Yes we'll be there but be warned I'm Mr Grumpy at the moment. Siatica and a tooth implant, which I fear has gone wrong have not put me in a good place. Oh and the weather is going to be crap! Oh and Boris is PM, oh and ......
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Well, the usual culprits turned up despite the lousy weather and stupid roadworks near Farnham.
We discussed the SS&S and have decided to have it on Saturday 31st August.
We will have BBQs at Bolderwood in the New Forest, starting at 11 ish or whenever.
Hoping for good weather...

As of Thursday, weather forecast for Saturday is OK-ish. Chance of showers in the afternoon?
I'll send PM reminders to the usual suspects.

runs better but misfire is worse when hot - now I have backfires and multi misfires under load - I am suspecting it is the leads but they were brand new four years ago?????

Texas, have you replaced your spark plugs recently?
I had a similar misfire under load last year on new plugs. Put the old ones back in and hey presto - no misfire!
