Would love too but won't be able to.

Cost of living and all that, gotta be choosey about things 

Just renewed mine today with them too. (used them for a few years now).

Mine also went up.  Reason seems to be a mix of everything costing more and that one of the usual underwriters have pulled out of the market leaving only one real option.

They still the best price I could get, next best offer I had was over £1200!!!

Mine went up from £550 to £644 

But as you say, I've always found them excellent to deal with.

Hot oil is thinner so a drop in pressure it totally normal.

Those figures seem perfectly fine to me. 

Sorry again I couldn't make it, things came up. 

Looks like a good day, gutted I couldn't be there. 

Hi guys,

Really sorry but I've had some stuff come up.

I'm not going to be able to make it.

Have a great day!

Guys I need you to pm your email address for a club pass!
Over the past few years we have grouped up locally near Beaulieu at a pub.

The Royal Oak Beaulieu SO427YR

Arrive 8am, Convoy in before 8.30.

 

@Humpy

If everyone is meeting here then I'm happy to just meet up here too, rather then worry about elsewhere

pm'd you the other day.

nevermind, just saw your email.  It got lost in my inbox

pm'd you the other day.

Finally got the fuel port fitted.  After the O ring issue I had months ago, I never got back to it.

Funny thing is though, it's only reading 2 Bar at idle which seem quite low (seems it should be more like 3.0/3.5 Bar).  But the car drives fine so I thinking it's under reading.

I might not keep it anyway.  See what happens.

I'm also a bit concerned about the fuel hose rubbing on the brake booster hose.

I've picked up a ticket for this now.

What time should I aim to arrive / are you guys meeting up before hand?

Sorry another late addition.

I am going to get a ticket today for this if you can fit me in too?

Yeah if a few hundred spare I'd replace the lot.  This is the second that's failed on me, so it's just getting to that age.

But I don't so I'll just deal with them as and when.

Coil done.

Bit of a pain in the ass really.  It's not a hard job, I just wish my hands where about half the size they are 

Didn't take too long, just fighting with the harness a bit.

Good news is the bottom of the spark plug hole was dry, so no leaky rocker cover.

Finally have a fault code.

Job for the weekend sorted.

And for anyone wondering which is cylinder 3...

It was here, although quite a bit cheaper now: https://nisscan.com/product/nds-ii-windows-pc/?v=79cba1185463

 

The lead I use is a cheap VAGCOM lead, usually under £10: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185872583460?hash=item2b46de8b24:g:0MQAAOSwGlRkOSqb&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Gza6mA270dv3er0K1m0zMP7O%2BxdxNujl82ViELPaNlMNlBKc0enOyiugwqgQkCQaswTSE1kHiS2maGyaD0h53SHuoe67ZJVYTxwbBNmwYrVrFCIHUbxz6THGCvJt5U7j6DU%2F5dxlTi4FTajUTN4QQSpSyjqS6f%2F9gUvctMxIPT05nhOeLKFGBbAStf%2FfsqcP2XHXBcqqOnkTzs0g3n%2BebvD2iZ2AAGnIEh1HOdtHnNsla3LKAME0AvvwVIxAtj96rwR2tRxFuw7aND7%2FV0R59uR5Ylivnq0MAutxvjxE4Lm|tkp%3ABFBMrJ-lxaNi

Is this what you use now?

I might pick this up for myself if it's anygood?

I had considered that, but it's not happening for long enough at the moment.

Happened for about 30 sec twice now in places where I've not been able to pull over.  Then it clears itself up and doesn't leave a code and doesn't come back for days if at all.

Jobs for the rest of this summer...

• Find that damn dodgy coil
• New front drivers side wheel well liner (after it got ripped apart in a pothole)
• New rear brake pads
• New (used) AC Compressor
• MOT
• Find annoying metallic rattle

This concludes my TED talk.

Given I used to live in Abergavenny (and have family there) I'd normally be all over this.  However the car is in need of some TLC so I will need to miss this one.

In typical fashion it drove from Spa to Cardiff without missing a beat. 

At some point I'm sure this coil with die completely and then I'll have a code to go by.

Problem is, no code, no idea which coil it is. 

Hmm so this seems odd. 

Coil cut out again yesterday then came back. It cut out long enough to cause a check engine light. 

However, I've gone to read the codes and nothing is there. 

Is it possible that because the fault went away (the coil pack came back online) that its clearing the code? 

Cheers, 

They came with the car. 

I think they're Linea Corse LC18.
