had to call Doctor Bob out on a emergency call, (the 24/7 hour hotline number still works!) to perform some surgery after the waterpump had failed, a known fault on 00/01 cars, the impella was spinning on the shaft not pushing the water around as it should so the engine would warm up really fast making it un-driveable



like any good apprentice his work was methodically checked by his master over in the
States, who phoned a few times to check on his workmanship





while the coolant was out, Baz also swapped the factory 195 degree thermosat for a 180.
Needless to say, TB is back to full health, cheers Baz and 'The Wizard' for sending over the parts and valuable advice

more work planned today to test the humble apprentice, as he tackles a few more viper tasks... at the moment he's snoozing in bed dreaming of earning his magic wand


!!! LONG LIVE TATORS DODGE !!!

day two was slightly more interesting experience! using a friends race team garage to get Chris's car on the ramps for a full monty, diff and gearbox fluid change, fuel filter, oil and filter change, plugs and leads, new drive belt, coolant and brake fluid change, so much easier on a nice set of new ramps, and Baz did a great job as usual

It so happens Graham, the team http://www.teamparkerracing.com/Home.aspx preps 21 of the cars for the Caterham series and also knows Simon very well, they are off to N'ring in March to test a ring prepped special Porsche which is competing out there this season

Andy the guy who owns that team, said the ramps were just £1500 what a bargain, if you've the space, though chris's car is slightly lowered and he couldnt drive straight on, needed to drive onto a bit of timber to get the needed clearance then slip the ramp arms under
