    Perhaps it is https://www.zircotec.com you were thinking of Anthony?

    Will there be camping at the circuit on the Monday night?

    Both the rerouting of brake lines on the de Dion tube and the revised BMW diff bracket are recall items.

    I can vouch for easycomposites, we use them a lot a work.

    I've not seen this type of work presented like this before. The article doesn't appear to say explicitly what contact geometry or contact relative motion the test rig he is using is, which makes it a bit difficult to comment on it, but I would guess from the results that it is something called 'unidirectional sliding' for him to maintain a lubricant film for the specimen to 'penetrate' as he describes it. You would normally present wear data of some kind (volume, mass loss or similar) usually against something like total distance in sliding, total number of impacts etc. depending on the contact you were looking at, for each lubricant. The way he has presented the data is a bit 'backwards', but sort of makes sense.

    Passed a black /dark Seven on the A38, nice day for it.

    Yep that's what I've done before, although, as Malc says, it's best to use something 'thinner' than insulation tape.

    Ignore me, being stupid...

    Club days have a mixture of trailers and driving there. There's not much accommodation really near Silverstone, but I have left my car in the car park of the Holiday Inn Express by junction 15 of the M1 several times over the years. Many of the local B&Bs are on farms or in little villages so are all relatively secure.

    Tyre Choice

    Dr Slotter replied to RICHCAT7's topic in TechTalk

    I've recently moved to Rain Expert 3 on my Peugeot 106 Rallye (i.e. another light car, by modern standards) and they seem pretty good so far.

    Cheers Dave.

    Have we a likely plan for the Sunday evening's activities yet?

    Having done a bit more research myself into the exciting world of TPMS, BMW winter wheels, insurance and MOT requirements, I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass. Hope you find someone to buy them.
  14. Dr Slotter
    Which BMW was/is it? If it has the function in iDrive to show you the tyre pressures and behaves the same with both sets of wheels on (i.e. it doesn't moan at you incessantly with these alloys on) they probably do, especially as you bought them direct from BMW.
  15. Dr Slotter
    Might be interested! What tyres are they and do the wheels have the TPMS sensors on them?
  16. Dr Slotter
    That looks like a OEM Ford (Visteon) ECU to me.

    A red 7 was a few cars ahead of me coming up from Froggatt before turning right towards Owler Bar.
  18. Dr Slotter
    Haha!

    Saw you heading towards the M54 at the Featherstone traffic lights as we were heading to the M6 in the family wagon.

    Saw someone in the Silverstone Paddock Cafe earlier today sporting a 60th cap and a Seven related t-shirt. Possibly a UCLAN team member?

    In your searching through the archives did you come across this thread? https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/fuse-identification-2010-superlight-r400-stack-dash ​If the fusebox layout has another variant, it'd be useful to know.
  22. Dr Slotter
    Yes, I initially thought it would be you guys but then he said all were yellow and I couldn't think who that might have been!
  23. Dr Slotter
    One of my colleagues passed three yellow 7s leaving Sheffield and heading towards the Peak District this morning at about 7am.

    My wife spotted a blue Seven with dark (grey?) stripe in Wellington at half 5 today (Monday).

    Donington's 'quiet' days are 98dB drive-by. Another L7C member I shared a garage with at Donington recently had no problems with his 420R.
