Yah daz slippen.... I think toasted probably: twisted: Mind you my head is toasted from the great sun we had today at Pod 8)

I have a couple of vids Lee, not as bad as I thought, but off my phone so not best in the world... after a few runs of the Scoff setting up the engine note is a nice growl. I'll email, not sure about the file type stuff...
... A diamond is only a piece of coal that did well under pressure... PRV afflicted, may be I need to squeeze harder!!!!

Don't think the 610 will hold either :wink: :twisted:
I've got to put this in then get it mapped for 24+ psi .It will rev to a safe 7500 now and just wants more and more fuel .

If its going to 7500, so you have any idea of power or torque figures now?

Should be up dramatically!

Looks good

I can't really say until we get the clutch sorted and fully mapped .
We know what we think it's capable of and Scoff was in agreement even after the limited time he had mapping on Friday .
He is going to look at the logs and let us know if the injectors are going to max out .

:lol:

I will if they bother to leave a message and it's something I need to attend to .Normally my phone rings when I'm under the car or driving it at 100 % :twisted: :P
Or it's work work and then I just ignore it :wink:

UK supplier, yes would be interested? Need to be cheapy cheap, coz the rigid paddle plate above came out of my junk gratis like :wink:

The plate that failed, well not seen it yet, but pretty sure has anyway, came off the 24V lump I bought that time ages ago Andy. Out of interest, you don't recall it's history now?

Slightly off course- but will a master clutch fit any of the Alps?? Should be bombproof if designed for a diesel?? Chap too!

Anyone tried/know what needs to be adapted?

Cover plate is about 5mm taller over the fingers so you lose that amount on the slave push rod movement .It still works fine though .You could always shorten the rod though if it was an issue .
The friction plate should be OK 240 diameter .
2.5 and 2.5 turbo diesel UN5 around £95 for a 3 piece kit .
If someone wants to try it give me a shout :wink:
