Original London plate on that. Just needs some Microcell seats and less anodised/braided hose under the bonnet. 8-)

PAS pump seals
Aircon pump has seized ( Petrol pump will not fit) but heating system still works
Replace a faulty rear shock (have replacement)

I LUV 2 WELD IT WELD IT

I'm going to make a suggestion, how about moving the Ebay treasures thread to the main forum? It might help to maintain a bit of 'traffic' in there. Feel free to tell me to take my idea and 'ram it' of course

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ROAD AND CAR JUST STOPPED,
IT WOULD STILL TURN OVER AND SOUNDED NORMAL, JUST WOULD NOT FIRE.

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE ECU OR A BROKEN WIRE IN LOOM.

I THEN TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS INJECTOR PRESSURE PROBLEMS,

I THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DIESEL GARAGE AND THEY SAID ITS A PUMP PROBLEM


Brilliant innit, I bey they would all have been happy to take hundreds of pounds off you to diagnose it by trial and error.
