 Fuel seems ok now with repositioning of pump - we'll see - and now started eliminating rattle in earnest. Heater pulled apart and re-packed with new foam/tape/rubber etc and dashboard on its way out to see what can be resolved. Speedo off to Mr Recalibrate for service and re-calibrating in near future. Then oil change check tappets etc then back to rolling road just for fun. I've put nearly 3000 miles on it since May so it should be nicely run in and am just interested to see what she's making.

Really impressive stuff and what seems like a hell of a work rate!
Cheers

Spooky - I spent a bit of time last night looking at routes/ferries - I'm 99% sure the heavy duty freight one still runs from Immingham to Brevick. They will take cars but you have to book a while in advance - other rallys have used this service. Would love to do this but would also be quite happy to drive the whole way.
Do I detect some sort of a plan here???
Cheers

Thanks T
Yes, was thinking the same thing (after I posted) as they do have one. Am going to a do on Sunday where there will be at least one 3 litre so I'll take my measuring stick!
Cheers
BTW when are we going to organise a "raid" to your neck of the woods?

Do any of the landcrabs have a speedo that incorporates a trip meter? Mine doesn't it just has total mileage and is not re-settable? I'll be doing a few events where I'll need an odometer and they don't like elctronic gadgetry (gps) and I'm not yet ready to splash the significant cash for a proper rally set up as it's all low key stuff and just for fun. Mine has fuel, temp and speed (120 mph!) at the moment.
Cheers

Yes you're right! At some point I'm going to change the tank as Ken Green has a 2200 tank (slightly bigger) that I can have - so might leave until then. Problem is, part of the deal is I've got to take it off his 1800 and put another tank back on for him...and he lives a long way away from me!

Thanks for the thanks as it were.
Interesting video - makes sense - esp the bit about volume. I had a word with the fuel pump people who suggested mounting it vertically as it may just be encouraging vaporisation the way it's mounted at the mo.- which I've done. It's only played up twice and those under extreme use - I've been unable to replicate on the road. Peter Burgess is a fan of the Facet pump and regulator set up I note. I can either play trial and error or plumb in a fuel pressure gauge to see what's happening...will let you know.
Cheers
Andrew

Got my joining instructions for the speed trials and have been given same handicap as a Lotus Cortina, Fiat Strada Arbath and an Audi TT! Not sure quite how they work these out.
