Ha long story. Yes I am but I'm over here for the next month and brought the car over too.

Hi all, Does anyone in Belfast area or wider know a garage/mechanic that could do a bit of work for me on my 172 cup please? I am in need of changing a starter motor, and could maybe do with looking at a dephaser cambelt change to keep her sweet! Thanks

Agreed that engine bay looks tidy and the yellow paint looks great. I even remember the mansell colours you're talking about!

That looks really good. Much better than it was.

didn't take you long to decide to do them fella! Fair play, looking good, when I did mine I remember when you do the black paint to redo every 15-20 minutes when it's still tacky-ish. Good luck, I'll have to see the finished product in the flesh.

Ok gotcha. Thanks chaps.

Thanks Dan, why do you need to drain the tank, fire hazard, or another reason?

Just to confirm, I mean the black plastic surroundING the sender unit and not the cover under the seat. I have that one off, and can see the fuel sender unit, but just can't work off the black surround.
