Running without a silencer at all will be no fun at all after about 5 minutes. Your neighbours will all complain and you are likely to get a tug from the old bill..... There are noisy-enough silencers out there, indeed somebody on here will probably have one for sale 'cos it was just too loud!

To be clear, is the OP describing a REAR muffler delete or as I suspect, just the small side one? BIG difference in volume!!

No idea if 'Pegasus' membership is worth it but I looked at tickets for the next scramble.... Over 30 quid including a £5.99 booking fee!!!!! FFS if they want people to show up, kick tyres, buy beer, burgers, coffee etc then be reasonable.... I'm aware I am known around here for my opinions of 'monetising' our hobby and I reiterate how much I enjoyed my (very) local Cookham car show as well as other near by events, all of which were FOC. A few years ago I went to nearly every Scramble, I recall it was a tenner on the door or something similar. I won't see you there. Chris.

I agree, modern car's lights can be dazzling at night. Perhaps your LED bulbs need adjusting, that's an MOT station job, OR shine them at a wall from 20m away and see what the pattern looks like. Remove the trim ring to adjust. Another potential fault is do you have LHD headlight glasses? The correct ones direct the low beam towards the correct kerbside. Just a thought.....

Bedside reading - what are you leafing through?

Here too! -
Not a 2.7 owner but; Pictures? What evidence do you have of those 'big' jobs? If the price is right then none of that matters much anyway. Rust is No.1 consideration.

As Ian says, a variable list of suggestions; Mine would be to pull all the injectors and take them to an old skool Bosch place that still has the pressure pump to fully exercise the valve/spring and pump cleaning fluid through. You can instantly see the spray pattern and also measure volume dispensed in minutes. Replace the O ring when re-installing, easier with a smear of Vaseline or similar. If no different then before adjusting the metering head, I would send it off to KMI for a check, better to find and fix the fault than adjust to get around it, especially in a stunning car like yours. Chris.

Yes, I have seen that, indeed I went this year. My tip would be take a ferry to Caen or similar, it's a LONG drive to Calais, especially is the downpour we had this year.....

Rich, I didn't see you 'cos I wasn't there! Lack of buddies to join me, a cache of home jobs and a showery forecast all contributed to my no-show. Hope you had a great day, maybe I will try again to enter next year.

'73 I also hope to be there, although my car has been rejected year on year to the point where I have given up..... I'll say hi if I see your car. Chris

I've been following this with keen interest. Q; why do you suspect spindle wear? As I understand it the bearing rotates and the inner race is static on the spindle. If the inner race is revolving (ie. the bearing has seized) then you would see lots of heat, a hot wheel and maybe some burning grease. The bearings are tapered race, so as you tighten the end nut the tolerance/movement reduces. If this isn't the case then maybe the roller bearings are no longer parallel sided. Bearings are cheap, have you tried a new set? I would also suspect a worn shock/inset as has been said, is it different L-R compared to top-bottom? Of course the steering rack may have some looseness, but does it feel different? I'd try some new bearings first.... I'm sure you will sort it. Chris.

Darn it! I’ll be sailing…. More notice if they do this again next year and I’ll be there. -
Try Jim at Northern car hoods, near Manchester but he does a collection service.

Ask Jevvy to come along and look? He's not far away.
