    Might be worth a post in 'off topic' or general Debs. Some people rarely go into events so it may bring it to their attention ?

    Hmm...coolant flush/thermostat housing replacement any good??

    Not the most involving job, but an hour's work for some to get their teeth into...

    Sounds good I hope this goes ahead, the response hasn't been great which is a shame. We need one car for working on and one for showing off.

    Anyone want to bring their car ?

    Unfortunatly Chris' mk1 wont be finished in time otherwise we'd bring her, Oukie, Richard, Danthrax do you have owt ? Dont worry if they're not pristine, I'll bring polishing gear and we'll clean it up.

    Well...if you wanted something more...the heater pipes have just gone!!

    Got to try locate some in time, however if I can tee them off(and link them) at engine end, I can still run her...

    Edit: she could do with a clean too, come to think of it!!

    Crap. Just been informed that the organisers of the show dont much like work being done that involves fluids exiting the cars. Another problem i didn't think of is the need to run the car to bleed it's coolant system. D'oh.

    This isn't going so well is it ? . Anything else wrong with anyones car ?

    We can still give your car a good pampering No3157

    I was gonna go in my mk1 anyway so don't mind it going on the stand, just thought it was another members turn

    That and it was my car that was on the stand last year getting a gearbox replaced

    But I love the show and If could actually see some of it this year, would be great.

    So if no body else objects, my car could be the shiny (ish) one.

    Chris, by all means put your mk1 on the stand. We need to find out for deffo whether or not we can do a coolant system overhaul as it's looking like our only option at the mo'.

    Obviously though the car WILL need to go outside for at least the last bit of system bleeding (engine running). So here's hoping we're ok to move the car about. Debs any info on where abouts the stand will be in relation to doors ?

    Plus we can detail both the cars while they're there Oukie, they will both be purdy by the end of the day.

    Does anyone have the phone number for the organiser ? I can ring them to find out more info and rules etc...
