Good luck with the servicing Jim, a tip... don't be too brutal when changing the fuel filter. Old fuel hoses are prone to cracking or splitting when disturbed and I don't have any spare. Someone took my last lot for some 2.7 conversion :lol:

I can't be arsed to wash mine, it's filthy and I don't have any dash in it at the moment. It's gonna be some mentalist hard work to get it ready.

I know what you mean about bloody rain! I was so close to getting my gearbox back in after a week of removing old gear box and good one from my breaker... just about to lift and push onto the splines... HEAVENS opened... stopped play now until monday when im not working.. dam weather... it tricks you with nice warm weather and sun.. then when your not looking and under the car the clouds rush in and let you have it.

oh well.. bring on monday and it better be nice weather! hehe
