Morning lads..Went out there to check and re-calibrate my electric fan and i kept getting a whiff of petrol..Checked and re-tightened fittings on the metering head..Checked the fuel filter..Low and behold its dripping..Just waiting for a mate to turn up as i dont have a 22mm open ended spanner..That was on my list of things to get..Typical..I forgot that one..Cheers..Ziga

Mark,if you need any tools, give me a shout and i'll get them very reasonable for you or anyone else.

Well, for those of us who got up at a respectable hour it was morning, but at 13:01 I think you'll find lunch has come and gone Mark wink

I went searching for petrol (east then south) then went North up the Fosse towards the M40. I did notice an old git in a Rover or Merc flicked a V at me (after I overtook a pair of cars approaching a camera doing 50mph and pulled back in) maybe it was V for Victory?? Can't remember much else apart from caning past a few Audi's...
