aargh..I forgot about them again, Sorry Tayne, would couriering them be an option?

Will, check with the online status thingy, also if it's the Justy, I'll be in touch during the week about picking it up etc.....

2.0 Zetec silver tops are getting pretty rare, and unless it is in the scrapyard it would be a shame to 'do a Mini' style engine rape on a working Mk1 Mondy, hardly see early ones now a days, black tops are more difficult to do as a DIY on the cheap conversion The MX5 engine seems a lot of work for little gain

HB estate and a Torana?

Standard connector for such electronics, cheap as chips on tit-bay

They do, I was quoted £60 for it

Ignition barrel, or perhaps a dodgy wire from the starter to the switch or fuse box depending on how it is wired up, Cortinas are a nightmare for it in days gone bye

They are.....

/\/\What Pete said.....

Tools fall into several catagorys, I mainly use Britool, Taskmaster(old) and Smoos for my good stuff and Halfords for my 'in the van' tool kits, However all my Whitworth, imperial and AF stuff is Gedore, Elora, Bedford, Snap on and Britool...and I never have much in the way of problems with any of it, my 3/8 Britool ratchet is from the early 50's and only just starting to get a bit cranky

Sorry, I don't they are of a 2.9i

/\ he speaks in tongues.....

I still have the 70's one, currently being used by the shepherds during the lambiong Tim collected the other one.if you want it it's yours rich

Be advised, quality and ability vary greatly.....I've used a Snap-on 18v one and it is superb, I've tried some 24v ones that are shit, try and get one with at least 400Nm or they are a waste of time.

I had a DW8 in an Expert, was finer on a 50% veg for about 25,000 then the pump started to leak and it fucked up No1 injector, might be coincidence or maybe not...

I have to say if it had been manual I'd be the proud owner of this car by now...

OK, I'm being a bit thick here, but................. what date are we looking at as I see it as the 12.05 which is the chlomodelllllyyyy!!! or whatever show weekend.

OK, quick update, seems she can have a courtesy car for a few days until they decide the Rovers fate, have told them I want it back as I doubt it is much more than cosmetic damage, so in lieu of knowing whats happening I'm putting Granny_Bol's Fiesta back on the road next weekend, so I HOPE the panic is off for next week, Plan B is to put the LDV Convoy I have just acquired on the road, but it has brakes that shake more than J-Lo ass and often don't bother to work at all.... Plan C is to MOT the Cortina estate next weekend and use it, none of these are ideal as she 'needs' a modernish car as she is a social worker and there are standards that the council's expect from such workers

Cheers Guy's, Rich, sadly I don't have time to do the clutch this weekend, she needs it mobile on Monday for work, Glenn, That Ka might just be the ticket, Dave yes please mate.....in other news I have just gone and rescued a 1954 Morris Cowley for my landlord, the jammy git got it for £200 and it is solid as a solid thing.....Just needs the brakes and clutch hydraulics sorted

The other half has gone off the road in the Rover75, it's almost certainly a write off , Need to get a cheap car to keep her going as she travels 100 miles a day, I can get about £300 or so together, needs to be in the North of England or Scotland and be available this weekend. Ebay has nothing I would touch in the price zone....

Simple answer is NO, any car can have it's moment, but I personally would rather have the back step out than have the front go on a FWD any day.... especially in the snow. But perhaps thats just me.
