  2. A bit of a struggle to get to the meet after dismantling the car in the works yard to repair a faulty non return valve. This valve had been stuck open and letting boost recirc through the idle, so all the people who had been in my car after it had been mapped and thought t was fast, ITS FASTER BY A BIG WAY. Nice wee run out after the meet Had to get ahead to pull into a lay-by to alleviate the pressure on the bladder. Upon my haste to catch up the squadron of Scoobs the recirc hse for the dump valve decided that enough was enough and went awol from its mounting. I managed to free wheel the car, with it sounding like a boiled kettle, into the Esso station for a quick look see. With only limited tools, 2 plain screwdrivers, i managed to effect a temp repair to the offending hose. I regrouped with the squadron a bit further up the road but i was not convinced all was well. Left the RV point and immediatly knew it was gonna do it again so pulled off at the roundabout and let the group carry on its merry way. I did not have enough light or tools to make the repair permanent so i called Mr AA and his wonderful yellow truck. A breakdown wagon would be with me between now, 10.40pm, and 12.45am. . In the distance i hear the all too familar sound of the flat4 burble trundling towards. The loverly Blue wagon of Des pops into the lay-by and my heavy heart lifts. The man has a torch and this lets me get the hose back into place after some cursing and swearing. During my struggle to relocate the tightest god damn hose in the world, 1 by 1 the squadron rumbles into my wee lay-by and with a wee bit of vocal encouragemnet i relocate the hose back into place and the jobs a good un. I call back the AA and tell them to send the mechanic back to this bed. I select low boost on the AVC-R and trundle off home ward with the car sounding as it should and pulling quite crisply but not enough to push my luck. So cheers to everyone for stopping off to ensure the Squirrel was ok and Boo to the AA man for kipping when he should be working Grant

  12. Might have to withdraw as i have a slight turbo problem Can run it on low boost but that wont be much fun and high boost might throw a blade. I will investigate further and report back soon Grant
  13. Chris is on his way to the RV point I dont wanna risk major damage if the turbo throws a blade I am dissappointed to say the least as this was my driving weekend but i cannot risk a blade going AWOL Grant
  14. Got a small tech problem with the turbo on the car. Not a bad problem but not fixable at the moment Gumball is heading through but i will need to button this thing back together. Grant
  15. Tell him to go to Autobacs and knock seven bells out of the credit card If he is Tokyo, the STI shop would be a good place to Ram Raid. If he is in Osaka, the WRC shop would be a good place to start Armed Robbery Grant
