    Event Title: Thruxton Coffee Run
    Event Author: WB_86
    Event Date: 19.02.2023

    The Thruxton Coffee Run is on every 3rd Sunday of the month over winter. The event aims to be the south’s biggest cars & coffee meet for all Makes, Models and age of vehicles. 

    Register here https://thruxtonracing.co.uk/coffee-run so the circuit knows how many to expect.

     

    Several hundred cars turned up in Jan, filling most of the infield tarmac areas. Arrive early if you want to beat the queues for coffee/breakfast.

    Large number of satisfied customers hopefully will back me up with their 1st hand experience

    I am also a satisfied customer of TD. They've done a couple of services and some mods for me. Last time I visited them was a few weeks back and I've only had positive experiences with TD. 

    I've never had any problems contacting TD by phone and have never heard the automated message @itsuki describes.

    After 4 years on the car my original Primacies are starting to perish/get surface cracks and are ready for replacement. I know a lot of people rate the PS4 for road use but, in looking for new tyres, it looks like the PS4 has been discontinued and replaced by the Pilot Sport 5.

    Has anyone tried the Pilot Sport 5s yet?

    I'll give it a go with the pressure washer but am as sure as I can be that there's nothing inside the jet as I've already tried cleaning it out with a small detailing brush and a pin.

    Hot water's not a bad shout, it might shift any grot that's stuck in the pipes.

    Vinegar to shift any scale build up would be worth a go too but don't fancy smelling like a chip shop for the next few weeks/months.

    The pump must be ok as the headlights and passenger jets are all fine, so whatever the problem is must be something to do with the 3 way check valve or the driver's side pipe or jet (all of which need the cowl taken off to get a proper look at them).

    My driver's side washer jet has decided it no longer wants to wash the driver's side of the screen but is instead squirting into the middle of the screen.

    There doesn't seem to be any adjustment in the washer jet itself nor does there seem to be any kind of blockage in the jet.

     

    Passenger side washer jet is still working normally so I'm thinking the problem is either the driver's side washer jet itself or there's an air/lock or blockage in the tubing/check valve or something's come adrift somewhere between passenger and driver's side jets.

     

    Anyone had similar symptoms before?

     

    Also, does anyone know how to access the washer tubing and valves? It looks like the wiper arms and cowl panel have to come off to get at them. If anyone's had the cowl off before, is it worth buying replacement cowl trim clips (seems to be a round and a square type) before I start?

    Thanks all for the welcomes.

     

    I have read that Bedford is a good track to start with (due the large run-off areas) but I can't make that date. The 4 Oct seems to be the only Bedford date I have an outside chance of being able to make this year.

    Given the dates I can do in Aug/Sept, I' m currently looking at starting off with an evening at Brands Indy, Llandow Circuit or a Drive Limits day at North Weald.

    HI all. Long time lurker but I finally got round to signing up to the forum and thought I should introduce myself.

    I've owned a facelift GT86 for the last 3 years and am looking into taking it out on track soon.
