Hi all
Big sort out continues all these gearboxes are of to be recycled along with the radiators. Don't worry we still have at least 4 S2/3 boxes with a couple of S1 boxes as well as some reconditioned radiators. The new shelving is looking to be a lot stronger than the BIG DUG ones as the steel is thicker and the shelf boards are thicker as well.

Hi all I have actually started the newsletter (honest) so I am still looking for articles, I have one for the fitting of a battery isolator switch and there will be my ramblings but if anyone wants to say something about the late Don Cross that would be nice.

Hi all
It is in my mind to give the engine we bought from Don's estate a spin over so the next reasonable day I will move it outside, connect an oil pressure gauge and a battery and see what happens.

Hi all
I have 2 articles from members for the newsletter so if any of you feel creative get on that laptop and bash a side of A4 out include some pictures and send it to me.
Other news
Several members have reported on difficulties in getting SPAX to own up to have ever made rear shock absorbers for our cars so I got in touch with them and they have explained that Brian Fenton had got a set made by using their custom option. Further to this I have negotiated a 20% discount for a pair of rear shockers so if anyone is interested let me know and the Consortium can place a firm order.

SPAX shock absorber update
I have negotiated the price of the shock absorbers to £112 each plus postage. The plan is for the Appia Consortium to buy 5 pairs to get the 20% discount.

Hi all
I have one definite for a pair of new shock absorbers... would be nice to be able to find homes for a couple of sets and have the others on the shelf for future buyers.
I am still looking for articles for the newsletter I have two definites so if you are feeling creative get writing.

Hi all
Deadline for any newsletter articles is 28th of February. No work done on cars today, some spares sorted and posted but the big news is that after fixing my mate Terry's thermostat on his E Class Merc (symptoms were cool running 60 degrees on the gauge , heater poor , diesel particle clean routine on all the time , heavy mpg)he offered to change out all the fluorescent tube lights in the unit. Over time they have either faded or conked out and as tubes are now banned I had been pondering on what to do. In stepped Terry and he had priced, purchased and fitted 4 new 5ft LED lamps in a day, truly a prince among men. The tricky lights to replace are about 30ft in the air and we will have to hire a scaffold platform to safely do the changeover.

Scaffold platform hired and delivered and erected. The trunking carrying the fluorescent lights is 5 metres from that hard concrete floor (it just looked like 30ft) so it was a relief to be stood on the scaffolding platform a mere 4 metres from the floor. Terry was well chuffed and about 6 hours later we had the two sets of LED lights fitted and working. Terry thinks we need a couple more 5ft LED lights so he has a plan to fit two pairs in parallel. Watch this space. A welcome bonus was when observing the electricity meter it was barely moving unlike when the fluorescent lights were all on. Pictures to follow.

Looks like the plug for SPAX in our newsletter has allowed me to get an order together for the replacement dampers...watch this space.

Will be ordering the SPAX dampers on Monday so if anyone else is interested get in touch as we are only ordering a batch of 5 pairs. I had an opportunity today to see up close the original dampers and they are heavy duty bits of kit so we will see what SPAX come up with.
