Deeman:

1. item 1 - Melted/snapped alternator cable ends (needed new spade connector - I didn't bring any!)
2. item 2 - Fuel Sender cable broke off (needed new spade connector)
3. item 3 - Bonnet catch popping up (regularly)
4. item 4 - Handbrake light - annoyingly permanently on
5. item 5 - Saggy back end - regularly grounding (new exhaust clamp)
6. item 6 - Worn Steering UJ - too much play to go racing with Max
7. item 7 - broke relationship trying to stay with max and the T350

mohitos:

1. item 1 - continue to hunt down the reason for occasional engine cut out / misfire
2. item 2 - slight blowing from manifold
3. item 3 - steering rack / UJ play creates small play in steering
4. item 4 - clutch fluid leak evident once home. Has created a high biting point on clutch. I hope that's the reason for crunching gears.

OldRed_V8S:

1. item 1 - Brand new ignition coil with 300 miles on it packed up. Old one refitted which ran in perfectly in temperatures up to 35° heat so I don't really consider that a breakdown. [/]man logic

Stew Mc

Engine sounded a tad tappety after a spirited drive down the Autobahn. Will know more in a couple of weeks when I get the car back lol.

v8s4me

1. item 1 - Mysterious cutting out issue - still a mystery. Not reoccurred since

Friday but will try Paul's paste if it does.

1. item 2 - Find out why bonnet/wing/door gap has increased & fix.
2. item 3 - Sewed button back on shorts.

themee

1. item 1 - Near side wheel sticking out by about an inch past wheel arch?

hvdweerden

1. item 1 - Bonnet difficult to close , needs adjusting
2. item 2 - Temp just upto red area, not overheating or geyser. Thinking of more efficient fan..
3. item 3 - 2-3 times small hesitation, felt like fuel starvation (dirtly filter ? / bad fuel ? )

In fact no real faults ;-)

TopGearTVR OR Juan Brake?

1. item 1 - Having spent all my money in the go department NO issues here
2. item 2 - Having spent no time at all on the brakes SOME issues here

mk1fan

1. - replace blowing exhaust manifold gasket.
2. - attach driveshafts to wheel hubs properly.
3. - sort out some half leather seats.
4. - replace the boot latch.
5. - one more map pocket on passenger side.
6. - bottle holder on both driver and passenger sides.
7. - replace gearbox mount.
8. - replace diff mounts.

Actually, this is starting to just be a list of jobs that need doing. I don't think there's enough space on the internet for a complete list.

Scoobimax

1. weld snapped zorst after heavy grounding out on Friday - ended up sounding like a tractor. Temporary fix got me home but blowing a bit more after shaving 30 minutes off a 3.5 hr sat nav prediction from Dover to Chesterfield
2. fit "flexi hoses" (donated by Nick the German engineer) between the end of the manifold to the hockey sticks so there's more play in the event of future bottoming out of the exhaust.
3. new brake pads needed for CLM

(Not JustAl)
Starter intermittent starting
Exhaust rattling after chasing Stew and Karen down the Autobhan.


tel595

1. Lost the complete car..! - It's going back to Mike.


glenrobbo

1. 1. Austin was stuttering under load during a long climb in 34 Celsius heat, but then so would anyone.

Fine after cooling down whilst a brief satnav discussion stop was held.

1. 2. Severe brake dust coating of recently refurbished front wheels

1. 3. Total absence of pression beer at the Troyes hotel stopover. Hot cans of Spitfire are not really a substitute.

1. 4. A bit of driveline shunt has developed today in the queue for Le Shuttle.

Driveshafts /propshaft ok, poss. worn diff.

1. 5. Total miles so far this trip: 1653

Fuel consumption so far at last fill ( for the nerdy ) : 30.08mpg.
Note to self .......Must try to get this down to about 17 mpg.
( Turbo Tony claims he was running at 50 mph: ........miles per hat

1. 6. Entire front of car plastered with more bugs than Watergate. Shirley something can be done?

1. 7. Several severe groundings have meant the sacrificial clamps need replacing again, the main box is getting pretty knackered.

Ruddy speedbumps!

1. 8. Interior light bulb blown ( ? Water ingress in rainstorm ? )

1. 9. Whole interior of the car is now a skip. With a capital Sk.

1. 10. Screenwash jets stopped working. ( ? Blocked jets or duff pump connections ? ) Unreliable or WHAT ???

To sum up, the car is in much better all-round condition than the driver.
Even though the driver is becoming all round.......

Longers

1. - Loose wire into coil meant grinding to a halt after 300yards on first morning
2. - Unable to start when hot - starter motor to be replaced
3. - Random deployment of air brake (i.e. boot lid popped up) while driving, then couldn't get it to open at the end of the day - new solenoid needed
4. - No aircon...!
5. - Engine lacked power in the Vosges Mtns when being chased by Liam, Mohitos and Simon - fit a V8

PompeyTim (added by Longers)

1. - Diff bolts
2. - Warning triangle broken after a local drove over it!

PotlessPaul (added by Longers)

1. - Coil
2. - Over heating on entrance to Rastatt Palace resulted in prize for best breakdown/arrival

Barclayboy (added by Longers)

1. - Bonnet pin fell out

Big Ian (added by Longers)

1. - Needs to buy his own car for 2015 Tour

SJS357

1. - Few drips of what seemed like brake fluid. Spotted At Rastatt on the cardboard. Little spongeie. But stiffened again after a bit. Must have been the excess heat. Checked connectors.
2. - Wire came of my added indicator buzzer (gutted) fixed at the Raddison
3. - Few internal water issues. Opening water bottle while razzing along lid shoots of like a rocket.

Must have ''no gas' next time. Very difficult keeping up holding an open bottle of water.
Had to let it go after a couple of miles, tipped it out, sorry to who was following.


AndrewS2MG Midget

1 - worn out NSF brake pad

2 - Speedo/odometer stopped working on motorway on way home

Turbo Tony

1. Rear wheel loose in Black Forest - tightened up. Big thanks to Glenrobbo to point out the obvious which I had missed!

2. Indicators and horn stopped working. Suspect column stalk. Big thanks to Alan 461 for checking fuses for me.
