I watched the Transit go through,have to say it was restored beautifully but that's a lot of brass.

« on: 17 October 2022, 09:22:14 »Changed Mrs VXL's car - sold the Astra and bought a Volvo V70 D4 SE Lux
D4... Is that a 2ltr Andy?
Yep 2L 5 cylinder
I've been thinking about getting a P3 XC70 and as my V70 is the 2.4ltr D5, I've dismissed the D3's and D4's as comparatively gutless.
I wonder though...There are of course tax and MPG advantages.
I have the 2.0 four pot 6 speed manual Derv V70, I believe its been remapped as goes very well indeed and shakes 50mpg on a run

Its outrageous that they get away with this kind of thing. No doubt the other teams will complain, but it will be a mild slap on the wrist "for the sake of the " sport".
I would love to be proved wrong, but.......
So up to 7.5 million overspend, thats a shit load of upgrades

« on: 10 October 2022, 16:44:27 »Could be no 1st world championship IF RedBull did overspend last year. Imagine if the penalty is points from last year, this year and next year were removed. Meanwhile back on earth….
Well they did and I wonder what the punishment will be

« on: 22 September 2022, 13:50:18 »Tried in vain to find the source of the knock from under the o/s/f of the Omega.
Sounds like a balljoint or similar, but apart from the fact they are newish, inspection suggests they are ok. Same with droplinks and T.R.E,s.
The knocking going over any kind of bumps is driving me nuts.
Finally found a bit of motivation to fit a new cam oil seal to Piere last week. Fired it up and its still sparying oil all over the place.
Should I buy a new cam ? Not sure. I fitted an SKF Speedisleeve over the end a while back which cured things for a while.
Tempted to buy a new cam, another new seal and try again. But if that doesnt cure it wtf will ?
Top mount or duff shock
