Haha, yep really quickly! That's the joy of purchasing over the net I guess. Based on trust and se people just aren't trustworthy. Sucks for the honest lot
Apart from read this thread ;)
I've had a similar thing with a turbo a few months back...."perfect condition" apart from the turbo being shot. PayPal actually was on the side of the buyer, being myself :) Just do it above board mate, you'll be fine. They deal with this type of thing day in, day...
Sounds like you've already made you mind up tbh bud. There's nothing wrong with anti freeze from Halfords/GSF/Euro car parts. They've sold millions of gallons of the stuff so why worry? No one else seems to.
Can someone shed some light I what I need to fit some race seats? I've never fitted bucket seats before so didn't know if you can use the subframes off the seats already in the car. If not, I've seen hundreds of seat mounts and I'm not entirely sure which is the best way to go. My bucket seats...
Piece of MDF cut to the shape of the rear, stick a picture of an engine on it, then thieves will think it's a rear engined clio, because they're stooppid and just walk on by :)
Love the Phase 1 172, can't wait to see it cleaned up. We need to see the other cars too. I,m an old ERST owner. I had 4 of them and still quite big into the performance fords. Are you going to be changing that exhaust? Reminds me of the old Remus systems. On a positive note, if you change it...
How come the people getting on their high horses about speeding, drive fast cars? I've got a 200 and I didn't buy it poodle around. I bought because it has some back bone. I wouldn't boot it around town at midday but at midnight down the motorway and I'm feeling flush with some fuel money...
Love these cars.....I owned 4 and two of them I rebuilt. The last one I had was a modified show car, that was stolen so ended the love of owning one. I've got a part flocked dash that's been sitting at work for about 6 years if your brother is interested.
If it was in town, go back and see if anyone around has CCTV up. Maybe worth a try. May not have been vandalism. Drunk students not being able to handle their beer maybe. Fighting next to the car or falling over. Might make you feel beeter if you see someone hammered, trip, and go face first...
Take the hub off and have a look. Could be leaky cylinder, naff brake shoes or just need adjusting. No point adjusting the one near the handbrake. It's on an equaliser plate, which if that was loose, both rear brakes would be low on effort.
The flutter is from the K&N....I used to get it on the Volvo

Refit the old airbox and it should disappear. Although I wonder if the old owner has blanked off the diverter valve and thats what your hose is supposed to be...
We have bought a 1.6 16v for Sophies first track car. It's a PH1 mk2.....T plate (looks like the PH1 172, not the Williams) I'm trying to get some powerflex bushes for it, but I don't know which ones to get. Underneath the body panels, what is it? Is it similar gear to the williams shape or...
