Thats a bugger! A frequently used stretch of mine.

Went out in the car before Christmas (a rareity for me these days) pulled up at PC World, parked and went shopping. Came back to the car twenty minutes later to find the damn thing would not start. Guessing I'd run out of petrol (it has been so long since I last put some in) I went over to Tescos, bought a can and put a fivers worth in. The fuel pumps are running and the engine does fire, but needs constant right foot pumping to keep the car spluttering before dying its death. Called the AA guy out, who after two more petrol cans (because he guessed she might be a thirsty one!!) and still no joy of keeping her running, was taken home on the back of a low loader with the advice that she might need more fuel, or the carb/injectors are blocked with crap. Tried turning her over for the first time since today and now have a flat battery. Whilst the car is on charge I was wondering if you guys had some simple advice to try before getting ridiculously ripped off by a local (dont know anything about cars unless its a metro) garage. A neighbour has suggested redex in the petrol to try and clear the injectors, but fear this may be far too simple and uneffective. It may of course be a non-fuel related problem, but the syptoms to me sound like petrol, turning over, starting, then spluttering like it doesnt have enough fuel getting in. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I've been given the family task of buying my dads xmass present this year. He has always been interested in astronomical goings on and since having recently moved house to a more rural location has decided that there is so little light pollution that he now wants a telescope. Having no ideas at all about them, I'm hoping someone on here can point me in the right direction???

Hi xell I'm in Dawlish - will have to meet up some time. Did you go to the cruise at moto last saturday? I was there, saw a couple of supe's but no owners..... Sorry I wont be making this one, havent been for a while and was hoping to but . . . . Maybe next month, or as fifty once suggested a xmas meet up? Jo

Sorry you cant make it Rich, but a mini meet sounds good Take care my friend and see you soon xx

Psy/Fifty - suggest a meeting place and time on the A38? Anything around half 1ish and I should be able to make it. Would make an impact four supras driving in together Moist - cant you be sick around 1ish?

Morning all We are going to try and make this one. Daston, any time around 2ish or if you're fifty, about half one! Psymon,. depending on my plans was thinking of meeting you a little way up the A38, we can drive in together? Maybe Rich too and Daston if the n/a can keep up

Whits Supra, Covent Garden on Saturday night.

I'll be the one waving me big red pants!!!!!

He was supposed to be at Wembley originally, so booked hotel in London!!! Catching the 6.41 am train to waterloo, going to hotel then catching the 2.20 to MK arriving at 3.20. What time are you aiming to get there for?

See you there

Going to see Robbie Williams tomorrow at Milton Keynes. Anyone seen him on this tour yet?

I still have it. It came off the car earlier this year having been the original on the car which had done 82K km. Cant guarantee the mileage, but have documented history of the car which suggests its right. All was ok with it before it came off, I just exchanged because I had an opportunity to go for a 3800.

Ok, sorry. Backing out of the thread . . . .

Col, I'm sorry. I thought your sale was done and dusted.

Make me an offer?

I've got just a TC if anyone wants it?

Thought you said that you'd got a company car and was selling as you need the space?

Thanks for the offer Smarty. Its a new unit bought from Lucifer so should get one sent from him. Just need one to borrow to get it set up before the car is put back together.

Two is supposed to be better than one!!!

Calm down - my cars in bits and the poor guy from race logic is stuck in limbo what to do just because someone forgot to put a cable in a box!!!!! MEN!!!!! Daston, thanks for the offer but unfortunately there is nothing a n/a owner can do for me

Hi Rich, I'm still here. Although really angry at the moment. Dont worry about the cable, just about ready to throw the bloody thing up the wall!!! Take care my friend and will see you soon - will have to organise a mini-meet for us all. x

Anyone in these areas with RLTC who can urgently 'lend' me a diagnostic cable for a few hours??

Thanks for the tip off Steve - I have Axis Milanos on. I have 235-35-19's (8.5's) on the front and 275-30-19's (9.5's) on the rears. Seem to be ok.
