stolen from another scooby forum:



Just come across this offer - not every Shell garage is in the promotion, but if it helps anyone - have a look and see!

https://www.bespokeoffers.co.uk/cons...t-shell--d4096


Once you get the voucher - it's only valid till 31st May, but you can print off more than one, so could be a few pennies saved...

Exhaust manifold and turbo going on today, inlet manifold tmrw. Side skirts tmrw and remap Friday. Then it's down to little bits that aren't important. Phew.

Been a manic month.

Map is a great idea! I bought one when I was over there again in August and it was really useful. If I could only remember where I've put it.........

Ah! Thanks for the reminder! I must repair our paper map - we've got a BeNeLux/Germany map, but only ever use the same same three pages that cover Dunkirk>Auderath and they're looking a bit worse-for-wear!

I have a knocking/clonking rear Diff..
But its knocked and clonked for the last 20k miles so I'm pretty sure it will just carry on knocking and clocking with little ill effect.

Quick question for those that have stayed at this hotel before - is there somewhere to securely store wheels/ tyres?
Thanks!

Yes, sure we'll have a garage to use again. I'll be emptying out all the added extras when we get there (box of cleaning gear, spare tools etc) rather than dragging it round the ring

On the tool front, should we all be bringing them or is there some really nice person who normally brings them for those "oh *hit moments"?

i was going to bring a torque wrench, extension and 19mm socket, maybe charge up the impact wrench and bring that.

probably a small selection of spanners and screw drivers just in case.

Hopefully someone is taking a tyre pump as I have lost mine.

I will have a tyre compressor.

On that note !! it is a good idea to have a tyre pressure gauge.

I am obviously bring mine that can be used if I'm around at the time you need it.

It is a good idea to lower the tyre pressures slightly as on the ring you can gain several psi over a lap.

Dave and I will be taking a basic tool set. Hopefully no-one will need it. A car wash kit is a great idea - mine was in a right state after the drive down.
