Today we drove from Santa Margherita on the Italian Riviera to Lake Como........and VUX has had to put up with some extremely hot weather at 32C! Cheers, Andrew

Thanks Marco, useful info. Cheers, Andrew

Hi Marco, Here's the outline route (minus local drive-outs and diversions) for you and other non-members: Portsmouth to Santander and return via Calais - Dover Santander, Spain - Lenno, Italy: Lenno, lake Como - Lake Lucern (via the Furka Pass) - Calais Cheers, Andrew

Hi Marco, Have a look at this thread: Regards, Andrew

Thanks Neil, we sure have mate! Cheers, Andrew

Correct Neil.

Good observation - only one is wrong (not fitted by me I hasten to add) - now sorted as per the BB. Cheers, Andrew

Preparing for our 3 week Euro trip this coming Friday - replaced the near side halfshaft as there was too much play in the splines (so just in case) and started packing the spares in the boot and around the car: Cheers, Andrew

Thanks for the feedback folks, very useful. Steve - thanks for the offer, although I'll wait until you've tried them and see what you think. Cheers, Andrew

Thanks Alan, a useful observation. Cheers, Andrew

I understand the generally preferred plug for TR5/6s is the NGK BP6ES, but note the BP5ES is specifically for use in lead free head - VUX's head is gas-flowed and unleaded. Anyone using the BP5ES and notice any benefits over the BP6ES? Cheers, Andrew

If you say so, but pretty sure people can find it for themself if genuinely interested.

Yes Bob, Alan took over the reins from Pete Cox and Pete Buckles to support TR and MG Servicing when Moss came onto the scene. It's about knowledge and service delivery, but don't you think we should be supporting our specialist network rather than making cheap wisecracks.

Potholes and shite roads Neil, it must have worked loose.

Stopped for my usual 'blowout' breakfast at my favourite cafe (Tolworth, Surrey) before visiting Cox & Buckes in Kingston for a natter and to sort out VUX's leaking exhaust in preparation for our 3 week touring holiday in Europe in a few weeks. Cheers, Andrew
