I'll be there, I'll rope a few of my loyal followers (like I have any) in. I should be able to drag Willie, Steve Murr and Adam along :)

Right, I'm not sure why kerry has said about keeping the centre console gear stick bit, you'd be mental too, and it should just be a straight swap... not to mention the ph1 one wouldn't meet the bottom of the dash properly. When I saw the link you sent me, I thought it was a guide, nearly...

You have numbers and you haven't just given them a call? Thing is, unless the last owner was a bit odd, why wouldn't he keep a log of the belt change date? Sounds silly but have you checked in the service book. Mine was written in pen ontop of a normal service "Cambelt included" or whatever...

If I buy one Fred, I'll be bringing it to you then, I expect all servicing to be lower than your vee prices ;)

It's not the mileage that would worry me, it's the age. Every 5 years is it not?

Superb! Got to love super car's Maybe owning them isn't as expensive as people like to make out, it's just none of the owners have a clue/the balls to get a part not from a dealer? (I wish)

Yeah you did that to me with the 172, well it was a bit different, more like: "here's the keys, see ya in a bit.."

Exactly what I intend to do.

Get the bilberry out the girlsname. ;)

+1, but seriously a RB drove past me today in Sidcup, the colour is epic, and yours doesn't look so bad either ;)

Aw look at you, all proud! ;)

We use a "mouse" too, but seeing as there's isn't a likeness between it and anything on a type writer, I don't imagine you know what that does.

Sad to see a few scrapes but it looks like a good day. Have it looking ship shape again soon eh John? Saxo bits are cheap anyway, and after all, it's why you buy a cheap track car, right?

For once I wasn't looking for those. Your point is fair. Wing does look a bit more off than usual, but tbh, with them being plastic, it takes so little for the car to require a replacement, they can crack so easily.

Getting old Tony? ;)

Car looks bloody beautiful. Love these titanium ph2's (gives me more chance of finding parts if I need them ;)) Wings are always slightly off Steve, to do with the fact they're plastic, some colours/random car's show it worse than others. P.s my car needs some winter protection and you owe me...

£100.00 will get you new rear discs with the bearing already pressed in, new pads and a new ABS ring (which you don't need so I assume you can just remove it). Link: http://www.northwestperformance.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=6_7_86_1&products_id=116&osCsid=77snpmddjnjjgu563neefugc94

From what I've heard.... Doing a bearing is often more effort than it's worth, unless you're doing it yourself and have the correct tools/equipment. I woulnd't change one disc at a time either really, for the price of the "kit" I'd just refresh the rear brakes for £100 you can't go wrong...

I didn't go for massively expensive, largely because after talking to Jord at FCS, he's never run expensive oil in his mk1, that takes an absolute battering, so I'm just running fully synth 5w40 and will change it every 6k

Ho sheet. It's really easy to empty out, but will be messy. Just open the correct butterfly, and let it flow out. when it pretty much completely stopped, screw it back on.

Who did the welding mate? Maybe I'll just pay for someone to fit them... lol! Make sure you change the pollen filter, it makes such a difference to how sitting in the car "feels" if it hasn't been done in ages.

I knew you'd be all over this thread, lol ;) My ph1 bumper is making a comeback, it's true what he says.

Fine, fine.

Sounds good, sorry man I only read the bullet points type things... lol! How are the wishbone bushes??? I need them I think...

Awesome, I'd love a crack in one, see what all the fuss is about. But sod rocking about in a 50k one, I can think of more than 50,000 thing's I'd rather have for that money!!!

100£ for discs and pads from NWP. I'll be buying these next month.

Hopefully you'll find it as fun, if not better than other places. Welcome to the club, and congrats? on paying up ;)

Unsociable farmer! What if I wanted to write you a sexual poem?

Engine mounts are done? I'd add GB oil to your list, can never hurt, and is often missed out. Pollen filter, get things smelling a bit nicer inside.

There is nothing wrong with the 1.2 8v!! Excellent little car!
