Thanks guys-mine came too.

We have a windbreak etc Mal, but no BBQ. We do of course have cooking facilities in the motorhome however.

We will of course have the trailer tent (with kitchen).

Plan is to fold it up Sunday morning, but use Our gazeebo on the stand so that the Mrs's and nippers have some shade.
We can "unhook" the cooker unit once on the stand for brews, and we will also have too "Griddlero's" for doing burgers etc.

But they are too small to cater for everyone.

We shall have to see what others register there BBQ's etc nearer the time.

Mal.

I'm embarrassed to say that I've only just become aware of this. I have a 1998 Vitesse which I must admit has been a little neglected and could do with some attention. I live in Peterborough and hope to come along and meet you all. Maybe I could get some advice on how best to tart mine up.

Welcome aboard!

Most things you'll find are electrical problems and as for the rest, the usual TLC applies. Might be a good idea to have a good look through the forum at all the various different posts and subjects - you'll quickly work out the weak points of your model and general 800 weak points such as the lower balljoints on the front suspension!

Hopefully see you at the show!

John
I chased up the guy who runs the historic fleet to ask if the 827 would be available but unfortunatly it is being used in London on that day. Its a police benelovant fund day and the heavy fleet (which inc the 827) is being used to ferry round relatives of injured/desceased officers.

Sorry. I tried. So it will just have to be my boring old Sterling.

Fair enough Kate, and a far more deserving use than a rally!
Your "Boring old Sterling" is fine by me, but are you not tempted to give the 820e an outing....?

That's a pity Kate, i was looking forward to seeing the Police 827 "in the flesh" but as John says, it's being used for something more deserving and purposeful than simply displaying it.

Meanwhile i'm off to find something interesting to do in my Sterling

Bad news Im afraid.

Current events with the house restoration and other things to boot, mean I will not be able to attend BL Day.

If things improve nearer the end of the month I will try to attend "on the day" but it's not looking good at this time.

Mal.

Awww, no!! That is really bad news!

My attendance is now looking dodgy too as it would appear i have a battery problem and won't be able to afford a new one before the event! Just got the battery off, along with the air cleaner and earth lead - found a few "sillies", not enough on their own but maybe together they're enough to cause me a problem including the battery being a little low on water.

Fingers crossed for both of us eh?

Dave,

Nip down to your local scrappy.

They usually sell good used battery's from a tenner upwards.

(At least all the scrappy's I've ever been to do)

scoobyh123 · Post by **scoobyh123** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 9:39 pm

Funny you should say that Mal but this battery came from my local scrappy for Â£15 which is why i'm kind of reluctant to get another.
Also there's the problem of re-starting if they haven't got one if i can't breathe a bit of life back into this battery. Sadly they're about 12 miles away and only open "office hours" so can't get a mate to give me a lift over.

I'll have a word in my friendly local garage (that i've never used except to shelter from the rain lol) to see if they have a spare battery.

Isn't it weird how things like this always happen when you're most skint!
