It's annoying. Got a bit of whiplash as well. Hope it doesn't effect my dancing at the weekend :D

Cheers for the pointer Sammy, but I need to use an insurance approved place. Took it there yesterday and he was writing down a new bumper, new ligh panel etc. Methinks he's thinking £££..

Like me last time :rolleyes: got there abt 8 and the car park was full of jap motors but hardly a 200 to be seen. Apparently they had all just left to get Mcd`s/Pizza.
Cant believe how many neons etc are springing up on otherwise beautiful cars at this meet too, some people eh :rolleyes:

Chris B

having a good day so far just popped home for lunch.

Looking forward to tonite and meeting you all although we (me and the missus) are a bit shy so please dont think we are being arrogant or obnoxious, we liven up when we get to know people.

If someone could keep an eye open for a white Peugeot 206 van on a 53 reg pulling in and come and introduce yourself and introduce us to others I would be very gratefull.

What happened to Mavericks car?

siliconslave
15-06-2004, 21:00
not intirely sure - when i turned up someone had spied him broken down round by the shell garage so we hoofed it over there to check it out and give him a hand.

he'd just filled up, driven about 100yards down the road and stop in some traffic - engine cut and wouldn't restart, well it turned over, caught and then died. Mucked about with it for a bit and then pushed it back to the shell garage and called the breakdown ppl - after that i dunno

lil ben

Sibbers
15-06-2004, 23:08
Was fun.. didn't speak to many people - too many silly old S14's that had been loved and cared for... I took my bodge-mobile along though and stuck the bonnet up (heh heh) - might clean it next time :D

Enjoyed leaving the car park and giving a couple of scoobies some stick - shame I had to wait for my mate's MR2 though cuz I didn't know my way home lol

Hi Guys

Just to let you all know that I got home safely, albeit on the back of a recovery truck. :( I think the fuel pump has died and am going to go and have a look now. I will keep you all updated.

Big thanks to everyone that helped especially, Si, Sam, Michael, Justin and the two Marks. :thumbs:

Right, where's that multimeter? :rolleyes:

Cheers

Nice to see everybody again. Sorry about your car Maverik, hope you get it sorted.
Shame I couldn't join y'all at the pub afterward, had to go pick up my little'un.

Hehe, on the way home, getting back onto the M4, a Mitsu GT3000 thought he'd show me how fast his car was by going for the undertake on the slip road. I think I showed him instead. :D

si's got a fuel pump in the workshop..... pm him and ask about it if you need one



was a good night and nice to see a few more people....

remember guys, we need more of you to come along on the 4th July for the pre JAE BBQ and Footy!! :thumbs:

maverick
16-06-2004, 11:00
Well it is all a bit strange. :confused:

Tested the plug and there was a momentary 12V each time the key was turned to the second position. But this still wouldn't fir up the pump. So I took the pump out and checked all the connections and they were fine. But the sock had fallen off!!! So I looked up the hole that the sock normally connects to and it looked fine inside; no black crap to indicate that it had burnt out. So took it inside and found the biggest battery I could and connected it to he fuel pump, and got petrol all over the hallway!! :rolleyes:

So the bloody thing still works!!!!!

So, just to make sure, I stripped it down and reconnected everything back up. I stripped the cables back, resoldered and shrink wrapped, zip tied it all secure and bunged the whole lot back into the car. After scratching my arms raw on the zip ties when trying to put the pump back onto its bracket in a full petrol tank, I got it back on and guess what...



...IT'S ALIVE!!!! :) :nod:

Not sure what happened there. Maybe the sock falling off meant that some crap was sucked in and jammed the cogs inside? :confused: Well it works now, and the car started first time, makes a merry humming noise and has idled happily for the last twenty minutes. Shame that there is now a spare sock floating around in my fuel tank. I spent a long time fishing around for it and all that resulted in was about a gallon of petrol running into the drain.

Again thanks for everyone's help and support. :notworthy :notworthy
I just hope this doesn't happen again, and to mnake sure of it, the sock is extremely well zip tied onto the pump, which is very securely zip tied to the bracket. :)

Parker
16-06-2004, 11:21

Stidi

Glad you got it sorted Hingy, I'm a bit dubious about those Walbro fuel pumps now :(
But if it was missing a sock i don't think that the standard / bosch one would have lasted any better really :) plus i guess most people running >300BHP on here are using the Walbro jobbie, and this is the first i've heard about one failing (and it was easily fixed, if a little inconvenient)

Forgot to mention, glad the car's fixed !!!


anyways, now for the most important update re: last night...
6 bites on my left leg.... 14!!!on my right and 1 on my chin :wack:

maverick
16-06-2004, 14:23
Thanks mate. I hope the car now just works and I never find out what was wrong. There was a combination of things, though. As well as the missing sock, there was a little leak on the top of the fuel tank, which I fixed with the help of Justin and Mark (AKA Jolly F and Pops :thumbs: ) I'll just try never to run the tank that low again (yep, ran out of fuel last week!!!!)

Matty2Fatty
16-06-2004, 15:02
Glad to read your problem was only minor.

:annoyed: :annoyed: Typical I got home yesterday to find my new bits had landed & they delivered them to my next door neighbour, wa-hoo I thought I could bring them with me to show people, I go knock on the door, they havn't got them :( so to my other neighbour & she's not in, only time in history shes not in :annoyed: :annoyed:

I go out today & she comes out & goes oh I have a parcel for you, here it is

Cracking evening lads,

Thoroughly enjoyed it (so did the other half)

Nice to see ya'll again (and nice to meet some new poeple - Mav, Matty2Fatty and Stidi amongst others :wave: )

I think I got off lightly in the Mosquito stakes (only two bites so far :mad:one on my foot WTF?!? )

Hingy,

Glad you got her sorted mate, I'd have stayed to help longer but I'd left Sara with Jolly, JC and Tom which is worrying at the best of times. Didn't want to arrive back and find out I'd been replaced by a better model :D

Looking forward to the next one (and more drinking in the Pub this time - much more fun than Pizza Hut!!!)

*** :nod: (And yes I do realise that I'll probably have to let Sara drive the 200, a very worrying prospect!)

Missy
16-06-2004, 20:39
