Re: London Christmas Dinner Orange Tree Wed 13 Dec 7pm
Hi Neil I'm so glad that you are organizing this! It used to be one of Chris's little missions he had to complete and from beginning of November it was spread sheets of who was coming and who was eating what! Always a lovely event and it would be great to attend albeit in different circumstances - I...

Re: Sitting with Chris Turner
I have managed to sort the funeral out for Friday 2nd June at 2pm. It will be in the Ogden Chapel at south west Middlesex Crematorium, Hanworth then afterwards at the Fairmile in Cobham! Seemed the obvious choice as there is plenty of parking there! Please bring a picture of your car or Chris with a...

Re: My engine won't come out
Thanks for all of the suggestions folks. I like obvious - obvious is normally the culprit. I have no aux air pump, but the clutch mini lever and little spring, plus circlip and longer lever with monster round spring are removed, but not the starter motor, where I've just disconnected the cables - i...

Re: My engine won't come out
Forgive me for suggesting the obvious (if that is the case). Have you removed the clutch omega spring arm and the short clutch operating lever completely , and the starter motor ? Have you removed the auxiliary air pump and it's holding bracket completely? If you have then it seems likely that the b...

Re: Brake wibble
Depends on the diameter of the brake disc but anything above 0.002" may start to give symptoms like pulsing of the brake pedal. If you take your car to your nearest friendly mot station and get them to put it on the brake testing rollers, with light but constant pedal pressure if the needle on ...

Re: Brake wibble
Sam, the poor quality of materials currently used in most manufacturers brake discs almost ensures run-out developing after a few hundred miles. For this reason many manufacturers insist that on car disc brake lathes are installed at all their main dealers. Porsche GB, and many independents like mys...

R.I.P Steve Hewlett
Very sad to hear the death of Steve.
He broadcast a series of interviews on radio 4 over the last few months detailing his ways of coping with his terminal diagnosis and the subsequent treatment, hopes and fears as his treatment progressed.
