My understanding from the VSCC Forum is that longterm Lambda owner and enthusiast Mike Cole has died after suffering a stroke last week.
He will be missed by us all.

To follow up , 403 has been looked at - extensively and there doesn't seem to be a way to reproduce it - I do not suffer from it

( my setup is Windows10&11(with AntiVirus)/Chrome or Edge/Android devices )

I think the only solution will be an installation of a new forum and to set this one to be read-only. This is not trivial ( there is no automated way to set up user accounts that I know of for instance )

We cannot upgrade this forum and the installation in 2004 ( as far as I can tell ) is not standard - so the upgrades 'needed to be fettled' - we are at the end of v1.1 of the software, next step is v2.0. There is nothing to say they'll work ( because the installation is not standard ) and if they don't we may be left with nothing.

An option may be to ask for a clone of the server and trial the upgrade there ... this is also non-trivial IMHO and depends if Zen Hosting can do this

Meanwhile, I've attached my profile from the forum using the default settings from SMF ....

Mechanic just called to say when he removed the plugs, no 2 plugs was all smashed up and said something is stuck between the piston & sleeve. 

Could it be a broken ring?

He's going to remove the head tomorrow.

Take the plugs out and see if it turns over.

Hi

Yesterday I started my S1 Fulvia engine easily for about 3 minutes but was smokey. I put it down to cold weather & choke out

Today, it would not start. Oil is clean & level is normal.

I removed / checked starter motor - works fine. Then I put a screwdriver on the flywheel teeth and it moved back & forth.. Replaced the starter but it would not turn over.

Anyone any idea as to what it could be? Or what else I can check?

Many thanks

This forthcoming issue will feature the Delta integrale, so expect a decent amount of material.
Judging by previous features (Stratos, rallye 037, Giro d'Italia, Alfa 155 V6 Ti, Ferrari 333SP and more), it will definitely be worth a look. I myself will be purchasing a copy for sure!

I set my six bolt fly wheel at 32 lb/ft

The months passed quickly enough, he contacted me to say he'd be down later in December before Christmas.

Sure enough he appeared and we spent two solid hours going over and over the B12. Panel by panel, gap by gap, line by line. All we're critiqued and judgement passed.

He spent much time shaking his head, tut tutting and generally making all the wrong noises. To be honest it wasn't looking good.

His parting words were, its just too much work especially having to undo and or make good lots of issues that needed addressing

But he said he'd contact me in a few days with a yay or nay.

The issue is erratic but dominatingly persistent for a significant part of the membership.

Just to feedback on this thread, as you've seen I've uploaded quite a few posts and photos in the last week or so.

Not once have I had a 403.

However occasionally when I've carried out a search and  received 5/6/7 etc pages of results, only then, usually by page 4/5 do I then get an error. I wait a while, then search again.

So this issue is erratic and intermittent with no seemingly common factor

It has been investigated several times and noting Tim's post, it may be the only option
