Easier said than done tomorrow. My PCP is a Walther Rotex RM8. If you read the reviews they come across as being great. To be fair, when mine is working I can hit the greys right between the eyes head on or right behind the eye if a profile shot. I must say it's bloody accurate and consistent. However, the RM8's seem to have an issue with the regulators leaking and I sent mine back for the second time on Friday. I'll be using my old BSA Lightning springer and it's like using a blunderbuss compared to a PCP

Always found Beretta 12 Bore Over and under works better, or my mates nice silenced 410 for some covert unobtrusive vermin control

Yeah, but the farmer on this permission is very keen on keeping his trees in one bit. Wouldn't do my feeders any good either

That's quite an armoury there! No idea what the bottom gun is
We're just hanging on to the reds here. The greys just keep coming, so the more you shoot down there the better.

Do the keepering and vermin control on the farm, we hate the greys, will do our best,
like seeing a red in the wild, did some work on brownsea island a few years ago reds everywhere...lovely

The bloody grey going to my red feeder has been there the last three mornings ranging between 7.45 and 9.08 on the camera. Was in the hide by 7.15 and sat until 9 30 and the bugger didn't show.
I'll try again in the morning. We had a red handed in from about a mile away with squirrel pox two days ago, so it's a worry having a grey around. Gonna have lunch then try the turbo outlet playing on the wing test

Well, it's been a bad day all round.
Set the turbo test up.
Taped some kitchen roll to Inner wing.
Took her for a spin for about 6 miles.
Without looking at the kitchen roll you can see the oil that has collected on the silicone pipe.
Here's the kitchen roll.
So, another failure and back to scratching my head. Losing motivation with this a bit now I'm presuming that's yet another CHRA up the creek.

Just a thought for you there is a thread running elsewhere on the forum re oil / intercooler
Check out
Not sure if this helps at all
Fingers crossed
and re the Grey, everything comes to the hunter that waits, he has to get lucky everyday, u only have to get lucky once..

Cheers, yeah I saw that video the other day. I've had a makeshift catch bottle on the rocker vent pipe and nothing comes out of the vent, so doesn't look like it's the vac pump.
I can only think the oil pressure is too high going in or there's still a restriction of the oil leaving the turbo. I think the next thing is to take the new oil return pipe off and poke something in the hole in to the block to see if there is anything in there. Or, drain the oil and take sump pan off for a look from inside.

Cool thought a long standing member like yourself would have but thought i would just double check
Going to workshop now to kick my 110 project, sulk and look at my 90 and sulk somemore.
Hopefully diesel bob will come up trumps and that will fix the 90..
re the 110 running out of ideas, convinced it is either fuel or air problem.
Good luck with yours got to be something daft to cause this as you have rebuilt the engine

I'm sure diesel bob will sort the FIPs out.
Mine must be something obvious. Too obvious to see though
It's driving me up the wall. Can't even drown my sorrows tonight as I want to get up and wait for the squizzer again

Reckon we have slipped up here..
Just had that random thought, should have posted me your CHRA or one of your new ish ones.
Could have fitted that to mine and see if it blew oil out
That would prove if it was cartridge related..after all mine is in bits so could have fitted it easily.

Never occurred to me. Might have been able to save you £100

whilst that would have been nice it would have given you more of an idea and rule out your chra or rule it inNever occurred to me. Might have been able to save you £100

I haven't considered that. Mine could well be blocked the amount of oil it's burned over the last few years. How does that cause the turbo to leak oil?

Cheers, mate. I'll do some Googling on blocked CATs. Really appreciate you thinking of this and taking the time to post.
