Vic called in yesterday, lost the washer bottle top on his Chim.
Tried to nick mine.
Hmmm....
My wife gave him a Sainsbury's milk bottle top, I know that "Tesco" ones are always recomended, is there any difference?
Also I felt a bit guilty as his Chim like mine is blue, and the top we gave him was red.
The thing is, his pistons only have 4 litres to move about in, wheas mine have 4.5, will fitting a red top slow him down more???!!!

Not as much as not having a Griff slows you both down

I find having a Griff in tow always slows the Chims down. Why is that I wonder?

Possibly not, but take care not to invalidate any warranty you may have by using non TVR-spec parts...

I'd stick with Tesco to be safe.
