Simon, collection from Woking is fine. Just need to let me know which day so I can be in. Graham

JONBOYLAW, please let us know of you want the polisher, I am not sure it is the random type and has 2nd dibs down. PC will be taking stuff to the AO meeting.

are you cranking without plugs to get a good cranking speed? Graham

I discovered my unused Catstart doing some clearing out! Never got around to fitting it. It is very clever and does ign on, off and start all on one button. See here... here £50 ono. Graham

I thought racks worked either RHD OR lhd, you just have to turn them over 😬 Graham gridgway

Sold! Nice to meet you Dan. Graham PS whoops, you didn't take your 1p change!

got that one! Mailed back. Graham

Mail not received Paul. Graham

Dibs awarded. Yes it's a regular Ipod, just stores and displays photos as well as music. These new fangled ones do it all with videos too. The Ipod photo was the first foray away from music. I can dig out a charging lead (ipod clone), but prob not earphones. Graham

used, but works as it did when new. £30. Graham

As it says, really, good nick. £59-99! Graham

A couple of thoughts... number 1...8 bar is surely not right, that is 120 psi, far too much. You must have a guage or pressure problem there. If it's the releif valve, that's an engine build problem. number 2...you are seeing lubrication problems and your previous engine let go with lubrication problems. Is that the same effect from the oil system installation? What common components are there? Hope you get it fixed without too much further cost. Graham

Just beware, there is a downside to the gel batteries. They tend to have lower cranking voltages. So if the ecu is touchy about voltage (such as on the olde worldy R500), they are not as good. I had to ditch my "upgrade" to an Odyssey and "downgrade" back to my banner (all those years ago). Also, many people who put diff physical size batteries in have to do a bodge to keep them in the battery tray. So the joy of adding lighness is destroyed by the engineering poverty of the bodge! Graham

I have some used Matador slicks that I need to get rid of. They were for my Rad Clubsport. They are all used but still useable. I don't know if they will fit a caterham, the rears have a larger rolling radius than the fronts. 5 no. 185/530 R13 2 no. 210/560 R13 Available for collection in Epsom, donation to NTL gratefully accepted! Graham

dunno Johnty, must have been me! Graham

Johnty, have you been drinking again? Graham

re-read the ph thread again. The question is whether all conditions have to be met. Trailer less than 750 in weight and vehicle MAM less than 3500 and combined MAM less than 3500 and vehicle MAM greater than trailer MAM. Graham

Yep, I see what you are saying indeed. What does "a trailer not exceeding 750kg" mean? GRaham

No I am not sure it does help! It says "the MAM of the combination does not exceed 3500kg". If the MAM of the LR is 3500kg, then that in combination with any trailer will have a combined MAM of more that 3500kg. Graham
