NorthEast Lakes Run - JUNE 2006

[Paul F]

Its has been a wile I haven’t been to any meets for a bit either, looking forward to the RR day. I think I remember Graeme saying that you where on the list, he's away this week so can't ask him for you best off sending him an email.

[Gayle]

I emailed the lake district tourist board and we have a venue for the BBQ on the shores of lake Windermere. There is a barbecue pit at Millerground on the shores of Windermere (just off the A592 north of the Steamboat museum). So we just need to sort that out . They told me to call in for a map but I'll ask if they will send us one.

haha!, welcome back graeme. Gayles been trying to sort things out for us in your absence - top job gayle on the BBQ spot =D>

are you gona post owt on here bout the power runs??

if i havent got a new solenoid for the boost controller by then i may not be able to do it, the engine just keeps boosting till you come off the peadle!!!! will keep you posted, im ordering a new one monday first thing.

Matt

[gtech]

Basically I did'nt see the point on putting the power run on here as all the places went same day more or less. What I am gonna do is send everyone an email on Monday arranging times and running orders, might also post on here so that anyone who wants to ride up and observe can do so.

I have'nt had the chance to touch mine, but doing the run in a virgin state then add the Berkshire IC and do another and see what the difference is, want to start compiling some statistics for GTS Chris as the product build is superb.

ok, fair enough. cant wait for it. if the engine is still knackered, ill still come along for the ride, will keep you posted.
Matt

[gtech]

So is there any indication yet what is wrong with your heating????? did you manage to find the sensor on the rad to test the fans ???

[splintermcinnes]

well i think ive found the sensor, is it on the drivers side near the bottom? havent had a good look realy, changed the thermostat foe a TRD one the other day, now the temp guage hasnt come above a third on the guage. but it does sit quite far down on the guage, bout a quarter normaly?!

got the temperater probes for the ECU cold start injector(£65) and instrument guage (£33) on order from brid toyota, so will get them tuesday. hope for some good weather, and that the new solenoid arrives asap after monday, then i should have it sorted.

im thinking the cold start injector is continually running as there is way more popping and flames on overrun, and it stinks of fuel, and fuel economy has gone way down!!!!

with all that in i can set about getting a steady 18psi from the controller again.

Matt

[gtech]

Sounds good, pity you did'nt mention the ECU Sensor before, I think thats the GREEN one and Camskill do it for around £20.

Hind Sight is a wonderful thing....I know.

Have you tried bleeding the cooling system, they can be a right pig to do and if you had air locks then thats not going to help your situation.

Pity you was'nt nearer, we have some wonderful facilities over here thanks to Kevin (not saying too much on a public forum).

Thats great news on the BBQ Gayle. Eileen and I are available for either of the weekends. If Turbo_dude can make the 25th and Matt doesnt postpone his engagement date for a week then the 25th looks favourite.

got the boost controller solenoid waiting at the post office collection point!! the people who work there must be well lazy! its only open till 12, 30!! i missed the post this morning coz was out getting MOT - passed! - and fixing the car in the halfrauds car park!!!

sooo, it will be back to normal by tomorrow...... hopefully!! FINALY!

Matt

[Gayle]

Well, sorry Matt but due to lack of replies we think it best to leave the date as the 18th June as originally planned. There will be plenty more to come on and hopefully Graeme will be organising a Sunday lunch meet soon.

[splintermcinnes]

ok, fair dos, got the car sorted by the way!

see you tomorrow morning, bright and early!!
