Who stuck the dinner plate to the front wheel? On another note, if your gonna go for red, go look at BMW's Red, it may look like any other red from a distance, but up close it just has a little more punch to it. I've always said my next R would be one that I could spray that colour. I've got a...

And modest, haha. Thanks Gaz.

Actuator rod had decided to disconnect itself. All fixed now.

Got a new gearbox in the car. Engine out job. Now I have another problem, there is no boost. Finished on Wednesday night, ran it in a bit, gave it some throttle, went up to 0.8 bar (which it's set at, using a three port bleed valve)) but was really stuttering between 4-6k rpm. Got home, was...

Well I got it jumped again just there, disconnected the battery and it stopped. I read that this means the alternator is toast. Right or wrong?

Pretty sure it's the battery but just want to check. My old mans van runs and drives with a jump, but won't start on it's own. Is it the battery or alternator?

Finish it. I look at it like this, if your doing it yourself, you can do it just the way you like it, and get it just the way you want it, first time. If you buy one, it isn't going to be exactly the way you want, and it'll only be time before your changing something. Plus the...

You should be able to check the voltage coming into the switch and the voltage leaving. That would be your best bet.

30-40mm Springs Thanks.

A bit less special, how dare you say such a thing!!!! ;-) I agree though, half of the fun of owning and R is repairing it yourself.

I get you mate, but we just want the best for future owners. From reading all the replies. I'm taking that anyone who has been using it as a daily driver, has not been tracking it or taking it on the strip. The one member who has, has stated that he had problems because of it. You just have...

I had the same problem with mine, took it to an exhaust place and they replaced it, had the flexi in stock. Sure it was about 40 notes.

Have any of you guys above used yours as a track car though? That's where the issue is. If you want to drive it every day and track it.

I used mine as a daily driver for just over a year, then I parked it up to move back to America. It was needing a gear box, which it is actually getting repaired now. In my year of daily driver, I replaced the brake and clutch master cylinder, I had to replace a fuse for the starter and I had...

I learned this the hard way. I took an 8 hr round trip to look at a fully rebuilt Norris Designs effort about 8-9 years ago, it looked amazing from the pictures, but the pictures must have been taken the day the guy got it himself, when I got down there it was a piece of ..... and still to this...

I have seen this car on the ground and up on the lift. Believe the man, it is for sure not like many other R's you are likely to see. It is in amazing condition.

Who's the Lucky Devil?

Change of plan. Thanks for the info anyway. Bar steward insurance companies.

Was a fuse, sorted now. ;-)

I tried Aviva and a few other short terms places and they all said no, the cheapest I could get for one day insurance so far was about 68 quid. Hardly seems worthwhile for one day. Ah this is turning out to be a right pain in the farter.
