I've heard of this before especially with the Rover 'early' units. My
engine builder
talked of it being typical British engineering! (He's also a sarcastic
bloke
sometimes)! Expect you are glad you found out now though rather than
at first start-up.

Great!
> Can anyone tell me if it is possible to mail pictures to this list?
Believe that the server won't handle anything other than MIME text
format which is
fair enough. In the past I've made a call & asked if anyone wanted
pictures etc set up
a 'group' & bulk emailed the 30 or so repliers.
>Again only for those who are interested.
Very interested in what you've been doing with the engine.
