Thanks Ian And Hilary for a great day.

Who's dolphin grey A2 I'd parked closest to the camera? Are they rotiform alloys? Look great.

Whew. Just home via Markfield. 495 mile round trip and 60.5mpg according to fuelly. Its improving.
Remap gives much smmother running and free'er revving. Cruise on almost all the way back.
Now for other Timmus mods and MYP Gearbox.

So you like the remap then

CC is great, so much better on your right foot

Try some liqui moli diesel purge, I ran a litre through mine and added 6mpg I ran 1/2 a litre directly through just the injectors, then the other 1/2 in the tank with only about 4 or 5 litre of fuel in the tank

its about £12 a litre, I bought a 5 lt can for £37, but I had a few cars to do

Yes far more civilised drive. I initially put some Stanadyne additive through which made a big difference but will look into your suggestion.
Many thanks.

Disappointed I arrived a little too late, wanted to see two A2s. Saw the yellow one but the orange one had gone. Maybe next year?

I’m sure with enough planning that can be arranged!!

@PeterS you're welcome - Tom's review of the day was he saw some interesting A2 engine bays, but was sad not to have any time to actually visit any of the museum.

Sounds great. Sorry I missed it. Why is Philward’s A2 the tallest? Balloon wheels and extra springs?

It has a factory fitted tow bar so is fitted with longer rear springs than standard. It needed new springs to pass its MOT with new spring seats so the rear end is way up. The front has been fitted with new suspension arms and consoles so I assume the new rubber is yet to bed in? Could have longer than standard front springs from the factory to keep things balanced? First thing I noticed when I arrived was that the full line up of cars were much lower than my car.
Standard tyres filled with top quality North Yorkshire air.

Got you. I wondered if I’d missed a modification and you’d made an A2 alltrack or something.
