Mole grips will usually get those collets to move, just use them on alternate sides a little bit at a time.

I take it you have tried the inertia cut-off switch? Sounds like a classic case to me: hit bump engine stops!! Regards Pete.

I've just re-read the magazine article and it seem that they weren't aware of your car. They thought the series ended at EV 73 AA. Regards Pete.

Mine was EV 71 AA, cast around the same time. I've owned it about 4+ years. It wa featured in the Feb '03 edition of LRM along with N359 NBV (EV 70 AA) They had also tracked down EV 72 AA which was for sale at a Hereford Garage but had lost track of yours. There were only four in this batch so...

If only I could get the assault platform for it, but they're rarer than hens teeth and mega-bucks new, even if they'll sell one to you. For that you need to have friends in very high places. I haven't!!

I forgot to say, pics are here: View Photo

You can make that two then! I've only ever seen one more on a 'P' plate, that was a blue SE, broken down on the M40! Regards Pete. Ex 22SAS 3.9 Vogue SE '95
