Charles (cashford) possible handbrake mod and inlet manifold change on his CDTi

Hi Rob.
I have answered Charles about the above on the OC, hopefully they can be looked at and changed

Rear bumper fixing broken and help with position ing of torpedoes

If I bring the ZTT and it's possible at the location, I'd appreciate a bit of help bleeding the clutch. Won't be there until late morning though.

Had some issues last weekend - post on the OC about it (https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=328361). So far she's behaving herself but I've only done a couple of short-ish trips.

If she plays up on Friday, I'll be in the ZT.

Hi all. Just a reminder, not all of us are members of 'the OC'. So if you just post links to there, some of us won't see it.

Hope to attend, I would like if possible any help with items I listed for the last one I could not get to.
Briefly, I really need someone to 'test drive' my 75 and hopefully establish what the annoying steering wobble/twitch is all about.
The rear sensors are intermittent or at least were, now the sound has changed to a different high pitch squeal?
If Steve could check the handbrake compensator please?
Is there an easy way to cure the ashtray that constantly sticks open, as the spring is so strong it won't stay in.

Looking forward to seeing the new venue!

Sorry Duncan, didn't think about that.
My OC post went into all the nasty detail, so to sum up... clutch fluid had turned all nasty and sludgy and became ineffective in operating the clutch even though I had decent pedal pressure. Drained some off the sludge off and topped up and everything seems OK now. Just need a hand getting the system bled.

Bear in mind, that sludge (I bet it was grey) is wear products from the master cylinder an probably the slave too. So it will be great if you get it going, but one or other may be on it's last legs.

AUTOGLYM RUBBER PLUS CLEANER

To help boost the Nano-Meet funds if you bring an empty jam jar I will fill it with the subject cleaner. Just donate a £1 and I will pass it on to Rob.

I should be hanging around the gazebo at Duncan's T4.

Cheers

Mike
