Silver wheels look pony on a RB
I'd also be getting the belts re done. Nothing to do with suck ups, ask budgie/sir dave, they make quite a good living off cars from the NW ;)
Re: 197 Pro's and Con's
Never!! ;)

I do have an old lead off a US robotics Modem, but having to run it through a gender bender, and I cant get it to work. I need 02 (TxD),03 (RxD),04 (RTS),05 (CTS),07 (GDN) which bell out correctly at each end, and are a common connection. These the...
Where can I get a 25 pin D female plug that I can wire/solder myself?
Need to make a lead for a udl of alarm panels. Tried egay and the like, but can only find converters and the like?

You are getting jip from me, on both sites ;)
they are too nice (re ghey) over on 197.net. I'm surprised they haven't edited my posts yet, they usually do :)
Yeah the base on the roof. I thought it might be an earthing issue, so cleaned up where it clamps to the body shell underneath the headlining, wasn't that, so cleaned up the threads, that didn't work either. New base, bingo, ace reception!
