Don’t you use more fuel with the lights on continuously ?

Well done with the video and of course finishing 

Who do you order the tankards from 

It would be nice to find out what percentage of cars arrived back at Knebworth by model ie if 4 tr7 started out and only 3 finished that would equate to 75 percent or is this being a bit nit picking 

Totally agree with cook1e when some of my sponsors see this “ tip” they don’t bother with the donation or they have given me cash to put in on there behalf. I did bring this up a few months ago 

2 litre tr7 home to home 2281 miles 63.27gals which in my reckoning is 36.05 mpg and really had to boot the old girl to make up a little bit of lost time

I fitted l e d headlight bulbs just before the RBRR then had them checked at the mot station they said they were ok but notice a few cars coming in the opposite direction flashed me 

Just had the car up on ramps and refixed the back two sections of the exhaust checked front wheel bearing and replaced near side one also sounds like a tappet wants adjusting they were all spot on when I left home on Friday morning also got to check why the temperature gauge stopped working on Sunday 

Thanks for that just ordered a pack of eight being as we missed out thanks again 

No 120 we was really looking forward to the pies at this control point but unfortunately due to previous problems we had to miss this stop wonder if they do a postal delivery service would love to try one 

No 120 I  am hoping Tim B reads this he kindly lent me his scissor jack winding handle how do I get it back to you I am local to Newark it has been suggested I could take it over to the Nottingham meet and give it to Dave Langridge or send me your address and I will post it Many thanks 

No 120 hope the farmer doesn’t mind we had to use some of his fence wire to secure the exhaust apologies to the farmer

No 120 we managed to finish despite having two tyre blowouts in the middle of nowhere used the spare but had to call out tyre service for second one nearest open tyre service Inverness 1 hour 45 minutes away two budget tyres plus fitting £480 lost a lot of time called into Gulf garage at skin falls for fuel then fetched the exhaust off exiting station refitted it but it was then a problem throughout the rest of the game refitting it four or five times missed three controllers but arrived at Knebworth on time first time we have entered this event but it was brilliant congratulations to everyone who finished and well done to the organisers 

Just fitted the led headlight bulbs to my tr7 I had to file out the internal corners on the locating tabs on the bulb after that fitted ok  am I Wright in saying you cannot fit the rubber shroud when the led bulbs are fitted I left mine off 

Please ignore the above post realised you can’t do it 

Hi is it possible to use cam tower shims on a tr7 engine ie to lift the cam say 10 thou the pallet shims are getting very thin 

This has probably been covered before but I can’t find it . Is it possible to put led bulbs in the standard tr7 headlights if so which ones . Thanks 

Sorted

My friend has just put £25 into my giving page Phoenix Knights via pay pal it has not shown up yet on my page is pay pal not the way to go 

Hoping to complete the RBRR in my tr7 along with my stepson Scott who will be driving it for his first time hope the picture is ok computers not my strongest point 

Just got my 7 out after a two month hibernation started ok but could not get the tick over below 1200 rpm other than that drove really well just had a quick look at the route I did the nc500 2years ago clock wise from Inverness the first 120 miles a lot of them on single track roads all be it with many passing places took me five hours must try and improve on that 

Once the weather warms up I intend to remove brake master cylinder and all wiring etc and repaint the area that has slightly rusted due to brake fluid spillage btw i am referring to my tr7 another project when I get hold of an early corsa steering column is to convert to power steering any tips photos on this subject would be gratefully received

Thanks for your comments it was in fact done by a very competent body work company who have had articles in sports car magazines . The owner is a hands on guy and is going to have a look at it in the spring I have every confidence he will sorte it 

After owing the car for over 18 years and bringing it up to a high standard touring in many countries in Europe I thought it was time for some else to enjoy it . I now have a tr7 which I have over the last twelve months improved and used ie nc500 I find this car to be much more comfortable for myself and my wife's old bones and were able to take more creature comforts with us when touring , I commend the 7 for anyone who wants a little more comfort and still have a most enjoyable drive 

Had my 7 resprayed earlier this year and noticed a couple of weeks ago that the paint has cracked in the joint between wing and rear deck and is now showing signs of rust , what's the best cure for this ? Before the respray the small amount of rust in this area was treated to a localised blasting with a portable blasting gun and then primed . What's the solution if any
