Supercar Sunday 26th June 2011

Odd question for those of you attending. Would anyone with a S4 or S4s mind me connecting some test equipment to their car for a couple of minutes. All that is needed is a connection to the battery and then to start the car and run it for a couple of minutes.

My company manufactures automotive test equipment and a particular test will not run on my S4s due to a high level of electrical noise from the alternator. It would help if I could see if this is something specific to my car (dodgy alternator) or something Esprit specific.

(If it works it will give you a report on the condition of you battery, alternator, starter motor as well as doing a power balance test and checking the engine for compression issues and misfires).

Alan, happy to let you play with my S4 bits!

[mangel]

Oh and while we're on the subject could someone run a diagnostic on my car while we're there!!

I have the cable, the disk, the computer and a serious lack of talent!!

[dodge1979]

I second that Mangle....Ive got all the stuff too but cant seem to get it working...anyone care to give it a go?! Id love to know what my engine light is on for!..oh and the ABS....Im better with spanners than a mouse!

[Sparky]

[Bibs]

Happy to help too (and finally meet you after all these years Mangel!)

[PaulEspritGT3]

Although I'm not an expert on Espritmon and Freescan I have got them working successfully on my GT3 and I'd be happy to try to get them working on other Esprits. I'll bring my laptopp and cable.

If anyone is tight for time to make the Pub for the 9.20am departure it might be worth waiting outside the Gaydon Inn (CV35 0HA), we'll be passing here at just after 9.25am and you can tag along at the back, We used to meet here orginally now it's usually full of Datsuns

See you all in the morning.

Martyn

[mangel]

If you all arrive at the pub before me, check out the name of the cottage opposite............................its scary, he's stalking us I tell you!!!!

Bibs, wil be good to meet you too dude!!

[oneshot]

OK

Bacon butties good to go! Also gthe sausage and the veggie sausage ones are sorted

[superdavelotus]

Hi Dave,

Did you get my earlier message 23rd June that I can't make it in time for butties? I was down as a sausage butty.

Is anyone bringing a Gazebo to give some shade? It's going to be a scorcher tomorrow!

Regards,

David

Great day out. Nice to meet so many of you. Thanks to all involved in organising.

I drove sensibly home to start with then got into a bit of hoon with an orange 911 GT3 who seemed to be going the same way. That really drained my battery!

[nigeninja]

Had you very own plug point did'nt you mate if I'd known I would have brought a kettle

[Sparky]

The Tesla certainly gave a good account of itself!

[Backmarker]

Excellent day.
