Here you go matey - Hethersett Junior School 22 Queen's Road Hethersett Norfolk NR9 3DB Map linky

Welcome to LEF Esprit values vary quite markedly from one country/continent to another. Tell us whereabouts in the world you're based and I'm sure someone local to you will be able to provide some guidance.

Will be a bit late then Chris... the event is actually tomorrow

James, we already have a thread on the the Classic & Sportscar article here

No, in all likelihood it's the condensor - not the evaporator - that's the problem... and that's the one located in the radiator 'cassette' referred to above. That being the case you won't need to to touch the dashboard

That's remarkably restrained old chap! I'd have been incandescent Looks as if you may have been lucky in that 'only' the glass appears to be damaged?

Couple of threads that may help Clicky 1 Clicky 2 Edit - are you struggling to undo the mirror locking mechanism? If so - and assuming the mirror controls are still operational - try using the ^ control to tilt the mirror up so as to gain maximum clearance at the bottom of the unit. Should then be possible to shine a torch beam in the aperture and locate the tab rather more accurately rather than relying on feel alone. Once you've located the locking tab try moving it with the back of a suitably proportioned table knife (instead of the rounded shaft of a screwdriver). If it won't move one way, first try the other... they can and do stick.

No idea Gordon tbh. Hopefully someone else will though... But you'll need to get the front of the car up on ramps or, better still, a lift. Not sure how accessible the condensor actually is but if it's anything like the radiator you're talking about quite a major operation i.e. moving oil coolers etc. Suspect that you may be thinking of the a/c evaporator? Not sure about the Esprit specifically but normally located in the heater box in the dashboard.

Pretty sure it's located in the same 'cassette' that holds the coolant and chargecooler radiators. Accessed from underneath the front luggage compartment.

Cat A - A vehicle which should have been totally crushed, including all its spare parts. Cat B - A vehicle from which spare parts may be salvaged, but the bodyshell should have been crushed and the car should never return to the road. Cat C - An extensively damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road. Cat D - A damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road. Cat F - A vehicle damaged by fire, which the insurer has decided not to repair. Theft - These vehicles have not been recovered and ownership rests with the insurer who made the total loss payment. They are able to repossess the car as soon as it is identified, even if it has been bought innocently.

A sad sight indeed As is this poor old S4

Cragside (country home of Lord Armstrong - one of the Victorian industrialists) is absolutely fascinating and well worth a visit. As is the adjacent charming market town of Rothbury. Nearby is Alnwick; one of my favourite towns in the UK. Its famous castle is also a must see. Over on the coast the idyllic village of Bamburgh and its castle, both overlooking the Farne Islands, are also worthwhile destinations. In terms of good driving roads consider the A697 (Morpeth > Wooler), and two cracking roads crossing the Northern Pennines - A689 (Bishop Auckland > Alston > Brampton) and the A686 (Hexham > Alston > Penrith). Finally, although not really a 'quick' road the B6277 linking Alston > Middleton In Teesdale > Barnard Castle is absolutely stunning.

Happy Birthday Guv What better way to spend your birthday... hooning with ya mates, a nice chat or two, throw in a bit of pointing at stuff and then home to drink all your birthday socks! Have a great evening matey!

I also have fond childhood memories of Tunbridge Wells as both parent's families originate from the area. Bibs' reference to climbing reminded me of many happy hours scrambling around on the Toad Rocks. Doubtless now off limits thanks to the H&S nannies

I'm pretty sure Travis (Vulcan Grey) uses SW too...

Here in the UK anything over 20kg is subject to CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) regulations. This is by delegated authority to to the LMA (Large Model Association) and basically means that the aircraft has to be built, inspected & flight proven in accordance with CAA/LMA regs. Go over 150kg and the model is subject to full CAA airworthiness certification.

We're not at all pleased then?!?! All due credit to one fastidious owner; not forgetting the sterling work put in by Troy and the Project BigSi team

Stacks of the damn things round here too... Also quite a few A5's and S5's which, I have to say, I really quite like.

Sounds like a bit of a find!

Totally bonkers big turbine powered what I saw at the recent LMA display...

Happy Birthday chaps

As Chandra says, see the Stevens Parts Cross Reference guide 'pinned' at the top of this sub-forum.

Wayne, that's awesome! Having been to a Large Model Association fly-in a couple of weeks back I'm now considering building a turbine powered large scale jet. The noise and in-flight realism just blows piston engined models away - speeds of in excess of 150mph have absolutely nothing to do with the appeal either Just struggling to justify the
