Cambridge Meet, Saturday May 5th

HI again, Rachel…

Just saw your message yesterday with the Q's…

I've got an L-reg Rivage Cab, It's blue/Quartet colour.  i've started parking at the office at Signet Court as I was paranoid about it getting dinged - I live at the traffic light end of Stanley rd (round the corner from the munchbox!) so lots of trucks etc turning in…

If you wanted to have a nose one lunchtime feel free…


Cheers

 im a little worried as my engine started up with a (loudish) tappet sound yesterday after being left for a few days, its only done 60,000 miles and stopped all most straight away, so im not sure whether it's just a lazy oil pump or something more serious. Nonetheless I have heard stories about failing oil pumps and subsequent engine seizure so would be grateful for any experts advice out there. cheers  

All that probably is, in the couple of days that it was standing all the oil has drained from the head leaving it pretty much dry.  The fact that it stopped almost instantly would show that your oil pump got oil to the head v quickly.  If it were to do it whilst the engine has been running for a bit then would be the time to worry.  But if you're in any doubt, do get it checked over.

There's a chap who posts on here, username mvdevelopments, has a company by the same name over in Shepreth, not used him personally, but heard good things from those who have.

Your astra probably thinks it's a golf by now, the amount of time it spends with them  

We're really looking forward to seeing everyone too.

My car's even clean - outside and inside!!!

Went to help at a friends show in Stroud on Sunday, and some guy was trying to convince me to sell him my Golf!!!! 8O

Thought I'd be impressed with the offer of a swap with a merc - Wrong!! :dontknow:
