I can't even find the starter motor tbh, someone told me to remove the battery and airbox to gain access, but it's not under there, as far as I know it's under the exhaust manifold.

Cheers mate I appreciate it, you're a good bloke.

That is exactly what i'm after, my favourite shape with some decent mods, I want it now!!! Sadly it'll be March by the time i've got the money, i've a few photo jobs lined that should get me back on track with saving.

No one will accept magic beans, so until i've saved up all the money i'll have to stick with my broken Clio. If the f*cking thing hadn't broken down so much last year i'd have one by now. :dapprove:

How reliable are the classic wagons? I don't want to swap one unreliable car or another. This is my favourite shaped wagon, but good ones are the same price as old STi Wagons. I just want one that's comfortable, reliable, and is capable of doing a journey of a few hundred miles with ease...

Why do all the good cars come up or sale when I don't have the money? :dapprove: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C352735

Mk1 or Mk2 Cortina with a monster V8 in it.

Indeed, this place has saved me a fortune over the years, plus i've met some seriously cool people. Although i've now had my fill of Clios, time to scratch my Impreza itch I think.

Cheers for that, i'll have a look when i'm in a better mood and it's not pissing it down, i'll probably find out it's a lose connection or dirty spade connector. This car's getting retired as soon as I can afford a new dog carrier, it can live out it's days on track, as it's a pain in the arse...

That would be cool mate, i'll pay for postage and all that, I just have to figure out how to replace it myself, as i've no money until I get back behind the camera. Bloody cars!

Haven't tried bump starting it, once the car's warmed up it'll start every time. The battery's only a year and a bit old, plus all the electrics work fine, i'm almost convinced it's the starter, I just thought i'd post a vid for confirmation.

For quite a few months it's had starting issues, it normally starts after a few go's, but over the past few days it's just not having it, I think the starter motors knackered and has finally given up...

A boiled sweet under the rear seats and a massive long screwdriver in the engine bay, it was jammed up next to the battery, looked like part of the car until jiggled it and it came out.

The links are showing as private, what are the vids called? If I can find them i'll embed them for you.

Nope they don't work.

Ahh right'o. :D

Where are the videos then?

Have a chat with G172 in the traders section, he sells Brembo's at a decent price and once ordered they show up almost instantly.

No chance of me getting my hands on a spare grand or two in the next 3 days. :dapprove: I think it looks f*cking amazing, proper rat look.

I'd drive it as it is, still looks cool. I know sod all about welding or chassis repairs though, is this a good buy or not...
