for a short time im making a little room at the barn as im up there again with jeff to view his turbo to see how bad the rust is...i have to think very wishly on his turbo as im still viewing the photo's have of the rot,is still looks to as shed lots of rot...i've did few welding job's for jeff but this may be over my head but will see.....

ray i have will quite a few photo's of the VP for you all inside and round it,just brought new oil/o'filter/plugs/atf/dot5/anti-freeze/HT leads.....so im ready for it to get serviced....i have new rear shoe's/front pads/flexy pipe's rear&front/new starter motor and few other bit's to find yet....i'll wait till its on my drive befor the drivers seat comes out for the repair and may be other stuff to do/replace....

Ray, it was in Harrogate.

[maestego]

very happy with it

well just got back from picking it up and drop it off at mal's barn,i've put £20 as it was very low and drained about 1/2gallon out from the fuel rail so it has clean fresh fuel...took out all the plugs check the plugs they are ok...
i put my spare diesel battery on and my bmw with jump leads hooted up ready...
check the cap that not so good so changed that with a spare+cleaned the rotor arm...check the spark with all plugs out has great spark...
put 2 plugs in so 2 where out and turned the key it tryed to start so i put one more plug in so it had 3 in so turn the key and it started on 3 pots....
so i put the 4th plug in and turned the key and it was running on tick over for about 30mins till it got hot and took it for spin down the lane and found it has a flat spot at 4000rpm and die's when i put foot to floor...
so will have to see wots wrong with throttle bodie that just may needs a good clean out...
but its running and has a blow on the middle of the exhurst some where(will be a quick fix that)
here's few more pic's and more on its was soon as the upload has finished as i have a vid done aswell...
auto gearbox is brill aswell smooth change..
brake's need doing allround and tyre's needed
