did you find it?

Well, I joined the RAC the other day - £7.72 a month it works out at for 12 months to get dragged home on the back of a trailer should something bad happen apparently - Much cheaper than the AA equivalent which they stung me over £100 for a year or two ago.

Who are you with if any and why?

one will turn up eventually Anita

As above really

Anyone working on their car this weekend?
Looking like an oil and filter change and general tidying of the engine bay and planning project: engine loom
Other than that might be doing the bottom arms too.

added a picture of the damage. as said, it looks better than it is in the picture to be honest.

cheers, once I get it cleaned up and sorted out - I'm going to look at getting the 4 branch manifold.

Will try and nudge a few people over here for this.

More to the point - where is this place? weblink isn't working.

not good, but not terrible either, could have a been a "hole" lot worse.

As i've told you time and time again you cannot rely 100% on air cooling a cav engine lol

This is the company I bought my new radiator from.

Fair price even outside of eBay.

glad to hear things are going well for you. Was wondering where you'd gotten too.

big improvement - hint - old toothbrush and alloy cleaner

New HT Leads installed today - making a huge difference.

well budget up to £200 for the rear window - try and bring the asking price down. Depending on the rest of the body work, how well the engine runs, and if the underside is strong or not. Anything from £250 - 1200 these days. Realistically you probably want to get it checked over before even discussi...

its never nice happening to cars round my way more often now

hopefully they will polish out.

Done a few bits today. Ditched the Champion leads in favour of some Bosch leads that actually fit my diz cap... £17.00 well spent if you ask me :D New lease of life in the cav :D it's great. New radiator fitted, system bled of air and new coolant pumped in. Vectra handles fitted - just the drives do...

it's a straight forward enough mod Anita, as said above.
Saying that, I still haven't gotten round to fully wiring mine up *hangs head in shame*

Glad to hear, any in progress pics.?

Thing is low mileage cav engines will either been always used from cold and be 15/20 years old. very true. It's taking a while to loosen up my 67k mk2 engine and I'm now finding problems. It's coked up, injectors are sticking, its noisey, and I don't think the oil is circulating properly.. Investig...
