Oh trust me Im very used to looking at the long term I had an old Porsche that took me 4 years just to get working and £9000 to get back on the road lol. Then I sold it for £2000............

Yeah best not to ask.

My main issues right now is the still present sqeek especially when it warms up and the noise vanishes when brakes are applied and the other issue is coolant leaking still after p-gasket changed and new water pump and belt kit done. Those two I can cope with most things but I always want the mechanical side of things done quickly body, rust and little bits like window regulator not working I can live with or sort out.

Can I ask if you managed to track down the squeak? It sounds like something mine does. Usually starts about 7 or 8 miles from home and seems to be related to steering wheel position, it goes when the brakes are applied. I assumed that it was a front wheel bearing but when I looked they are both like new. The hubs dont get hot and there is no play in the wheel. Bloody annoying I am waiting for it to develop (been waiting for around 600 miles) but, so far, no luck. Mine also gets comment like "very tidy for its age" but just has a few niggling issues (stalling when cold another one :mad2

Guess not! Gonna grease UJ's and renew swivel grease tomorrow hopefully get some result. Spose a new thread on the subject may be helpful? As opposed to current hijack (waits for tumbleweed to blow by). Just thought maybe someone would have some experience to impart .
