KSF has recently made it to Coventry for the TDCIR, where it was the only Pageant car in attendance, not like common old Magenta, where there were three
The car ran great, I do get a little bit of whining and shake when I lift off the throttle at around 70mph, but not sure what this is. Possibly the propshaft, but I have a spare I can swap over. Anyway, it's only minor, I'm a bit of a perfectionist
It was a great day out, and nice to meet various members!
A couple more issues surfaced on the way back from TDCIR - I lost my brake lights and the horn decided to stick on when going round a roundabout!
Luckily the brake lights were due to me inadvertently pulling the wire off after I had the dash panel out
easily fixed at the service station
The horn problem is due to the indicator switch packing up AGAIN (this is the 6th switch I've had fail!). Luckily it's due to the button in the end of the arm, not the switch part; these just pull out so I might be able to salvage a spare arm off a broken unit and swap them over with a little bit of soldering...
Finally, I now have a matching set of five GKN wheels all datestamped "78"
And three non-GKN 78 wheels as spares
Will be polished up and on the car soon...
