    twice yesterday at Cadwell Park, the drivers door blew off the 'hinges' - leaving me trying to hold the door on with just the rear and lower 'poppers' to prevent complete disaster apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to be behind when this happened. The main rods were fully into the hinges on the windscreen before setting off *confused* - would the fact that the car has clams create some weird vortex at track speeds 🤔 never had this happen on the road - any suggestion for a permanent cure....apart from getting an aeroscreen and half doors 😬

    That would have been Dave 'Dusty' Miller returning from Cadwell. He and I left c. 1610 but I was separated from him at the lights in Horncastle ...it was a great day 😬..and I know Dusty enjoyed it too Rog

    investigating a rear indicator problem - I found this wire almost completely chafed through. The wiring diagram I have doesn't show which light it connects to - any ideas? Rog
  15. RogNeedham
    😬 😬problem solved. I removed the rear wheel and follwed the wire back through the wheel arch, through the panel next to the fuel tank, down onto the chassis tube and found the wire chafed through. The handbrake cable was rubbing against the group of wires cable tied to the chassis 😔....... inserted a new bit of wire and.........nothing. Rear indicator not working with front going twice as fast. I removed the grommet going through the inner wing and got access to the connector that sits in the space next to the fuel tank. Undid it, blew in it, put it back to tgoether and bingo 😬 😬 this posting is left to assist any other unfortunate souls who gets really pi$$ed off with silly electrickery problems

    n/s both indicators work fine at normal speed (indicator and hazard) o/s front work at twice speed o/s rear does not work (both with indicator and hazard) bulb is fine earth inside light unit is fine having done a quick search on Techtalk, I assume the gremlin will lie in the connectors next to the fuel tank, under the rear of the car Rog

    The car in question is already on Pistonheads - link is below. Meticulous attention to detail. Definitely someone I can vouch for Rog here

    thx all for the suggestions. Compression tested it today -all reading c.7.5barwith engine barely warm. Took it for a run round and bar a bit of spitting from the carbs and split top hose (now fixed) all seemed ok
  19. RogNeedham
    thanks Roger for your clarification. having done a 'search' on SPR I've noted where the engine number is to be found - so once this damn bug will allow me to venture more than 10 yards from the bathroom, I will investigate further. One other observation was that when I increased the revs (2500RPM +) the clatter disappears. thanks again Rog
  20. RogNeedham
    ☹️not yet - have picked up this novovirus bug........wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy Location changed to: not far from the bathroom

  22. RogNeedham
    *thumbup*thanks Peter Rog

    I'm sure it's the water temp sender here where can I get one? - Redline? Cheers Rog

    thx all for the comments: Terry I'm in Derby (a long way from W.Sussex) have been in the garage again this evening and have checked alternator bolts - ok exhaust not fouling body gearbox bolts - ok gaskets not blowing engine mounts ok in fact listening to it more - I think 'tractor'.....but it runs smoothly and starts easily. It's almost a diesel like clatter got a local mechanic mate calling round tomorrow to have a listen thanks Ian for the time earlier Rog
  25. RogNeedham
    mmm - food for thought. Have had a look at the gaskets and they're new copper ones. my reputation goes before me eh Ian 😬 no tools under the rocker cover bottom of sump is a bit dented but not by much at all - will take a closer look if anyone's over this way next weekend - would appreciate a second opinion Rog
