    Post-Christmas Garage Day (6th January 2018)

    Hi all,
    @foxdie is coming to mine in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Saturday 6th January to do some work on his car.

    If anyone else wants to pop in for the day for a chat, to help, or to do something on your own car, you're more than welcome!

    No doubt I'll do a proper full weekend too later in the year, but a quick post-Christmas, as I know this is fairly short notice!

    Shame i can't make it. I am down at my mum and dad's on the south coast to do Christmas number 3.

    I feel a calorie induced coma coming on.

    Sorry to hear you're busy this time round @Erni902 and @Davezj, hopefully next time (when I give you a bit more notice!)

    Best spend the next few days clearing out the garage so we can get in there in the dry and warm!

    I said to the missus yesterday evening that next time a day like this is arranged I'll make a point of heading over. Typically I didn't notice this post until it was too late, but then I still managed to wield a spanner on my Legnum anyway.

    (I mainly want to pick brains on LPG conversions and health checking the car before that)

    We had a fun day Not too much work done, but lots of chatting!

    For @foxdie we did two engine oil flushes, and refilled with fresh oil, as well as an auto gearbox flush.

    And on my Anglia, we sorted out my wiring mistakes for the wideband O2 sensors into the ECU.

    Then went out for a bit of a drive around to do some further tuning. Got the idle when warm sorted (but still need to get it right when not up to temperature), and fuelling under partial throttle a bit better. However, my clutch is on its way out, so couldn't do high gear low RPM tuning, as it was just slipping


    I'll definitely try to arrange another later in the year, and give a little bit more notice!
