Nope the 2.8 :| At least I know its had a good flush of the fluid.


If its the same design and layout as the 2.4 return pipe they are no longer available new. Mine burst and the garage replaced with fuel line from the metal pipe onwards, has been fine since.

Freed up sticking rear caliper...couldn't be bothered to sort handbrake today..maybe tomorrow? got to leave myself afew fronty jobs as I'm off work for a couple of days.

oh....Insured her for another year £256 fully comp with projected 2'' bodylift via Sureterm insurance (thats about £500 cheaper than my renewal quote from kwikfit-up)

Happy days...nearly time for a :drink: in celebration,and Fulham's potential europa league win (not a fulham fan, but they aren't manc united or everton so they get my support for a night)
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes

Well i put mine in for the dreaded MOT on monday and it failed miserably on welding. The rear wheel arches where the rollbar is bolted has rotted. Today i have started to strip it out ready to start fabricating my new arches. Would like to say thanks to Mark (Frontycustoms) for his tips when i phoned him this morning realy helpfull. Will try an put some piccies on during the repair. :cry: :cry: :cry:
