly. A fantastic day surrounded by beautiful scenery Rog

Ok here's my ten ha'penny worth. I am on the MT. I enjoy trackdays. I can also understand that SOME people may arrive at their first track day completely 'blind' and on seeing competition-a-like cars, could feel a bit disconcerted. I attended my first Club TD in my old Xflow with clamshells at Cadwell. I took a mate, who being very mechanically minded, started helping other drivers with various technical problems, whilst I slowly gained confidence on track. There were regular drivers and seasoned racers complete with be-decalled cars. Everyone was courteous and helpful. I saw the race drivers as a source of knowledge so took the opportunity to pick their brains. I do accept that such an approach is not for everyone. So the key is in the messaging that goes out with the track day enrolment paperwork. James and Dave are making great progress in ensuring that the pre-TD atmosphere is as welcoming as possible. Publicising the TD eve curry night and adopting a buddy system will help. We are also looking at Intro to TD options for beginners which will help in future.That said, will all of this displace everyones' concerns? I doubt it......we're all different. Recognising that getting the track availability is not an exact science, I support the TD at Anglesey on Sept 30th (great circuit options), but we do need to make sure any beginners get the support before and on the day. Perhaps we could ask if any weekend sprinters at Anglesey, who also sign up for the TD, could volunteer to adopt a beginner? And again a meal the night before. Rog

Hi Dave, A question that has been asked often times before :) I did some research into this a couple of years ago. Ultimate Carbon are definitely worth a look. Or you could try Carbon Mods. When I looked these guys seemed ok but things may have changed since then - it's a bit a changing market as folks come and go. A little further afield (Germany) is Westermann Motorsport. Give each of them a shout and if you do a search for 'carbon' here on BC you'll find some folks commenting on previous posts with some more first hand experiences. PS - whereabouts are you? - I'm just north of Derby. Happy to chat if required. Blatmail me your info Cheers Rog General Secretary

Hi there any tips for replacement. Having found a small pool of fluid below the car and no clutch operation, I've ordered a replacement from DK Motorcycles. Any tricks I need to be aware of? Cheers Rog

Hi James, Nick Chan, his son Dom and I are (for better or worse) going to camp at the track the night before*woohoo* But please add us to the curry / beer list Rog

A few die-guards (or The Daft Ones) typically camp at the track the night before and head into Louth to meet up for food. in previous years we have also used an excellent B&B in a beautiful Rectory just outside the town. The owner myself have retired by now but I can check Having spoken to James and Dave, we're very keen to get any newcomers to Club trackdays and/or Cadwell to meet up prior to the event, so I may break with camping tradition and see if there's still space at the Pack Horse. the local curry house and Italian restaurants are ok too Rog Gen. Sec.

Thanks Jonathan, I was reliably informed that Stack had ceased supplying.....just wondered if there might be an alternative source cheers Rog

Are these available?

from my 2000 SLR. 2 piece with centre bolt. Pics available on request. A few scratches but solid £20.00 plus P&P. Located just north of Derby Rog
