@danthecapriman it's the ZF box you can't rev in park or neutral as it destroys the clutch packs. Before flushing the oil on mine I checked what a recon unit was just in case it was terminally fuckerated and nearly cried...

I believe Mr. Flowers has done it as well and can offer pointers. It's an AW71 in this isn't it? If so, they are regarded as being stronger than the ZF22 so hopefully it won't have done any long term harm to the box. Nice to see it finally getting some attention!

Regarding postponement, I was thinking the same thing. They're talking about this dragging on for a few months at least so it's entirely possible the decision will be taken out of Trigg's/our hands by the powers that be anyway.

Do we have to camp in an actual tent? If so I'll need to get one and then hide in the car anyway... I'm in anyway, can pay in advance/on the day, whichever is easiest.

If you poked it too hard all the fluids would come out. Not sure if that makes it different to any other Capri though.

Most of those look ropey. Could be a promising day out!

SVM Assist; The 42nd Emergency Service. Having loaded quite ridiculous amounts of shit into 700/900 estates I had no doubt it would cope easily with a Triumph engine and four tyres. Performance is seldom affected by weight other than requiring more stopping distance. Good job all round to those involved though and the rebuilt bottom end looks bonny.

Slow on this due to working a lot and not being home but I have been informed via the electric speaking type telephone that mine arrived yesterday. Cheers muchly!

Everyone who works at the AA is called Edmund King.

That looks quite bonny.

Smol Eddy is getting bigger it seems!

All the automated manuals were designed for wagons, hence their ability to do motorways and not a lot else. ArseTronic is further hampered by having been designed to work best with Iveco Tector engines and bodged to suit everything else. Apparently the worst of then all is Merc's PowerShift, which takes about a fortnight between changes.

Two recent arrivals The AEC you may recognise as being ex Datsuncog, suitably fettled but still requiring the hose connection to be sorted. Well chuffed for the money! The other is a much rebuilt Matchbook Superkings K39, made from the bits of three of the buggers to replace my childhood one that was damaged a few years back.

Late Dennis Javelin, three Kia Picantos and a trio of Jag XK8s? The Landy is too dear now so that'd need to be a Ssangyong Musso or something.
