Thanks for the PMs, I should get the parts packaged up this weekend and in the post to both of you. Thanks again for the help

We were very kindly loaned a disributor cap and leads also a set of points an a condensor. I'd like to return these so if who ever it was could give me there address i'll pop them in the post. Cheers Stuart yellow sprint engined TR7

Ah well looks like I'll be missing it, have to wait until the next RBRR for a big road trip

Sounds similar to our problem.

Could be tempted, when exactly is it going to be? then just need to work out costs and see if the piggybank will be full enough

We're putting the missfire down to fuel contamination. Either dodgy fuel from Scotland or possible rust/residue in the tank

As Chris has said we did make it to the end. Thank you for all the help

Yes it was our first RBRR, even with the problems it was enjoyable and the support and help from others was fantastic. We will be back I'm sure

Think i'll change the suspension, change the fluids and give it a wash.

As first timers we found the route very good. No real problems with the controls, Edinburgh Airport could have done with some sort of signage to point you in the right direction.

Well after the problems we had we managed to get all the way round. It was certainly a good experience. Other than the missfire we had from the top end of Scotland to the Severn bridge we had a good run. We're putting it down to fuel. Must say a big thank you to all those who helped us out with advice, parts and encouragement to continue. If the people who lent us parts can message me their address so I can return the parts.

sorry to hijack the thread. What problems do people have with bleeding the clutch? I'm thinking of renewing the fluid in mine this weekend before I do the RBRR, any tips would be helpful.

fresh radio fitted last night also drinks holders. Even managed to fit the Britain outline sticker. Few bits to do over the weekend.

That has shocked me a little by the lack of people sending in spares list.

few miles in the TR yesterday, all seems to be working ok. Still need to wire up the extra power socket things and fit the spot lamps.

I live North of the wall thing the roman fella built but still in englandshire, which control do I go through??  :-/ ;D 8) 8)

it's the low flying haggis you have to watch out for, buggers to catch or shoot but more tasty than the normal.  ;D 8) There are great views from Carter Bar, but I'm guessing at midnight there will not be much to see.

is there any passes or anything to get in? or can we just walk in? cheers
