Fairly straightforward. It's the solenoids that take a while to rewind

I am sure that we can offer some assistance in streamlining rewinding of solenoids, perhaps we can have a chat about it over the weekend Nick? ;)

My issues only tend to appear on the way TO the meets. I can set off fine. It's the arriving that's the problem.

You're not wrong Jay - I thought I was the only one!

Apart from the ongoing transmission issues, my car has been good as gold up until now. Then last weekend I get it out of the garage to take on a short run and boom, suddenly develops another problem, leaving me with zero time this week to do anything about it!

It may be I have to wait until the morning now to see if the car is ok to drive for the short distance...
