Trying to get mine booked in this week for both of these

 

[Danny]

I need to work out how to use these guages properly.. think having a flat surface is the key....

Lucky you noticed those bolts were loose before you set off on your trip.

I had the t series engine in my 220 coupe turbo and had to replace the alternator bolts more than once.

I told him to bang a wedge of wood in there & put a tie wrap round it

Well I appear to not be doing much but I have been quite busy and well today I finally got the V5 back with the engine change finalised... took 3 months of form filling but web are all good now

Well done Danny for sticking with it, it's on my job's to do list, I've tried once & failed, want to have another go & do it again, but last time I tried it took so long I wanted it back on the road before they completed it which screwed it all up.

took about 3 months I recon the first one I sent in they returned then I needed letters to say it was fitted to standard... all I am going to say on that front

£235 a year road tax though :-\

 

[250buggys]

Danny, how much was the road tax before?

 

[Danny]

Danny, how much was the road tax before?

no idea.... £110 I think...

 

[Phaeton]

It's £145 now

 

[Danny]

It's £145 now

lol I just always paid it and never paid any attention

 

[250buggys]

What happened to your elec, can you get it back?

 

[Danny]

the garage we are renting use to get it from a property accross the way but she is renovating the whole block and the dummy electrician ripped it out :-( Proper pain in the ass that

 

[250buggys]

That's bad news about the power, hope it gets sorted soon.

What shocks did you get, were they just standard classic mini or uprated?

 

[Danny]

I took the gaz shocks off as they were quite bulky and the springs were rubbing... I ave now gone for cheap ones They only last a couple of years so cheap is not always bad

I may get electric next week if I can break in to the building and rewire it Not even joking

 

[Phaeton]

Should have cut the upper/outer shields off that stops them rubbing
