I was intending to take the SC to Fairmile tonight, but will have to take the daily.

I can't get my CIS tester gauge to seal - both the adapter to the fuel distributor and the gauge bleed valve. The net result is 5.2 bar system pressure initially, but can't get over 3 bar most of the time since. Unless I can get repeatable system pressure readings, then there's no point in going any further. I did start the car and boy oh boy, is it running rich, so I expect to make some adjustments to the WUR. Once system pressure is addressed (not suspecting the fuel distributor, as it was fine before, but I do have a set of washers to adjust it if needed), I think warm control pressure, then cold control pressure (after it has cooled overnight).

I've ordered a few copper sealing washers to address the leaking adapter issue, and contemplating buying another gauge set for the leaky bleed valve. Is anyone going to Fairmile that can lend me a set of gauges please ?

Be good to get some early cars down to this. I spoke to GavP and he and I have put 18th May in the diary.

What chance of getting some of the band back together? Andy, Mike, Paul, Nick, Neil, JB, Peter, Jonathan, Clive, Viv (!) + plenty I've missed. It would be great to see you 8)

Now that's something to aim for......

The Grand Originals will remember it grew out of a Volksworld show gathering in 2006 8)

Good call by Will to get some of the OG crew together:

I always remember my first DDK / Chris T Fairmile meets, those were summer 2005 so I’m feeling dead old now as I try to find the pics.

Sadly can’t make tomorrow’s meet though: get your cameras out guys!
