Leaving the car park at about 4.00pm, owned by a NT Volunteer who I chatted with.

The "real" Seven is mine 

Believe it or not I did the same thing last month  and like you I couldn't believe it

I got home OK but when I went to start the 7 for its annual trip to James Whiting for its check up and MoT it wouldn't start. I'd put 3 galls of VPower diesel on top of about 3 galls of Vpower petrol already in the tank. I didn't realise Shell sold VPower diesel! I pumped most of it out using the SU pump which replaced the old mechanical one, leaving just a little which I thought would be so dilute it wouldn't be a problem. BIG mistake, it started OK but pumped out clouds of white smoke  so I drained it again and this time took the petrol tank out and flushed it with clean petrol and then it was fine.

Getting rid of the petrol/diesel mixture was another story.

I use James W and Mullen Speed Shop also.  

I have a CSI Airflow permanently wired up. You do have to check the electrolyte level from time to time as it does go down.

BigCol, YHM.

I've got No, 195/500 of Auberge signed by AF and CR.

I fitted one of these  http://www.stagweber.co.uk/taxonomy/term/6  to the Stag recently, very easy to fit to the flasher unit. If it's too loud you just cover part of the unit with tape until you're happy.

The one with cut off after a set number of flashes also looks interesting.

A number of years ago I had a problem with my Series 2 1500 Cosworth which was due to the pipe from the petrol tank, the bend where it leaves the tank, becoming partially blocked with sediment. I'm using a SU electric pump and once the float chambers had emptied the car spluttered and I stopped, then the pump filled the float chambers and off I went for a short distance till it happened again. 

Yes, that's the one.

In Sainsburys petrol station this morning.

Wrong place 

Test 2

My S2 1500 Cosworth with twin 40's had similar symptoms and I changed all the HT leads, plugs etc with no improvement. I suspected the Webers and had James Whiting  checked them over and found them perfect. JW has seen similar symptoms and wondered if something in the petrol was leaving a deposit on the plug insulator which caused a short and suggested I use the 3 electrode plugs (NGK1263 / BP6ET). These improved matters but the problem returned and I am now convinced it's a problem with the HT leads and the screw in connection to the plugs. I now put the plug leads on the plugs first and then on to the distributor. Probably totally different to your problem but I will look at Magnecor leads if my problem returns. 

Another for MISAB plates.

Another vote for Berghaus Gore Tex Paclite . Worked well at Goodwood yesterday.

If you have any problems I'd speak to James Whiting who looks after my Series 2 and has done many rebuilds.

Blue Caterham gatecrashed the Lotus International event at MBWorld/Brooklands today. About 300 Lotus cars present and 1 Caterham 

Roger, it took a little while but we got there in the end  

You can't but you can get a 10" inside 

I bought the 28 led version http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/28-led-high-level-brake-light it's a bit smaller but hopefully just as effective.

I fitted it under the roll bar with 2 cable ties through the locating lugs. No resistor needed; once i sorted out the polarity it was an easy job.
