Re: Oh dear - misfire

Change of plan, I am going to tackle it myself. Local garage said this was a known problem and quite often they need to drill out the injector and then reem the hole.

Oh dear - misfire

So after 8 miles of completely normal driving, I slowed and stopped at a roundabout to find a petrol smell and rough tick over.

Re: Castle Combe JEC Track day 4th October

Update
Had a great day and the weather was really good. I took some ARDS tuition, 15 minutes free and it was amazing, completely changed my driving style and improved some lines. Still not fast but fast enough for me to enjoy myself and still bring it home in one piece.

Re: 'Michelin Pilot Sport 5' tyres fitted last week

They do look good. I learnt something new about tyres on my Mallory Park track day, a friend with much more track experience than me said we can check the side walls for correct pressure. Curious I said how, he explained that manufacturers put markings on the side wall to denote the correct scrub li...
