I have tried to identify the most common problems but there's a wide variety of one offs really and I dopn't knwo the reasons for 9 cases but here'#s the ebst I can do. Diff failure - 3 -  2 x GT6 and 1 Mk2 2000 saloon Clutch failure - 2 - Stag and Dolimite Sprint Gearbox failure/stuck in reverse - 2 - TR7 and 2.5PI Mk2 saloon Driveshaft/wjheel baering/UJ - 2 - Herald and Spitfire Headgasket - 2 Mk1 2000 and Domoite 1500HL I supoose it is possible to say the majority of that is transmission of one sort or another.

Thanks for all your help. I can't remember who supplied the kit as I bought it some time ago ahead of needing it. It will have been either Rimmers or Chris Witor tho

I have fitted an upgrade to my Mk2 2000 which isa braided clutch hose kit but I keep losing the fluid. It's not from the connection at the master cylinder and the second picture shows the pool of fluid on the car port floor from around the slave cylinder area. It's a new slave sylinder and I think the leak is from the connections but I can't tghten them any more than I have. See first picture for the connections which are between the oil filter and sump. Now, there were copper washers supplied but they seemed too big and I still had leaks then so I have removed them. Any ideas? Should I get new copper washers and exactly where should they go if I do?

The regs said 50 places maximum.  10% is  err  5?

Kerkrade and Aachen look very close on Google maps. We will be going over from Dover on a mid day or early afternoon ferry on the Wednesday.

As I'm a lazy git I'll be staying over the night before somewhere near/in Aaachen to make sure I make it :) Now I also realise that Kerkrade is very near there isn't it?

So how about starting a list on here before the official entries. I will start with Martin Randle/David Lidbury/Hank Hall   Mk2 2000

When I went to the link another choice was "ain't no pkeasing you"   ;D

I thought you would be the comedy act to follow Mike ;D

I thought you might be thw comedy act ti follow Mike ;D

If any entertainment is needed at any point I know a very good band. Good mates rates, see the Randle entry in the 2000 :)

Will my speedos be needed?   ;D

1 mk2 saloon

Thanks Andy, I got it wrong anyway and found one so job sorted

Anyone know what the bulb is in the clock on a 2000? It would be the same for a Dolly too I would imagine. It's a screw type but smaller than the other instrument bulbs :-/

Smaller meetings? If it's possible newbies should go to their local area meetings. At Pendle and Pennine we have given best advice to first timers and this year arranged delivery of spares.  Our newbies also knew where those of us marshalling would be so they knew where there would be friendly faces.
