    Warranty work incidents advice

    Quite common, if you search 'boot rust' or 'bootlid rust' something like that you'll see it come up. No nothing at all, and the battery is in the glovebox so no need to even pop it for that.

As we know the 197s suffer from a common rubbing of the rear window on the bootlid, so I wanted to get this sorted before it rubbed right through and the inevitable rust...

    Cro's r27 f1- build video inside

    Well been a while since any updates, and thats because there wasn't much else going on.

I try and get it out every now and again for a few days but one of...

    Gearbox squeal / screech

    Gearbox squeal / screech

    Bit of a strange one, recently from cold the car has a squeal / screech noise that rises with revs when the clutch pedal is pushed in. Makes a little of the same noise when its in gear and driving up the revs slowly. Seems to disappear or get too high pitched to hear after 2k revs or so and...
