Re: THE SYNCRO JOURNEY!

Yes but I need them to check the if it's the VC as well.
If it just a prop place and my prop is fine then I have to pay out more for another look.

Drop the prop. Bring it to a prop specialist and get them to check it. If its OK then start to look at the VC. Very few places even know what a VC is never mind tell you if its shot!
My money is on the prop being out of balance

It was supposed to be "orange" but I spelt it wrong but didn't change it and it seems to confuse people.
Yes well I'm going to take it to the prop place in Luton and see what they say.

Re: THE SYNCRO JOURNEY!
Ah i see...so how many times? No prop or other place can test the VC. You can by driving it and deciding if it's ok, stiff but usable, fricked, or stuck open...prop repairs ar cheap so not to lose there really and a balance up won't hurt.

From what we have heard Recoprop being close to London are very expensive.
You live very close to us, why not bring your Syncro to Berkhamsted so we can test it for you. We also have a diesel AAZ.

Sorry, but that has to be the most random, and bizarre question I have every heard

You can I suppose, the windscreen and the seat squab wouldn't be advised, nor I'd say, would the seat belts or to be honest, any plasics or textiles, mainly because it'd be messy as well as rather pointless... it's intended as a primer for rusty metal, as pre-prep for say a final colour paint finish I think
Ralph (CovKid) and others who've used it will advise further, I haven't (used it)
