    You know I do.

    But that's a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

    Suppose I could do a part exchange !!!

    Re: Won't start

    I also had a problem with Nellie on the Saturday drive back from Silverstone !!... she conked out !!!......... got as far as the A46 top side of Leicester and she just slowed... little or no throttle response, Oil and water temps slightly high max 10 deg, oil pressure good..... then stopped..............

    Coming up the M1 it was roasting hot so I suspect a fuel/temperature related issue.......... left her for 10 mins and she fired up first time and got me home at a steady 50........... came to work in her this morning and gave her a darn good trashing... she's fine !

    Now unless Dr Mel can think of anything else ?
    ANY other opinions are greatfully recieved

    Phil
    Any other opinions would be welcome

    Try this one Phil !
    Depending on how much fuel was in the tanks (less than 1/3 ?) and the way your plumbed in. Is it possible you used all the fuel out of one tank resulting in low pressure & cutting out. While waiting enough fuel from the other tank filtered across to allow you to get home. Next morning both tanks now equalized, so a good thrashing would not repeat the fault.

    I've been having some trouble with my ride height. Is it true that it'll all ride down with wear, and that my concern over the recent apelation "safari car" is undue?

    Glad to see you are still about, I had thoughts you may have had something to do with that fire down your way, considering your mental state when you left Silverstone.

    As per your "safari car" I am unable to comment as I believe you had a consultation with Dr Excuse, and his diagnosis was that it was your fault !.

    And as a professional I am afraid I have "No Comment"
