Good find! I thought it was coming from the front.

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Lots of gremlins today. Initially no start then a rather sticky throttle and seems to have excessive creep in neutral.
A 70 mile trip with a stall in Burford high street and no start for 5 long minutes. A least nothing over took me (they couldn't get past really) .
Engine started then died when engaged drive. a few flicks down the manual gears and I got going - just, and then did same in next 2 miles.

I hope Harry wasn't filming you. It could ruin our reputation if that got out!

Thought I'd post a shot of the magic of Pete and his inlet manfold lifting adapter.

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
I hate the idea of lifting the engine & gearbox on the manifold - plus it's harder to use the load leveller .

That lifter should've been available as OE!
And will the crane driver do/pay for the damage rectification??
