After my first set of laps at Mallory at the weekend i returned to the paddock to find the car was finding it difficult idle.

I checked all the levels and pipes and continued to ring its neck around the track all was good .

Now im back home in sunny devon the car seems to still be having problems

If i coust the car to a stop the revs seem to fluctuate several times between 200 & 1100 rpm before comming to a stop at about 900rpm and thats if it dont stall :confused:

Any one got any advice!

I like to call us skilled engineers with the ability to adapt and make the impossible possible.:)
