Aft'noon all,
     
Just gave the Spitty a once over this weekend, as it's feels so tired it 
accelerates like it's a diesel(Poor old Tom, I know how you feel now!:-))  
Anyway I did a compression check and got a 145psi over all 4 cylinders!!!  
Pretty good I thought for an engine that's done 80,000 miles in the last 4 
years, 90% of which have been thrashed!! :-) I checked everything else except 
for the timing which appears to be OK, any ideas what could?  I'm fed up with 
being outrun by Securicor Diesel transit vans in 3rd gear!! :-(
     
ps, for anyone whose interested, there is are a few updates on my friends web 
page relating to my crop of daily nails, errrm vehicles!!!  You can see my old 
Herald on it now!!! :-)

OK, cheers

ps, is there anyone else except for Pat going to Le Mans this year?
