General Discussion Area / What shall I do today?

« on: 08 March 2008, 13:21:37 »

I feel really naff today - thick head, tired, no energy.  Bit like having manflu but without the cold symptoms.

Its cold outside.

General Discussion Area / Car packed, ready to go

« on: 22 February 2008, 15:33:21 »

Managed to squeeze all the tools and a few extra bits I need in the boot.  Tunnie picked up some additional lighting to bring, seeing as he is coming up in his estate.

Don't think I've forgotten anything, just need to sort out cloths and overnight bag.

General Discussion Area / A day on the MV6

« on: 15 February 2008, 19:12:57 »

Well, a couple of hours anyway....

MV6 passed its MOT (at last!).

To celebrate, I changed the top coolant hose in an effort to reduce the coolant leak.  This resulted in the relay box lid getting damaged, and the only spare I had was pre mini facelift.  I've asked Tunnie if he finds one up the scrappy tomorrow......

So, in last couple of weeks, its had new front discs/pads/sensors, rear discs/pads/shoes, rear shocks, and a new top coolant hose. Oh, and a sidelight bulb.

Remaining job on MV6 is wheels.

General Discussion Area / MV6 likes the misty weather

« on: 14 February 2008, 12:46:10 »

Driving back from Nottingahm in very misty weather, the thing was flying.  It loved the cool, damp air so much, I gave up trying to stick to speed limits

General Discussion Area / How can such a little spring make my arm hurt so m

« on: 11 February 2008, 21:40:15 »

Stupid poxy handbrake springs.  I've pulled my arm somehow doing it. Now in a bit of agony, much to Mrs TheBoy's amusement - she keeps using my favourite saying "a bit of pain never hury anyone".

General Discussion Area / Wheels-InMotions new pricing structure

« on: 23 January 2008, 21:08:17 »

As you may know, Wheels-InMotion (WIM), a respected member here, is opening a new £1m centre in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.

Despite this huge investment in the new centre, WIM are REDUCING prices for our club Omegas

The new prices are as follows for member's Omegas are:

Initial Adjustment £85 inc VAT
Subsequent adjustments^* £30 + VAT

^*adjustments/finetunes/enhancements for the 12 months following initial adjustment.

Just to clarify, the old 2k free fine tune is no longer free.  It would appear the majority of people outside of track cars took up this facility anyway.

General Discussion Area / Thanks MDTM

« on: 09 February 2008, 21:46:55 »

For spending time cleaning up my handbrake so I can get it MOT'd.

A very pleasant day (until I arrived home to a PM box full of 'the oof server is bust'), and once again, I learnt lots

Once again, thanks


PS, was I supposed to let the rear pads bed in ?

General Discussion Area / Is forum working?

Seem to have problem, only affecting some users.

General Discussion Area / MV6 MOT

« on: 08 February 2008, 10:12:29 »

FAILED  

Buckled wheel (that would explain the handling).

Handbrake efficiency poor (and I adjusted it the other day). Comes up about 5 clicks, no more, but just not stopping his rollers.

General Discussion Area / Coolant - whats going on

« on: 07 February 2008, 19:46:04 »

You may recall I have coolant loss from the K series Rover, and a monumental coolant leak from the MV6.

Now, I have done nothing of consequence to fix these, other than try to investigate location/cause.

Both appear to have stopped leaking completely.
