[pab]

This looks and sounds a great idea,put me down on the possibles list and I will inform you for definate nearer the date..

[James.uk]

Looking good at the moment, no one seems to want anything doing to their cars, so we wont need anyone to do anything innit. I can see me heading off for an afternoon on the beach at Colwyn Bay again. :D. lol..

*Wanders off singing "I do like to be beside the sea sideeeee" ----* :D:D

(Another thinly disguised bump innit) ;)

[justmicky]

Hi Paul,

Can you add me to the provisional list.


Sounds like an ideal place for a fish exchange :D

[James.uk]

Hiya Micky, not sure how long the fish can survive in a plastic bag, may be better for me to drop them off at your place?? was/am going to ask my mechanic to add oxygen via his welding gear to the bag to give them max survival poss. :)

Be nice if you can make the meet though. :}

Hi Paul,

Was unable to attend last 2 Weds meets at Hollow Tree but should be there on 1st/2.

I will be there for Nano meet on 25th/3.

Does anyone have a T4, I have a Maxiscan MS509 which I can bring, bought for a Ford I used to own but never used on my Rover CDTi although it is 2004 model so should work.
Not very up on these scanners so perhaps someone could enlighten me and any other that are interested on the day?

Brgds Dennis

[ssizefive]

Hi Paul, could you put me down as a possible please, i am not aware of anything that needs doing but there is time yet:D

Thanks

[James.uk]

Hiya lads, the car park we normally use, by the side door, may not be big enough to take all the cars. :o

But if anyone has a prob parking there is a big area on the left of the main car park as you come in.. it was a road, but got blocked off when the duel carriageway was built, so can now be used for parking, nice firm tarmac base if anyone needs to jack their cars up innit.. :}
...

[bobgrice]

This sounds a good day,do we have to book for a T4 session or is it first come first served? :D

[Scouse1958]

What has happened to the Cheshire meets organised by Rchard and Mike?
These were run along the lines of the Wolves nano-meets covering owners club and community members. Seems the NW nanomeet is just for OC members. We all drive the same cars after all.:shrug:

Hi CheshireCat

Richard is no longer a RS after he stepped down and the north west
did not have a RS for quite a while after that so i asked if i could help
to get it going again. Now Mike i have been in touch with and he knows
about the meet and is sorting it out on that thread i posted on there site
about jan 5th had 2 replys and that was it. The Community is also very welcome as well
to come along to the meet as you said we all drive the same cars hope that helps.

Paul
Can you include me for the meet,like some assistant on replace Viton O rings, and aerial to chinese d/d if poss. Cheers Tom.

[James.uk]

There were never any nano meets held in the North West that I can remember??? We did have a T4 at one meeting and that resulted in the landlord banning us from the Romper!! :o

Meets were then moved to the hollow tree and have been ever since. But no restrictions have ever been placed on who attends??? :shrug:

There is a Nano proposed in the near future, but that will be the first.. :}
...

[woolleysox]

Last Sunday at the midlands nano we had 75 n ZT owners club, community , 260s and .org also mg OWNERS CLUB 34 cars in all. Super weather a catering van for grub and drinks a great day out.Any of you guys are welcome to join us at any of the Midlands nano meets if you fancy the drive down. Hope all goes well for you :bowdown::bowdown:don't forget the pictures :getmecoat:

[trebor]

nice to see another nano website springing up, well done and sorry I cant be at this one as would like a ride to the meet but hopefully next time around

[Gman2]

I'll be asking the following derv questions:

Have I got an EGR bypass fitted already
Have I got the PCV upgrade
Anyone attending with the air filter mod?

I know there's lots of pics out there but there's nothing like seeing the real thing!

Oh - and have I got the 115 or 135 :o

1.8T:

How would I go about doing a matrix reverse flush without removing the unit.

There'll be more no doubt before the weeks out :D

[James.uk]

1/ Undo the circlip on the big hose front right and look inside the EGR, if it's hollow, then yes, if theres a valve in there, then no..

2/ Take engine cover off followed by the rear engine cover and you should be able to tell from the part numbers I think.

3/ No proven benefit from altering the air intake is there?

A road test is prob the surest way we have of finding that out.. Sticky labels on door pillars may be fake or missing..

1.8/// .. Take the feed pipes off under the bonnet and stick a hose down each in turn.. :}
...

[Gman2]

Thanks James - all questions answered. No point turning up to the meet then :D

[comet]

Would love to come, my 12yr old has had a bad time of late,tank fuel pump and filter replaced as a precaution, but I have a prior appointment so I wish you all a good day. I hope the parking area to the left of the Hollow Tree is full of 75's.

