Good news on the gearbox, shame you didnt get it sorted a bit quicker.......
You could try calling Javelin and see if they get a cancelation - you could be lucky.....
There is an option on the booking page to send an email to be put on the reserve list.....
Done. Fingers crossed.Quote:

Anyway got a new alternator from my local parts supplier - fitted it & lots of screeching from the belt:( alternator was locked solid:( took it off and it seems to turn free????
I have an old alternator with a welded up clutch pulley, so that one is now fitted and working ok ready for tomorrow will investigate the other one next week & most likely take it back....
Why does something always happen just before an event?? Sods Law prevails me thinks........
Hell Neil be careful what you hope for!!!!Quote:

Thanks Neil, I'm hoping to do this Tuesday evening @ Anglesey but I'm concerned by the 105db limit. What did you measure yours with? What kind of db killer did Rob use?Quote:
