Hello all

Well I had an overheating issue with the 164, turned out to be a broken wire on the fan switch. £2.94 replacement from Amazon sorted the problem!

Morni'n all. :)

Put in a very late entry for the Dunsfold event yesterday in order to focus efforts back onto the GTV (deadlines produce miracles)
Changed the plugs the other day so it has lost that lovely misfire burble at tickover and the back of the engine now looks more respectable 'cos I did some housekeeping while the plenum was off & I guess the catcon is pleased not to be eating soot any more.

I also had an overheating problem a few times last week Mr Muppet on the M4 on the journey to Goodwood so had to open the windows and put the heater on full blast for a couple of miles to drop it back to 90 degrees and me up to medium rare.
I think I was sold a 2 litre rad a couple of years ago as the ad said 'fits' rather than 'suitable for' the 3 litre (rather like the aftermarket exhausts do). 'Nuff said!

Have a fun-packed day guys 'n dolls :) :)

Afternoon.

Well, I think I have got this F'ing Brera licked at last, only took 9 months of h3ll.

Off to the paint shop next week and then out the door...never again but at least its sorted and I should still make a grand (the hardest one I have ever earned)

Morning. Still a bit drizzly but getting better again.

Brera to paint on Wednesday then I think I must bet it insured and taxed and use the thing before I flog it.
