    After much deliberation I’ve decided to give Mabel one more stay of execution, I’ve decided to get her engine rebuilt over the spring/summer, 

    she’d better behave after this biggie 

    Good decision 👏

    Stag Oil pressure problems

    in Engine

    Posted · Edited by Rubce

    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

    Oooh might come and see the finishers! Flamborough Head is only 6.9 miles from here! 

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

    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?

     

    Replacing spares borrowed on a CT event

    in Triumph Chat

    Posted · Edited by Rubce

    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, you hooligan!

    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 😉

    But thats the trouble....the people, area organisers, using FB are the ones responsible for updating the CT site  

    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.

    Why is n`t the Forum used , as requested, to circulate important  area news? The CT site is giving contradictory information and once again FB being used for the select few . So the CT sie needs updating?. 

    My understanding is that the NYSD area doesn't currently have a coordinator.
