Re: 4-wheel alignment/tracking for TF

NIce to see so many people recommend Micheldever...I use them all the time on my family car, but I was a bit wary with the TF as my reports always have 'ranges' for the settings, with the actual value being between an upper and lower limit, whereas all the settings for the TF I have seen on line are...

Re: Basingstoke Festival of Transport - 9th May 2010

In previous years, I've gotten there between 9 and 9:30. Its obvious when you are in the right place as you join a long queue of vintage vehicles...and they have people directing traffic.

Re: Basingstoke Festival of Transport - Sun 10th May

Slight worry last night when I discovered that the filter on my fueld pump was leaking petrol (was wondering what the smell was....), hopefully tightening the nut at the top fixed it...if a car bursts into flames at the show tomorrow you know it didn't.... About to start the long day of cleaning, bi...

Brakes going 'bang...'

I had new EBC pads and disks fitted to the front wheels just before Christmas...and for the last three weeks I've had terrible problems with the front brakes sticking/rusting overnight, and coming free with an almighty bang in the mornings. I think it might have been after an enthusiastic clean of t...
