Uncovered the rv yesterday put battery on charge just to wake up the cells a bit. Third turn of the key she started, running great did all the usual checks everything checked out so went out for a short blast, came home checked all again all super so out for a longer run this time soft top off. Mot due so now need to get it booked in. But it's looking good for another year.

What I find strange is that an escort Unit has been used on a Corrina based kit,must have been to hand at time of build. My RV is fitted with standard brakes from the donor cortina with the pipes shortened to suit body/chassis length as in the eagle build paperwork (you couldn't really call it a manual) I can't get to the RV at the moment but if you have no joy with the books I will try to have a look tomorrow as to which way round the unions fit ref. Front And rear.

A good weekend was had by all even if the weather did try to spoil it a little. Big thanks to all who made the effort and took part. The number of cars was quite good considering the weather I think. A couple of pic. Sunday Monday

Organisers say that you have to be driving to get in free and the passenger would have to pay either way We did get a jago in last year but he a-framed it to the road outside and then he pushed it though the entrance. He went back for his truck and frame a little later using his wrist band to get back in to the showground

Eagles are welcome on the stand in any condition. People understand that things take time and there's never enough time before a show. I know I've missed a few though motor issues.

MOT passed today, straight though no problems at all. Took it to get a little more fuel ready for some more miles. The breather/header tank has cracked and is letting water escape when under pressure so have too wait until Tuesday for a new one. Finally got time to work on the tank. New one fitted.

Peter Just had a look at the register and you show our RV as no dvla trace? I just ran the check myself using just the reg and Eagle and all the details appear. When you have a spare minute could you please look into it for us, It will show another that has not been striped and hopefully after the weekend it will show another back on the road as it is insured and taxed which it has been since last year(forgot to cancel as I didn't know the MOT had run out) Thank you.

Long overdue update.... I got it all sorted and took it to stoneleigh last year, the sun roof leaked big time where I hadn't sealed it properly so I got a little wet (understatement of 2015).great weekend though, We took it to a couple of local shows and got invited to take part in our local festival parade, i will post some pictures when I get a minute. It ran out of MOT last July and I didn't notice until it was parked the wrong side of the scaffolding which was put up for our roof to be retiled ect, so I couldn't get it out. Christmas done and the roof finished I went to start it to ready it for its MOT. NO GO ! Checked all out and no spark checked the points etc sort of OK but nothing from coil at all. So weighed it all up and decided that now would a good time to put a electronic system on, so new distributor coil and new silicon leads ordered. Fitted them today it started second turn of the key, tweeked it with the timing light and its as good as its ever been. Checked all lights etc ready for MOT hopefully next weekend if I get a minute. I did notice to day that the headlights beams were different to each other when I checked I had connected them differently must have been missed at last MOT and I haven't driven it in the dark it was only that it was parked in my carport close to the gate that I noticed.

The chassis number should be on the left Hand side of the chassis in the engine bay on the section where it angles down to the main section (if that makes any sence)
