  1. Down in the north east midweek club pay a yearly fee to the NEHU to affiliate and run under its umbrella giveing a governing body in case any problems. A limit to amount being sent down here means we can basket very quickly (six bird limit) so i can dash down on wed morning get birds on and straight to work---if you carnt make it there is only six birds for someone to drop off with clock and get done quickly so you can get the birds ready early and leave for the wife to drop down so you dont miss a race and not a fortune to send so pooling or nom birds are affordable. Also depending on number of members --not too many baskets making transport by van not a wagon possible. As they race home no pull from flock fliers as only six each racing Transport driver can fill his van with trainers but none liberated with racers ,allowing for a fair race. If a change in weather birds can be liberated early with all members sent a text,(Birds welfare being upermost) You have a lot to discuss at your inorgary meeting ----we join on the understanding that if the race is called on you pay your weekly fee if you send or not So the transport costs are met every week--making same cost each week If you lads are spread out you might find it best to have an east and west result to even out location. Look forward to seeing your first result o line --BEST OF LUCK.

    Ets

    Not the cheapest of sport to participate in but the ets rings are something that most guys are replenishing every year due to losing rings every time you loose a bird but a clock for use with rubbers is an option and i feel sure someone will have one if not i have an stb wind up you are welcome to if i can find it .you sort out transport. WHAT MAKE IS YOUR ETS .?
  3. Hi guys our midweek club in the north east race to same race point apart from one race with old birds and one with young birds, would be iinterested what your race program is. We race a little over 80 miles and as long as they dont get a bad race my young birds race all midweek and saturday races. We have a 6 bird limit on midweek racing no limit on saturday. We also have two any age races as old bird races end and young bird races start. Last year we had 19 members and when you join you pay if you send or dont so transport money is there. Losses over the last few seasons is less on midweek even though there is only a small liberation coming north. We basket on wed morning and birds are liberated not to get home before 5pm on a night unless weather dictates. BEST OF LUCK FOR 2017 SEASON.

    Wee Car

    Nip down scrap yard and get two wheel rims and have two winter tyres fitted ---they do work if we get snow but compound wears quicker on tarmac than normal tyre and tyre noise is louder with winter ones.

    Wee Car

    If you are buying for daughter stay away from diesel ---too expensive to repair when they go wrong,corsa,s have chain drive on small engine instead of T Belt these are known fault and a bit pricey to fix. ford ka are rot boxes,so what do you buy? well insurance dictates that a small car is preferable. dont go too old citroen c1,c2 or c3--petrol engine fiat punto --8 valve engine--get front subframe checked for corrosion peugeot 206 --petrol engine--get back axle checked--wheels lean and rear suspension sieze. toyota is good to. there are loads of tin boxes out there for sale---a full mot only means it passes the minimum requirements to go on the road. if there is nothing to hide tell the seller you will give him a tenner for fuel and ask them to take it to your mechanic for inspection if they wont walk away. hope this helps.
  6. New vw engine uses pizo injectors they dont like contaminated fuel ---so no putting fuel from 5 gal can---service regular with correct oil. Set of injectors for this type of engine are 870 trade and fueling is milage dependant so dont fiddle with speedo . Nice motors when they are running right.
  7. yes will be there.
  8. If you want to race full season and be competitive for full season you need them to hold the wing ,i use the darkness system to achive this and also use light later in the season to foolthem into thinking summer still here ,lights off at 11 pm.
  9. If a D.P.F is removed and it is visably obvious to an mot tester then this is a failure If the E.G.R valve (exhaust gas recycling valve) is blanked off the van ecu will generate a fault and this will say low air flow through EGR Valve---and will need ecu remapping to compensate and stop van dropping into limp mode. To give an inexpensive fix some mechanics use a blank with a 10mm hole so some air flows ---but if egr is the fault you will generate a PO400 code when read by scanner. Cheap scanners dont always read correctly and can miss fault codes. ALWAYS USE CORRECT ENGINE OIL FOR YOUR MOTOR---NEW CAR USE LOW ASH OIL. SOMEONE WITH MORE UPSTAIRS THAN ME OR YOU DESIGNED THESE TO RUN ON SPECIAL OIL
  10. The dpf is like a filter in the exhasust which can be blocked or partially blocked by a few things --most common is due to supermarket fuel ---can only describe this asuseing open cast coal on your fire---very little heat but loads of soot ,but if you use deep mined coal ,loads of heat veryy little soot. THe second way--on modern engines you have an exhaust gas recicling valve -these do go wrong and cause too much recicling causeing incomplete burn and block partical filter . 3rd injector fault or wrong signal causeing overfueling -- more soot -- blockage of dpf 4th engine is burning engine oil due to wear or turbo seals or head gasket blow into oil way ---this causes soot and blocks dpf. Most modern engines have a small pipe in front of dpf and one behind dpf ,these pipes are connected to a differencial sensor which can fault due to soot and i change when doing dpf clean on most motors. The vehicle must be connectedd to a suitable diagnostic machine not a micky mouse one and read on live data so assumptions can be made.also read exhaust gases they can tell you loads. Additives to the fuel are to raise the seatain rating of ghe fuel the try and raise temp in exhaust to burn off soot Running down motorway at high revs does the same - its called exhaust regen but if fault on engine -- no good. Some vehicles have a second tank and are filled with pats fluid which is filled during service as it is filled under vehicle---this fluid is added to clean particle filter. SO - IF YOU OWN A MODERN DIESEL ---ONLY ----ONLY --ONLY ,use esso v power ,bp ultimate or shell,not surre what their top fuel is------- these companies sell oil not loafs of bread like morrisons or asda USE BEST QUALITY FUEL ---20 QUIDS WORTH OF DEAR DOES MORE MILES THAN --20 quid of cheap and keeps engine internal parts clean. TURBOS also block with soot.
  11. Whats your problems--most dpf faults are caused by useing super markt fuel.
