Hi Tim II've forwarded you Ellis's email Regards Bruce

Why? Is the engine a particularly noisy one? Regards Bruce

Yep, now happily residing here in Cheshire😎

Sounds painful 😆

What a fantastic idea, well executed

Thw V8 takes about 4.5 litres. Fill it to the marks on the dipstick.

Good decision 👏

Oh the problems of running a popular event 👏😆

Hi. 20:50 oil is required in a Stag V8. The 15:40 you initially added is simply too thin. I suggest you drop the whole lot out, replace the filter and refill only with 20:50. The pressure will improve with the thicker oil. Pressure at cold should be around 40 to 50psi and that will drop to 25 to 30psi when the engine is properly hot and the oil is nice and warm. With regards to the company you bought it from, they sound unprofessional. If it was me I would be thinking what else did they miss on the service! But that's probably just me. Enjoy your new acquisition Regards Bruce (Stag owner for 18 years)

There are at least four, single person crews entered this year that I know of. Bruce

Why not do the route in the reverse direction and we can wave at you midway

I recognise that blue bonnet😎

Not a good idea posting all that information together in one place on a public forum!

Hi Wendy Seems a bit drastic to sell the car when you have a replacement engine available. "Better the devil you know" Regards Bruce

HI https://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/automatic-transmission-fluid-1-litregul355

Oh bugger, what a shame Wendy😞 Do you have a spare usable engine you could fit?

Excellent. Was about to post this on behalf of a mate I think poking something in the hole to release the knob is the way to go 👍🏻 Perhaps you need to press harder if the ratchet has seized 🤔 or apply a very small amount of light oil?

Doh!

Hi All If another CT member kindly handed you a spare part to allow you to fix your car whilst on a CT event, would you:- A) send them a replacement part (or it's value in cash) afterwards? B) Just take it as being a gift? For clarity I am not talking about small items costing less than a tenner. Thoughts? Regards Bruce

I was doing snow doughnuts in the local B&Q store carpark with our GT6 a good few winters ago until the store manager came out and glared at me😆 I wouldn't have minded but I had been into the store to purchase something 😉

Handbrake doughnut conditions 😆

Looking forward to the BR2024. Can we see the entry list yet? Regards Bruce

Hi All Can any of you advise of the source of new looking washers/clips for the ends of the flap operating shafts in the heater? Or an alternative type? Thanks in anticipation Bruce

Here is mine from 2021.

That group does not currently have a coordinator. I was simply trying to be helpful by posting the FB screenshot. I can easily stop being helpful. I do know that one of the members has emailed Dale yesterday with a request to update the meeting place details in the CT mag. Bruce
