only about friday going to goodwood for week end .Its breakfast meet there on sunday

[rocket63]

Right, here we go...

 

First, I am not the definitive mechanical genius!  I've just been on the spanners for 35 years, and I enjoy it.  Slightly deranged, some might say - I do love doing Esprit cambelts.

 

Dave, Friday night arrival for me please.  I don't want payment for this; I think it'll be a barrel of laughs, and I'll just eat and drink my fill (in terms of liquid, that could be a substantial amount).

 

 

Might be cheaper to pay him if liquid is the preferred denomination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

See you tomorrow. Will text with ETA when we leave home. Wilf is on jury service yer honour and I will have to wait for security to return her home

[Sparky]

Bugger - rumbled.

[Mike6]

If you run out of jobs my car needs the timing reset (will bring equipment, just incase required by others with cambelt changes) following recent work and the carbs could always do with Sparkys magic tuning.

 

Will bring some bangers etc for Sat evening

[red vtec]

I'll bring my carb tune over as well as well as my stunning personality

[Sparky]

Thought you were bringing a banger in the morning. 

[Bibs]

[Mike6]

Not a banger anymore although could be by Saturday. Even overtook some Morris Minors at the weekend !.

[Dave Freeman]

Down hill or were they parked up ?

[Bibs]

Looks parked up to me...

 

[Dave Freeman]

No....it is moving, downward into a pile of rust.

[red vtec]

don't diss the mighty carb turbos!!

[Dave Freeman]

Would not dream of it Chris"....................

[red vtec]

Nothing burns like a carb turbo

[Sparky]

Careful mate.  Dave said we're finishing up with a BBQ.

[Mike6]

Dont think it was a diss to the carb turbo but more to do with my sedentry driving style

[Bibs]

Never known a man to scream so much like a girl

[red vtec]

Slow and steady Mike, nothing wrong with that.

 

well the cars booked in for MOT tomorrow, just fixed the handbrake so fingers crossed

[dodge1979]

Ive.only flicked through this.thread, so excuse me if ive missed the answer...someone mentioned concerns over changing the water pump at the same time..well as the cam belt is off, there are 5bolts to undo..just remove the auxiliary.cam pulley before.hand, yes if a can of.worms is.opened then it will indicate that more work should be done than just.a.belt.change...contentious owners will do the full hog..

Worms in my cooling system?

[Sparky]

I have every intention of going at the pump, but it depends how those bolts feel as I don't want to strand Colin!

Doesn't look like I'll get there tomorrow night, but what time's breakfast on Saturday?  And I've lost your postcode, Dave!

[Dave Freeman]

Pm sent to you sparky.
