I can thoroughly recommend a VX220 for cheer driving engagement im on my 2nd, like the 4200/GS great value for money. Just totally different experience, id miss the V8 if i let mine go though. Itl be worth it when its sorted and you can drive it properly again, windows down and enjoying the...

Sounds like best to take it back to the garage and let them sort it out

have you tried an Italian Tune up? I found if i dont move my 4200 Gransport for a while the first few clutch engagements are a little sticky, but after a good thrashing its fine. Have you tried turning the isolator off and leaving it (on trickle charge) and then trying again?

Not been present for a while so apologies, but i will put this in the diary to attend, as its a great drive for me to get there. (Live in Towcester) Not sure what Zep is up to, but he may also be able to attend.

I got a set of FD Carbon paddles 2nd hand, and reckon they are probably the best mod iv done. The length of them is so-much better than standard, and the weave matches the GS carbon perfectly. If there is a cheaper option out there, id say its well worth investing the time.

Shouldnt be that long, where did you try? I have the big brake conversion and can confirm it is worth it, and that is with DS2500 pads. Great stopping power on the road, havnt tried them on track, as i dont see it a track car, but Spa is appealing, as its a fast track, so may suit the GS abit...

Im on holiday so cant make this, which is a shame. Not sure what @Zep is up to.

But i dont have the tool either, hence the cable ties. (Please forgive me)

Just as an update on the steering gaiters, the ones i suggested were an Ok fit, but were plastic not rubber. Still got me through an MOT which is the most important thing. I did some more research, and ended up with the below. Fitted both this evening and the fit is great, and being rubber...

Hi all. So MOT day, and its failed on inner edge if front tyre being down to canvas, and a totally split boot for the steering rack. Had a look after some measurements, and it appears that if you can suffer an extra 20mm of length, (who wouldnt mind that), the boots for a Zafira B will fit...

Looks like a great day, and even the weather is decent. Hope everyone is having a great time, hopefully be there next year

Im in Towcester, but occasionally go to C+M in Ettington/Stratford. Also go for drives out when I can, have been known to to head to Worcester way

Did you lacquer over the top to protect the icons at all? If you are UK based, id love to see your carbon seat backs

There is a Damper place in Wales that have said they would be willing to work with me to develop some springs and dampers that would exceed what KW currently offer, so i need to get on the case with that. They are currently refurbing 2 sets of Nitron dampers for me for a different project

Never seen a Strad in Blue, looks awesome, especially with the spacers. Sounds like you had a great trip
