Re: Idea's for a photo shot

I think it maybe a tall order to get the 'Sally B' to land there...

It's a good site to look around though if your into WWII airfields.. Relics of old buildings, residential huts etc still evident..

A nice long runway to 'floor' your motor on !!

Insurance ?? What are we paying....

Just thought this might be a good idea to see which insurance companies have the best deals?

I'm 43 no points.. Insurance is £155 per year on my Sri 1998 cc redtop 5000 miles £250 excess

That's through Adrian Flux on a classic policy (20 years plus)

Re: Eastern Region meet Sunday 25th August - Your Pics Here!

Just looking through these pics again and what Paul (Colorado) says rings true - there is such a brilliantly diverse collection of Cavaliers in this club, each different to the next, and Sunday's outing seemed to prove that without a shadow of a doubt - from Marcus' heavily modified Turbo through N...

It will be unfortunately. Since they've changed the parameters.

Wiring gone nuts?

Ok, recently took off my 'water expansion tank' sensor cap, The top had come loose and water was oozing out when hot... Swapped it for an ordinary yellow screw cap and joined the two wires together.... All good? Yes BUT now my ABS light comes on? Surely not related to this, but it is... I undid the ...

Yes, that's happening to mine now... Not alot, but seeping out when hot.

Yes, when I pull the middle bit up, the contacts are visible... Shall I just pull them out altogether?

I'm guessing I will have a warning light come on.

Re: Sensor on water expansion tank

Never seen one on that shape of expansion tank before... When you say come loose, do you mean it's detached from the actual cap itself? Could take it off, remembering which plug goes where, and pour water through it to see if it leaks. As for a new cap, I don't know how available they are, as I've ...
