Shaminder and I only made it to the COTN for a couple of hours. We left about 3 and you definitely weren't there but the guys did say you were coming a little later. Next time!

Great seeing some of you at the pub after such a long time. Shaminder and I will defo have to make the 2020 do! Dhanj

I was assuming that a full geo check straight afterwards would be absolutely essential after you put everything back together. McGrath are local to me so that's possibly where I would take the vehicle afterwards for the geo check. But whoever does the geo check would re-shim wouldn't they? I...

I did treat mine the once about 5 yrs ago. So I guess at 15 yrs old my QP hasn't done too bad. It has been dry stored/housed pretty much all it's life too, which probably helped to prolong things.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Makes me feel a bit better knowing I am not the only one. That old strength in numbers syndrome. ;) To be fair, I have known about the issue for 5 odd years. I did my best to grind off the rust and protect it, but it was inevitable it would fail at some point...

Thanks mate. I have got the whole of winter and plenty of space! ;) That subframe must be heavy enough as it is without the shock towers, steering rack, discs etc attached to it! How the **** did you get it out like that! 2/3 man job?! Lol What was the last nut to go before it landed on your...

A pic of the engine (sitting on the subframe) being lowered from a QP5 to give you an idea of what I am thinking.

Hi Guys and Girls, Hope everyone on here is well. Haven't been on here in a while. Too much of life's little stresses I am afraid. Talking of stresses, my QP ('04 Duo-select) hit the skids today by way of an MOT failure - excessive rust to an area of the front engine subframe. There is a...

I would have thought the same oil would be used to lubricate diff and gearbox on an MC shift car but on the older GTs that only came with the auto box, there would be different chambers to house gear oil and diff oil. Hopefully that explains it.

All good mate. Just busy as ****. Can't remember the last time I had a weekend to myself. I will try and get to a meet soon. Yes, still have the TR and QP.

Howdi Frank! Hope you're well mate. Shame the GTS is going. Can you send us a link to the full spec (is it advertised anywhere else - Pistonheads/autotrader perhaps?). By all means pm me if you are not advertising it publicly yet. I will ask around. I have a few family members that have been...

Hey Ross, I was at the season opener. Great game to watch. Shame about the result though! I think the game at Leicester is mid March. Let's see how the season pans out. If it's all to play for by that stage I'll see if I can set something up!

Congrats Matt. Looks gorgeous. I will have to get myself to a meet and ogle it some time!

Haven't been on the forum in ages and just popped in. I have been doing work on all my cars for ages, absolutely love it. If you keep your car long enough, it definitely pays off and offsets any loss in resale value IMO. Matt, Congrats on the Strad mate. That's awesome! How long you had it now...

Miles, we are top of the league I said we are top of the league... As for the Chelsea - going down with the Villa I'm afraid.. :D

Just get a good scrubber in to sort it Dem. Sounds like the last one was ****. :) EDIT: Just read Rob's post - looks like he got there ahead of me...

Another great outing. Wonderful to meet everyone again - as well as meet some new faces. You are right. Vamshi and Krishna are nutters. There is no way they are Indian surely?! :) Managed to get back in good time on Sunday - the QP behaved impecabbly the whole trip. Got back to receive some...

Just wired you £13 for Rad and myself Matt

Congrats Matt. Assuming you're bringing it to the xmas do, I look forward to seeing it. My nephew Aj has been itching to get back in a Massie since he passed on his GTS a few years ago and is eyeing a GS too.

QP should be raring to go for next week. Haven't driven her recently due to the weather but have managed about a thousand miles or so since servicing her myself in June. Got to say I am best pleased with my efforts. I have several Beemas and been servicing them myself for many years but this...
