  1. That's good news really - simple to fix and a known failure mode so nothing suspicious to be concerned about. Steve
  2. EN9 is a good higher grade and can be heat treated for added hardness once machined/formed etc. Steve
  3. TD5's are likely to be higher mileage at the cheap end , then there is the price of injector servicing, timing chain and the quality of even OEM stuff (AFM's for example) is variable to say the least. Have you stripped the 200 to fully assess for rebuild ? Steve
  4. Can you show us the mods to run links ? Steve
  5. My guess would be spiralling insurance costs for play day style events, it's the reason a couple of places here in the east have shut to "open" events. Private event hire still happens (usually by invitation to known clients) Steve
  6. That 3 degree's of advance makes all the difference, good to hear it's all good Steve
  7. I would say it's retarded by the sound of the running description ? Is the pump body central on the slots? One other thing to check is the engine stop lever, with no cable and/or return spring it can be partially shut off if not back against the stop. There is a plate on the side of the pump body (2 hex 5/16" head ) that has a pointer and a timing mark on the rotor too but my WSM does not show it Steve
  8. I saw his TR7 (on RRC running gear/chassis) race at Peters Pit AWDC years ago . I liked the Strange Rover too. Steve
  9. Too subtle then, never mind eh
  10. ...no point in putting new ones in , just rip the engine out and bin the exhaust. Drain the tank and refill with the correct fuel If the block is cracked it's usually along the section directly under the manifolds. Steve
  11. Agree entirely on the variable quality with replacement springs and dampers . Now you have mentioned the police spec I do remember you mentioning that before. Having built a few RRC's from the chassis up it is surprising just how much mass goes on at the final finish build stage . Steve
  12. They've been putting the time in , that has moved on a whole lot. Is it on the original springs? It looks quite high, although it is still in build so more to add yet. Do you have a first road trip in mind yet? Steve
