what have I done
Had a great day at santapod, bit burnt but hay ho
driving back was hard work. didn't use any fuel , had my feet on the dash most of the way
apart from the half hour on the M1 hard shoulder then the following hour at a recovery place
<----- real tears
One of my followers decided to do one and well fell apart by the sounds of it. when I get my hand on it
And I have lost about 2Bar of my oil pressure. Where ??? Fook knows
no smoke or anything.
looks like my bank manager may be getting a phone call tomorrow

just finding my feet
well im actually glad that mine died and the AA patrol man knew his shit ( not the tow bloke though, he was a nobber of the highest kind )
tested and told me the alt aint doing enough charge and the batt is not the right batt and so its not gonna last whejn ua give it beans ( we detoured down the A507 on the way home )
but now i know where the missfire and the cars playig up is comming from
think that would also explain why i couldnt get over 125ish with a fiesta behind me flashing me out the way
but now i know ill be back
recond you will be fine too max, if not then ill pop round to help on the rebuild as iv bought a few rebuild toys for some reason

No!
I came flying down the M1 sliproad about five cars behind you, then floored it, and saw you pull over under the bridge.
I was gonna stop, but I wasn't sure about jamming the brakes on and cutting across three lanes in the wet
It's Keith, I'm telling you - he's jinxed!

Well new set of followers are on order. hopefully have them by tomorrow and get the bitch back on the road
Do you think it would be ok to drive the car with a fooked cam follower as long as I don't give it death??

just sounds like a cam follower has had enough. There is no smoke and no noises from the bottom end. just from the head. I probably could have drivin it home lastnight but didn't want to make it any worse
Oh and Cheers to keith for leaving me on my own at Guise Recovery
He phoned his misses to pick him up coz he couldn't be arsed to wait
