Thanks Scottie, just need o figure out how to reduce noise and more importantly the brake balance!

Can I out reducing valve in for the rears? The problem I have is the weight distribution is 850 rear and 600 front!

Please can I have your opinions on this please-

Going to use a proportional valve that will allow me to restrict the pressure to the rear brakes. Will this be IVA friendly?

Well, after the third attempt, the car has now passed the IVA

Hi Scottie,

Sorry for the late reply, I added an adjustable proporsioning valve for the Rees. Once found the correct balance, drilled thru and removed the knob so it's disabled as its not allowable under IVA to be adjustable

I took it to an mot station before going and was ok so I drove to the IVA and enjoyed every minute even though it was hissing it down

Thanks Paul.

Just changing the plugs at the mo, couldn't get to 4 so took the manifold off changed them now can't get the damn thing back on.

Funny thing is,tried the other side and managed to get the plugs out with a spanner without taking the manifold off!!!!

Finding it difficult to get into gear.

Have bled clutch but still the same. Could low gearbox oil cause this or barking up the wrong tree?

Hi DAve,

It is cable operated. Was ok when 1st started driving, now I can't put it into reverse without turning the engine off, put it into reverse and then starting up again!?
