Farmers Fayre/Caffeine & Machine Meet 2!

[MrBlonde]

B4455 looks an ok route to use,its only a short drive to C&M from Farmers Fayre.

 

[bowen86]

Is anyone being an absolute legend and bringing CLIP with them? I need the airbag light turned off. Can pay in tea and coffee.

 

[frayz]

Very good chance i wont make this now.
My gearbox or diff has a bearing that doesn't want to play any more. Try as i may, i don't think i can get a new one built in time. Apologies as i was looking forward to catching up with a few folk.

I can, but what with the impending bill of the gearbox build blah blah, and having to use the Cayman daily for at least the next month. (i do 300 miles a week)
Another 320 mile round trip isnt exactly appealing.

Maybe mate, im sulking at the mo. Ha

 

[RustyMojo]

Understandable, but you got a couple of weeks and I’m sure @NorthloopCup would sort it out in record time…. Reminds me I need to book my MOt in!!

If you get the box out I can have a look at it mate 👍🏻

 

[frayz]

I’ve already spoke to Alex and he is going to remove/build it for me.
Makes sense as he’s local and I trust him completely. I know you’d do a pukka job Mark but saves me shipping it to and from you.

 

[aaronlopes7]

Slightly off topic guys but is anyone interested in a false floor for the rear of the 182/172? It’s completely brand new, OEM carpet style. I could bring it to the meet if anyone was interested, save on postage. Let me know and we can sort something out 🙂

Yes mate - I’m near Reading!

[RustyMojo]

There are other people who have said they are coming via social media but haven’t added themselves to the list. So I expect few more

Anyone fancy meeting Jct 9 of M5 or jct 6 happy to arrange a convoy over again like last time

 

[Jekyll]

[DomP182]

As long as it gets to Tewkesbury mate…😂

 

[DomP182]

I could set a gearbox drip feed😄 in reality it's been dripping for a year (1000 miles or so) so if I topped it up I ought to be OK.

I think they leak from factory!

Mine leaked for about the last 2 - 3 years and I just topped up 3 litres every now and again!
