Ah, I tell you what, I can bring a 2.0 one down and I'll do you a swap if it works? In fact, if you pull the comp out and let me know the p/n printed on the sticker/on the side I can tell you if it's a v6 one or not, or even a straight six one.Martay wrote:I was going to ask this, but felt too cheeky!!humbucker wrote:Would there be any interest in me bringing my Tech 1 kit down to this event, and giving any car that is in need a good shake down/fault code readout/clear etc?

My fuel computer is showing 'F' i think because its a V6 one in my 8v?
Thanks!!
Sounds good, theres a couple of numbers on it, (GM 90 462 653), (5WK7 433), (8888-1697) Im thinking its a V6 one, its not greatly accurate on my 2.0, but it all works.humbucker wrote: Ah, I tell you what, I can bring a 2.0 one down and I'll do you a swap if it works?

humbucker wrote:Place is Baldock services on the A1, time tbc. What sorta time do people wanna meet up, I was reluctant to dictate that because I didn't know the sorta distances people are travelling and what that equates to in terms of reasonable start times, but open to suggestion. Late morning suit? 11? You tell me. The museum opens at 10 and they know to expect us that day. It'll take me the best part of two hours so I can make 11 no problem, not too early, not too late etc?
Meeting point:
Baldock Services
Motorway: A1(M)
Where: at J10 and from A507
County: Hertfordshire
Postcode: SG7 5TR
Services include multiple eating places, coffee shops, toilets, petrol etc (KFC, Le Petit Four, McDonalds, Starbucks, M&S Simply Food, WH Smith (with Costa Express) etc.) so ideal for anyone wanting a quick pitstop before we head off for the museum.
Following our trip around the museum I was going to suggest we head to a wonderful old pub a few miles down the road, The Black Horse in Ireland is open til 6pm and serve food and drinks, so a nice post-museum stop off point:

Apparently it's gonna be a scorcher tomorrow. We've had the most intense thunderstorm all night long, subsided now but still light rain. I'm gonna go wash the car anyway I think, before it kicks in again later this afternoon.James McGrath wrote:The day before the meet and surprise surprise, it's raining.
That makes 3 out of 4 times this has happened this year.
Considering what a good summer we've had it seems a tad unfair.
Just to clarify, meeting point is Baldock Services, J10 of the A1, postcode SG7 5TR at 11am: I think its headgasket has gone Have fun guys!
