Midlands Nano Meets

Record here any feedback from the meet, maybe a comment on the venue, thanks to someone who helped you, or if you had work done on your car how did it go, or anything else you wish to mention

Well plenty of cars there and great to meet new people and regulars. Not many T4s done, but actually that's good because I also got to chat to so many about so much. Can't post any photos yet as I haven't finished the film. Just hope I got the right settings on the camera, so much choice.

One of the bestturn outs in a while and weather stayed good too

Great to see the gang again.
Thanks again especially to Scott and Duncan!

Well that was a fabulous meet with a really great bunch of people, a lot busier than usual with more jobs getting done including T4 sessions, starter motor replacement, change of injector, electrical work on towbar electrics, a bumper off , handbrake compensators and more, also nice to see friends who no longer have a 75 or a ZT making the effort to still come to the meet , as ever thanks to Duncan for bringing the T4 and his vast knowledge of these cars , Mike for bringing the gazebo for the T4 , Steve works all the time going from job to job, Scott, Les and anyone else who got stuck in plus thanks to all for turning up we had 20 cars in all and the weather was good so here is to the next one at end of August

Hi all I can only reiterate the above, really good meet, nice to see a few new faces, ad the stallwarts whom always come rain or shine, which today we had the weather on our side once again, big thank you to Scott, les, Steve (Martins) son for getting stuck in on the jobs starter motor, tow bar electrics investigations, Duncan as always T4 and his knowledge on tap when it's needed, can't believe i still did a couple of handbrake compensators, (John & Royston) again help from Steve on both of those, i may make up a couple more yet to decide for the next meet, thank you to Dave for under tray which i passed onto Richard in the end after i realised my project would not have worked.

Hope to see you at the next one in August Arctic.

Glad it's going to be put to good use.

Many thanks to the team for sorting out my starter motor. Yet another good day and turn out. As Steve drove away from the meet we noticed engine management light was on, stopped at Steve's house in Middletown and turbo boost sensor was not plugged in, tried it twice but light did not go out. I drove back to Newtown thinking about what else the problem could be. This morning I disconnected the battery and left it for about 3 hours, light now gone out. See you all at next meet.

Hi Martin.
Yes that would put the light on, it would most likely have righted itself after a few miles, but you did the right thing, disconnect the battery solves a lot of the hiccups on the 75 a reminder to us all double check after any work as been carried out on all or any connections that have been unplugged

Injector changed on my bumblebee Rover 75 tourer, supplied by Arctic and with him doing brunt of work. Thank you Steve. Engine sounds better and a few more mpg according to computer. Thank you Duncan tor the T4 retest which showed number 1 injector had stabilized but inj 4 now flagging up. Will do leak off test, maybe at the start of next meet (I actually had the kit with me). Might consider replacing the other three injectors as I think they are original and have done 140,000 miles. Hoping you, Steve, will be armed with some refurbished injectors at the next meet.

Thanks again.
