Power Steering

Added a new section about power steering. Also updated a few galleries.

Car has had power steering cooler fitted, suspension checked and replaced, Oil changed, fuel filters replaced for bigger ones, fuel tank removed and fuel removed via a strainer, then put back and swilled around, then removed. No contamination found so hopefully the fuel starvation issue was the filters blocking.

Added window sliders to try and reduce in car temperatures.

Got to mess about with the exhaust mounts and get them stronger, may also try and get the system closer to the car, see if we have time.

Sumpguard

Added some more photos of the sumpguard as people wanted to know more about fitting etc.

Have been going through all the small jobs that are on the board. One was to add a heat shield for one of the front suspension bushes. The exhaust sits next to it and we were concerned it may melt, or at least adversely affect it. Took the bush off to gain access and found that grit had made it’s way between the moving parts. That will have to be a service item from now on after an event – remove and clean bushes. Shield looks OK, may need some trimming when the sumpguard goes back on.
