As per usual when the AA turned up it fired up first time. Piece of scrap that it is. He thought crank sensor too so that is going to be my first point of call to change

tried that, doesn’t look like it has activated but have pressed it to see if it does anything. Thought that cut the fuel pump but I can hear that prime.

When I go to start the car it starts than then just runs out of puff within 30secs and cuts out. Then it won’t start. Cranks all fine, immobiliser light off, fuel pump primes. I got the AA out the other day for it as I was a bit stuck, took about 20mins to turn up and it fired up first time. He...

Had the day off to clean the Skoda I picked up recently. Put in a large order at AMDetails the other day to sort it as I ran out of pretty much most things all at the same time. Do like to give any new car I get a proper deep clean . So I rinsed it, iron fall out, snow foam, rinse, wash...

My E34 needs to sell so I can get some funds to paint my Ph1 and get it finished. Then will be worthy of another post in here. But do I just get it painted titanium or change it to Odyssey? Seats being fitted next month then need to organise a wheel refurb too.

I'm not doing the hill climb now, for the cost and doing it in a big red barge is not really worth it, although doing a hill climb is something I would like to do in the Clio. And yes, seeing a timetable there does appear to be a lot of waiting and I don't think the girlfriend would appreciate...

You just driven through Quedgeley twice? I was given a dirty look by the girlfriend as I stopped listening to look at a Monaco Ph2

Sure the last time I went I saw cars going up a few times. It isn't clear on the email or booking page. Not a member of the forum and there doesn't seem to be any questions on the track time thread there.

Does anyone know what the deal with the track time? I've been short listed and about to order but it is £50. Is that £50 for one run or several runs? If it is for one run it is not worth it. If it is for 3 or more then yeah I can see it being worth while.

Dope would be fine as I saw that thing go up the other year.

I'm going in the E34, even applied to take it up the hill, eventhough my Ph1 qualifies for the pre-2001 rule and will be better suited to the hill climb! But where is the fun in that.

I need to stop looking at threads like this and eBay 🤦‍♂️ there are very few things I would sell my E34 to fund or waste invest my savings with no thought as to where to store it, but this is one of them. Damn. I so should have bought that Odessey when I had a chance to many years ago. I am...

The interior has started to rattle like a mo fo. I knew the drivers door card had a rattle when stationary. But now the dash and something else is rattling 😫 sure it is the warm weather that has caused this. Damn thing.

MoT test this morning....passed first time! Was pleased with that. So treated it to a good wash as it hasn't been done for several weeks now So plans for it. I am like dragging my heels with it, mainly as I am having less time and it is the daily car. So I am now activley on the hunt for a...

Has paternity leave….fixes car. Priorities Congratulations.

I agree with this. Perfectly comfortable and fine when in normal mode then if you want turn it to sport and it firmed it right up, or it did it to my liking at least. If I were to have another I would go passive and then replace with Bilstein dampers. I also need to not read this thread. As I...

I drove mine through a flooded road once and didn't die. That was a funny trip - went to my friend's house, not been for a while and first time using this which had sat nav. I knew where they lived but there was a short cut they used and my sat nav was directing my what I thought was the same...

New driveshaft fitted along with fresh gear box oil. Will see if this cures the flat spot noise. Otherwise an excuse for new wheels. Also had Powerflex steering rack bushes fitted. Think the only bushes that are yet to be replaced are rear beam ones. Parts for the seats have all turned up...

I was looking at these on eBay and BMW used approved last night….this can only end well.

Infinity Exhaust down on junction 16 of M4, not sure if you would class that as local as you are a bit further north than me. I've had 4 made from them over the years for various cars and they have all been bang on - tell them what you want, how loud, what tips you want. Lifetime warranty. Made...

That is the orange?! My mistake. Certainly doesn't look it in that picture. And yes I would have the orange too if I were to have another. The grey was nice but it was a little bland after a while. I am in Gloucester, can post if needed.

Sort of wish I had the red one now when I had mine - there was one available but I bottled it, mainly as all the other cars at home were red (not by choice!). Easily the "best" car I have owned, but not my favourite one. However I would have another one. I do have a genuine boot liner that I...

@mgregson1980 I have one, doesn’t have the oil filler flap. Rather not post if you are close to Gloucester but sure I can arrange something.

Was at Caffeine and Machine earlier and loads of people were looking at a TVR engine, like what is special about a Rover V8?? Because a standard TVR isn't a handful to drive already

Replacement seats turned up. I fit in them a lot better!

Fair, happier for better quality

But that is coming from Germany and all in a lot more than the one I linked.

Need to get a N/S drive shaft for my Ph1 172. I m certain the part number is 8200027881. I want to get THIS one of eBay - I searched for the part number and thge description says it is the right one for a Ph1. Is it just the Cup's that are different so any non-cup 172/182 Ph1/2 will fit...

Seats have been returned, just waiting for them to be delivered so a replacement larger set can be sent out. Did a bit of investigating earlier as I thought i had a flat spot on one of the wheels or tyres. did always notice like a noise but it has got worse and you can hear and feel it now with...

Just need to make sure we all go to the same one
