'T' BRG Fastback, A607

Spotted a BRG Fastback this morning on the way to work, travelling towards Melton Mowbray on the A607. Seemed in decent condition, but the rear bumper was low on the drivers side though. I could just make out that it used to have the '800' badge on at some point, but was now removed, so not sure wha...

Sounds like you would be cheaper with a new car Dave. ... I think you've hit the nail on the head there!! I think I've bought a right lemon! But it's running and seems OK'ish, although it still needs work, which is the annoying part as I'm trying to put all of my spare cash into getting my 300ZX ba...

Well she seems improved in every little way that I do something else, but everytime I fix one thing I find another that wants sorting. :cry: First the fix... Got hold of used Coil Pack off eBay, complete with a set of leads on it, so fitted that to try and stop this bad running following a good 'wel...

I love them, but as I have a Vitesse I really should go for the 17's that should actually be on mine anyway. Now if mine was a Sterling and had my current 7 spokes on then I'd of jumped at the chance :D

Grantham, Lincolnshire!! ;) If he was a dealer I'd go and have a look, just to find out what the hell he's on about, but as he's not I'll stay well clear as he sounds 'Odd!' :shock: It does look like a translation from another language, which around here could be Lithuanian, Polish or something simi...

Coil Pack reqd **NOW SORTED**

NO LONGER REQUIRED, THANK YOU.

As title, I'm after a Coil Pack (for a 1998 820 Vitesse turbo), that is known to be in good working order, also with one of the bolts & nuts as one of mine is missing!

TIA

This Weekends Work, Part 1

Well, as the weather was so good yesterday so I decided to strip the interior out and 'Mop' up what water is still in there. Anyway, my partner, Karen, let me use her driveway so I drove over to her place and started stripping it all out.... First thing was the drivers seat, first bolt fine, second ...

Can't you just dry it out? Well that is the obvious answer, but I read that it could take some time to do that, so thought it would be quicker to just replace them. With the weather being so good this weekend I'm going to take it apart and see wbat it's like. I'll also be trying the rolling pin tri...
