71' C10's were rated at 240hp ( when new ) so should be fine
It'll be near the limit for full throttle pulls for prolonged periods but I don't think it'll be an issue as thats probably not what's it's going to be used for,
the fuel tank is behind the bench seat back and pretty much at the same...
They've done so many recoveries on this year's policy that they're trying to get you to renew with the AA instead,
or they're absolutely f**king inept
it's definitely one of those two.
They claim tacho exemption so only allowed to work within 50km of their base, so could basically move it 100km max if they collected 50km south and travelled 50km north of base
Edit: it's 100km of base, not done that stuff for a few years and my memory is getting rid of all the useless info
Standard parts are getting more expensive too, I've just paid £100 for a used plastic lower timing belt cover, air boxes seem to have tripled in value too.
As a lot of longer serving members will remember back in the day there was an issue with Mot testers incorrectly failing 172 cup models on the load compensator linkage/rod missing, and also little or no effort on the rear brakes the issue was covered in Vosa's matter of testing magazine in April...
If I was looking, I'd want it without the belts done as I'd do them myself, but I'm probably in the minority of buyers.
Out of interest what's the going rate for belts, dephaser, water pump, aux belt now ?