[andyg2011]

[andyg2011]

In the absence of a reply from Paul I wouldn't think it would be a problem you bringing a few bits to tempt people John.

I'm sure sombody will be available to assist you in fitting the door seal.

Weathers looking great for tomorrow - should be a fantastic get together :D:D:D

I'm glad to see the meet was successful and I hope to see you all in the near future. :)

[BigRuss]

Another great meet :D

Good to see everyone as always, appologies to those who I didn't get chance to talk to not enough time and busy as usual.

Just got home going to put my feet up for a bit. ;)

Many thanks to all for organising today, great location and couldn't ask for better weather.

Russ

[kissifer1972]

Sorry I couldn't make this one. Looks like it was a good meet with a good turn out.

Tis the Wife's Birthday today, so was never going to be any chance for me to get to this one.

Hope to get to one in the future.

Chris

[Tian905]

Thanks to everyone for a good day out.

Big thanks to Big Russ for sorting my key and running the diagnostics. We were the last two remaining at the end of the day I think we left at about 7pm.

Cheers

[Canonite]

Was a grand day out, thanks for the hospitality chaps. It had started strangely, I began getting palpitations as I drove closer to the border and by the time I got to Birch services i'd hit some inter-manc time zone and lost an hour of my day. :shrug:

Nice to meet a few other members and the usual banter etc. Was gutted my camera battery died towards the end but I did shoot a few off my phone.

First one was the interesting, I call it "Super Mega Epic Fuse Change"

Very good turn out today and the weather was perfect for us. It was nice to meet a few new members and catchup with old ones. Sorry i didnt stay long but after a very long night i thought id at least call in and say hello

Big thanks to Paul for arranging the meet (the club banner is cool)
and to Bigruss for the X-power upgrade ;)

Looking forward to seeing you all the next one :}

Tony

[Touchstone]

My thanks to all for making me feel welcome, on my first meet.
I will be coming to more of them now I know at least a few of you.
Duncan, tell Sharon, it's not often I get a young lady to touch anything (if ever) these days, let alone my touch screen.
Should you decide to go for one, and need a hand fitting, give me a call.
Tony, let me know how you get on re your aerial, if you want a hand, as I said just give me a shout.
Also, about how many it takes to change a fuse, I stood and watched, does this count.

Sorry if I have not included your car but I did get a bit tied up and mucky and missed a few.

[James.uk]

Aha, I saw Jimbo removing the wheel but as we were near Liverpool I thought it was quite normal... ;) :D:D

I was a bit late getting there, (erm, two hours late!) And sadly missed the scrap van man offering £50 for the lot! :D Bet that was funny.. :D:D

As usual, some very nice cars there, and loads more people than is normal for a N/W meet. :D Also nice to see BigRuss busy as usual, but the wrong side of the Country for him. :D

Seem I missed Andy Willi. Sorry Andy.. :o

I also missed Frank Incensed coz he wasn't there.. :shrug:

For anyone interested, there is a nice field next to the Pub for picnicking or walking your dog.. :}

All in all, a very enjoyable run out. My thanks to all who attended.. :}

PS. Based on todays turnout. It may be worth moving the Monthly meet from a Wednesday evening to a weekend?? :shrug:

Hi Neil, The Xpower has made a difference :) I'm normally a 60/65 kinda guy on the motorway (Sharons the Speed Demon !) but I was easily cruising at 75 without much effort, I'd describe it as a more "Fruity" drive.
Sharon went out in it this morning and said it's got more power for over-takin. :D

Great photos from everyone and of everyone.

Really enjoyed it and look forward to many more meets both normal 1st Weds, Nano and any organised trips this summer.

Must also say once again a big thank you to Paul for all his efforts in organising things and thought the club shirts and fleeces looked good and gave the whole thing a sense of comraderie.

Paul i think a Sunday meet would be more beneficial to us than a Wednesday night meet.
Can you start a poll and see what others think

Tony

i agree tony matey

maybe a poll would be good

but we never going to win with meeting times as someone is going to be ie work/family/busyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[J1MBO]

Originally meets were at the Romper near Manchester Airport, we used to meet at 1:00pm on a Sunday and the first meets at the Hollow Tree were again at 1:00pm on a Sunday.

I don't really have a problem what day/time the regular get together's are but others might have other thoughts. Recently James UK had also mentioned about moving the meets to a Sunday.

Maybe as suggested it's an idea to poll the local members.

[Scouse1958]

Ok Guys have put up a poll for the members to vote and see what they think
