Title: An HPE finally back in fine fettle. Post by: Sandro on October 03, 2022, 12:12:34 PM Hi all, This is a note of gratitude I wanted to make public here. For those who 'don't know' my HPE's been running rough since I've had it. Running well in fact but having intermittent power outages now and then, (more often swinging through roundabouts.) Nigel kindly offered to help me resolve these issues whilst providing crucial assistance updating my fuel system Nigel parachuted in on Friday and the following day we were driving through heavy Danish rain in a 'very' happy HPE. Finally putting my poor running issues to rest. It was a joy and privilege watching Nigel work. A very big 'thank you' Andrew Title: Re: An HPE finally back in fine fettle.

Great result, glad Nigel’s visit was a success. Amusing choice of phrase ‘Nigel parachuted in’ given it is an old hobby of his…. Peter Title: Re: An HPE finally back in fine fettle. Post by: Sandro on October 03, 2022, 02:07:30 PM Thanks Peter,
'Yes' that reference was one I thought Nigel would appreciate. ;) ;D I hope the HPE restoration's going well. Regards, Andrew Title: Re: An HPE finally back in fine fettle. Post by: Nigel on October 03, 2022, 05:05:52 PM 'Yes' that reference was one I thought Nigel would appreciate. ;) ;D I do, thanks! An observation already mentioned to Andrew, but driving a left-hooker on the right was initially a brain overload. I found this interesting as I'm completely comfortable in my Mazda when in France. Otherwise, his car drives and performs well. Andrew, adding to the list of 'things-to-do', gear lever bushings and link rod replacement will eliminate most of the free-play. Next year perhaps!

You're welcome back anytime at all. The sooner the better ..Next summer however sounds like a good plan, The weather is more hospitable, and it's a great time to see the country. I've added those tasks you mentioned to the to-do list and am rather motivated to make my way through them I'll keep you updated. All the best Andrew Title: Re: An HPE finally back in fine fettle. Post by: Nigel on October 29, 2022, 01:41:46 PM Andrew has designed and had printed a few of these, and sent
me one, thanks mate! I don't think he's going to promote it himself but he may well make more if there's sufficient interest. And it's heaps better than the frequent FB rubbish we see.
