Re: Pride of Longbridge 2018 Rovertech stand and meet!
Kudos to all you guys for continuing with RT and keeping the fires burning :) it really is a testament to the community you have (even with reduced numbers)!

Re: Wanted Microcheck SRS harness adapter SMD4072/31
Hi Paul, I have no idea with the MEMS. All I can tell you it needs adapter leads and cards for different systems on the car, I dont have MEMs any more and my car being 1994 MY, Microcheck is ideal for everything else. You might need to find a Testbook, they have all the functions of the microcheck p...

Re: Whats is worth
Hi, if you decide to sell the parts individually, I am very interested in the exhaust manifold.
What ever you decide, best of luck, you have some great stuff there shame you are not going to use it.

If its a wheel bearing that loud, you can raise the car on a ramp and spin the rears wheels by hand and you will hear it, the fronts you can drive with it in the air and should be dead easy to find, if its tyres there will obviously be no noise on a ramp, that loud should be easy to diagnose.

Re: Race sports vs saloons castle Combe
Enjoyed that, great drive.
Your Coupe pulls so well out of those corners and bounces around like a go kart, like you say when passing the backmarkers gives a sense of how fast you are.
Congrats on the result.
(that wheel bearing noise would make me nervous, did you trace it yet?)
