Unfortunately not available anymore on the saturday as I have to move a server for one of our clients out in Netherly 
It wasn't doable anyway as there was no way I could be there for 11 am.
Moving on... I'm ok for most evenings next week except Wednesday and at present the following weekend is fairly clear too

Back to the shed tmorrow to see if yellow will fire first time. Unlikely but we shall see. There from lunchtime if anyone is able to help just give me or harper a shout
Just a heads up that we're going to be using the rear gates to access the shed as campus is now covered with skips and stuff and it's just easier to do so. It also means we can come and go without bothering security more than is necessary

whats the latest on this? are you requirimg any parts? im scrapping my mpi sei soon if its any help.
Hola.
Not sure on the parts situ yet - but today we changed the battery over and that got yellow to fire first time. Cheers to Ransoman for that and turning up with a spare shifter later in the afternoon. Also cheers to marti155 and Harper for their help.
Brakes/handbrake freed up but still very slightly hunting. Coolant temp sensor was swapped, but then swapped back as the replacement seemed to make things worse. A good thrash around the bottom car park at the start of the day and it was definately running a little better than I remember, so here's hoping..
So....yellow cleaned and ready to move. The suspicion is there's a bit of oil burning but we'll investigate that further. Tuesday night she'll be out in Alford. Hopefully

A wee bit more fettling, the state of Yellow before getting a bath plus an old favourite playing in the background

And finally an example of the completely random things you can find on my works campus
Sometimes it's just better not to ask...

that has the loudest ticking engine i think ive ever herd in a cento.... has it got oil in it haha?
Clock34 said:
Nah mine was louder (before it was done) because all the shims were miles out, this one only sounds like one or 2
Was one of the "to do" jobs when Daz had it, think i've still got a pile of shims of various sizes lying about that might work.
Fwiw, i think if a blank gets drawn, i'd be tempted to swap the head over from Fiasco's old engine (cam and all) if things don't improve and see how it runs like that.
Actually, there's a point, cam HAS already been swapped, and shims... one by one to ensure the correct order..... i now remember that was the last thing i did on it when i was last up there.
hmm.... requires investigation, check for oil indeed.

Yep - martin checked oil earlier today.
Why you scrapping your sei?
Martin did comment that he thought the oil was a bit thin though...
The oil was changed last October and I doubt any of us can remember what was put in at the time. we did have a quick scout round the shed for empty bottles but suspect it was chucked in the clear out
