Dear Peter,
this is a fantastic idea. I hope everybody will participate this new platform to exchange information and stay in contact with all the others.
Shell we comunicate in English, or in German ?
Stormy greetings from
Klaus & Birgit Klement ( Jülich, Germany )

Thank you Klaus and Birgit,
I propose to use English as this increases the number of people joining the discussions by a factor of 10 (for compensation the English have to suffer our English Wink

O.K. will try it in English. But how do you translate o.k. in English ?

This is a most welcome idea; the Lagonda Club is rather lethargic and does not even dare to publish articles on technical topics in the Magazine.
Therefore indeed - congratulations!
Might I start with a problem I have with my 2L engine which I hope somebody out there might have an answer to.
I have a twin SU carburetter downdraught cylinder head on the engine. It runs very well but the carbs "spit back" quite a bit of petrol through the air inlets, causing a rather explosive atmosphere under the bonnet.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this? Could increased valve overlap cause this or could it be just the inlet valve timing? The car idles and runs very well, can it do so with incorrect valve timing?

Hi guys! Thank goodness you decided on English - I have enough problems with what is supposed to be my natural tongue!

But where is the Rapier section - we too small for you?
