Anyone from SW passing Exeter?

Got some swivel seat bases and locker doors for peninsulakid and a gearbox to come back this way.

More than happy to sling you some money/beer

Me too!
Should make a convoy. Especially because I've no idea where I'm going!

Looks like we won't make it, the tired starter has failed and the chances of locating and fitting one in time are slim (petrol)

Could be worse, it could have failed up a Welsh mountain !!!!

Booked and paid.....

I might have one in the shed. If so, I'll bring it with me for you on Saturday. I've not swapped one myself, but heard they are a pain on petrol vans.

got one here mate

These Starters are like buses . . . .

Ok, so I booked a while back - what now? Am I expecting something in the post? Do I (or should I) have to pay in advance ?
Just wondering. New to all this.

Thanks Pete and Aidan, I guess my best bet is if Patrick has one I've got time to fit it for the weekend.

Yes all payments should be in advance thanks. Next week I will email all the details to you about the event.

Patrick dropped a starter off today So if it checks out ok, after fitting it and a new bush I may make after all

Is it worth coming with no diff locks working, Can I get lpg somewhere near? The beast isnt running well on petrol and is a bit lumpy on lpg as well, but it would be good to meet all the newer Syncronaughts, I only know a handful and not sure if they will be there?

Yes.. even without difflocks its possible to get about.. Got reasonable tyres on???
And some Syncro instruction is on hand...

LPG is at four crosses.. OR.. at Shrewsbury... hang a left for Ford (last roundabout around the A5 ring) and about a mile down there the garage used to do LPG...

We can take a look at the install and see if we cant make it run a bit better too....

Just booked, I am looking forward to the weekend. Will have M/T tyres on but none working diff locks, see how it goes. Thanks for info Si on Lpg garages. Paid.

Who would of thought . . . two broken windscreens in one meet

We have a big Downhill race on at Llangollen that weekend but will try to to drop by at some stage if that's ok.

Happens every year;I'm one of the closest to the event too!!

Have a good one
