I’ve had a few glasses of wine tonight and I’m high on lemsip…..

That looks saveable.

Nobody wants  another CF back on the road, it is a good reason to buy a Ford Transit.

Who are you, and what have you done with @Six-cylinder?

[richardmorris]

A CF in the field is worth two transits in the bush.

When @ianbmw sobers up he tell how bad CF's are!

[High Jetter]

Yours needs saving tho. Sorry, SWMBO's CF needs TLC. Local deliveries only, to start.

Such negativity……completely correct and factual in everything you say……but so negative.

If the custodian of the Fuel pump wants to drain if from its diesel bath, we can reinstall it and see if that has brought it back into life before doing anything else.

I suspect any sober assessment will render that unviable for restoration, but if it started and move, it could move stuff around the field.

 

Assuming my addiction to lemsip has worn off by the weekend, we need to take another gander at that Carlton and put together a plan of attack……bring back the GL…….Bring back the GL…….being back the GL….i hear the AS community chant

You have already pushed me into driving a Carlton 2.0i as my go to car, now you want to downgrade me to a 1.8i!

It was not your Cavalier CDi I popped into a ditch  30+ years ago and lost my freedom to choose my own company car. So in 1993 I ended up with a brand new Carlton 2.0i Club estate in Satin red, that was my boss's doing with the words "I think you will be safer in this!"

So , set out a plan of attack for the GL, sling the carb back on the Royale and see what it does……THEN look at the CF?

Yes I need an upgrade to a Royale then all those other middle managers will know how successful I am!

fix nice cars only

Thing is, I used to drive that Royale and like the Carlton’s, I feel a little sorry for it.

It is also, 6 cylinder, RWD and MOT and Tax exempt……so it’s time is now!

But I think a day of planning is required to establish what order things need to be done. If the GL needs major engine surgery, then I’m inclined ti focus on the Royale until the weather warms up/ I have source in my garage
