Having owned a few other cars whilst I've had the Ro I have to say this forum is by far the best!! Ask a question and it gets answered sensibly most of the time. Do the same in a few other forums and they seem more interested it talking bks (IMHO obviously). Also the general knowledge held by most people here seems alot higher than other makes so we must all be more interested in our cars which shows from the level of questioning. Go to the BMW forum for example and some owner is asking when the cam belt needs to be replaced on the E39 M5... FFS man!! - even Mrs Clyde would know that one! wink

Definitely double - 2 heads you see so 2 cams!

Still can't find the bl**dy distributor though, and I assumed there would be 2 of them to spot aswell....

I'll give it a whirl. Let's wait for the FI guys to bottle out after 20 minutes and then take the rest of the afternoon over again.

TBH I'm quite concerned about your recent go faster stripes. Must come up with a cunning repost.

Sounds like a plan, but I think you misread me, I said "Go past her" stripes, they're just for Mel! hehe

that is when Col lets me have a go ragging their brand new '8 down the strip

Agree. This forum has been very good and very reliable compared to the amount of Monaros sold. The TVR forum was also incredible knowlegable and would always come up with an answer very quickly to help you out thumbup
