Oh ****e, I've just blown a gasket.

I'm not sure if its just a gasket or if it is the headers that have went but my car sounds like a tractor just now :o Its dark so I cant locate where she's blowing from just now but I'm going to check tomorrow morning, this is all I need ;)

Ok good news is that its not a gasket. Theres a hole in the headers for a sensor. I don't have a sensor in there so it was a plug. I've blown out my plug. Quick phone call to AWD and they are delivering one out to me, hopefully get that tomorrow and bobs yer uncle

Oh the drama ;)

Rich

PS ne offence to anyone who has tractors (you know who you are), but mine does sound like big massey just now

... I've blown out my plug. ....

is that even possible? ;)

hope you get it sorted in time Rich

fingers crossed the chaps with the last minute hiccups get things sorted

Aye thats what I thought, but with hugh temperature cycles it has been known for these to work they're way loose and blow out ;)

Cheers for the offer dave, I should have a plug tomorrow, lets hope it fits.

I have 2 bottles of octane booster which will do me 2 tanks, do you think that will be enough? is the last V-Power at fort william or inverness? (not sure what route were going from inverness)

First and Last V-power will be Inverness... :o But I'm sure Scooby-Girl or Scooby222 can confirm a SuperUnleaded station in Portree? (Take it they have plenty of stock!)

Just working out the miles just now.. Looks like about 310miles (ish) all together (+ getting home miles.) Will break off into seperate groups at the end in a central location (miles away from Inverness ;) ) and those from the north head home north and those from the south head south. That's the plan anyway..

Day 1 Approx 160 miles

Day 2 Approx 150 miles (+ getting home miles)

A tank per day then, 1st tank will be full of the V, 2 bottles should be enough then, cheers Al ;)
