Been back in mine many a time. Newhaven Dieppe is a 4 hour crossing away from all the gimmgrunts and cuts a lot of kilometres off the trip and the traffiv jams around the tunnel/Dover. Last time I looked, off peak sailings one way could be had for £90 or less, tot up the fuel and tolls and for me it worked out cheaper. I like boats, I used to sail across the channel in my little boat, so four hours and a not too bad dinner en-route suited me.
I had a look this morning after reading your post. Around £80 and if it saves fuel and tolls then that is the solution.
Thanks again for your suggestion Keith. :D
 
Depends my 4.6 in stock form could pull spectacular 4 wheel drifts with stock power ;)

P38 axles are big units and should handle it..

Yes, petrol and diesel all have heavy duty stuff compared to the 'fender.

@Salisbury Nick I did! The additional is a mishimoto fan. Around 87mm thick and 460cm big. It cable tied through the rad fins with washers to share the load over the vains. It's done 1.5yrs so far and cools the rad in less than 30 secs along with the two air con fans. :cool:

Drove her to Englandshire, and she is not happy about it. I need the o/s/f lower ball joint replacing :(
It's not major but only half way to London, then have the journey home, at some point.

Anyone recommend a trustworthy mechanic, near Heathrow? @Dopey ?

So it down to whether you want to see Dopey's mint Series or Brian's lovely mk1 Cortina!
 
@Dopey , @brianp38dse thanks guys. However, my reason for travel has now left the building. So I am going to about turn and head back to Scotland. I will just go straight to the amazing folks who are Gibsons and put her in their care.
Thank you for your offers.
Chertsey might have been fun. Last time I went their I came home with 2 GSDs ;)
