Ain't that the reason we can't stop working on them?

I now have the press at home with me so give me a shout when you get the arms off.
I'll let him know although I think he's working in London this week so doubt much will happen for a couple of weeks.

No problem the kit is here so when ever, when i did mine i left the wheels on still touching the ground and did one at a time to stop having problems with alignment.
Good tip. They're up in the air at the moment as the front is on axle stands.

Fired him up and moved the Ford out of the way to give the suspension time to pump up. Drove him to the brother in law's, picked up some stuff, then shopped and fuelled on the way home. Pretty happy with just under 18mpg, considering quite a bit of idling and a 140 mile motorway trip when the brakes were dragging slightly.
The patched middle silencer makes him much quieter now. As do the new eas compressor mounts.
Now parked backwards on the drive to try and get the front airbags changed as soon as we can.

My nearest petrol station is now 188.9 i think I'm glad my p38 is broked
Yeah, painful filling up but what else can you do? A new car costs a smeggin fortune and they go wrong as often as ours.
They do, i think i have to draw the line at spending out more on a single fix than the car will ever be worth
Who are you fooling? You're talking to a bunch of crack-heads about giving up crack and maybe doing some E. You know it ain't gonna happen.
Effing coolant leak, bloody fat cow

Scrap is very high at the moment, shame you can't break it for parts, you'd make a heap more than weighing the complete car in.
If you do decide to weigh it in there could be a few bits that you could remove that wouldn't effect scrap value which you could easily sell on?.
Abs ecu, becm, etc. My mate has the same trim colour I think, he may be interested in swopping bits of plastic or something.
His switch pack is dead too, just remembered.
Something to consider?

There are some bits I might be interested in too if you go down that route...
You know the prices on here: Midget Gems ....
I did see an advert for a website that seemed to be a classics version of WeBuyAnyCar but it said it would also consider cars from the 80s and 90s. Might be worth a look?

My mates has the sunroof which works fine ,was more thinking of the switch pack for his.it does, doesnt leak either
He's got a cracked binnacle and probably other stuff which he may be interested in, swop bits over so yours looks complete, max scrap value for you plus a bit more for the good bits swopped out.
Your nano is worth a good bit too
