I've just taxed my car yesterday for the first time and it said I'm likely to get a fine, etc as the car wasn't taxed or SORN'd. I got the car in June 2013 as a bare shell with everything else for the car in boxes and have spent the last couple of years rebuilding it. Has this happened to anyone else, haven't had any letters or reminders from the DVLA. Thanks

A quick update. I torqued the bolts up, started the car and let it idle. Looked underneath to see oil pouring out from the front left corner. Time for another gasket, also is there anything else I need to check?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies, I've got a major leak from the sump gasket and it's only run for around 15 minutes. I'll torque it up to the settings on the SBD sheet to see if it will stop. Don't want to remove the engine again!

My son has a 2002 Mk4 1.4 Golf S. He needs to get standard wheels for insurance purposes as it costs an extra £800 with the R32 alloys that are currently fitted! Does anyone know what wheels/tyres were fitted to this car as standard?
Thanks

I've got a C20XE with a Manta sump and 2 cork gaskets. Does anyone know what torque settings I need for the sump bolts?
Thanks

A few of us seem to be after Manta parts! I would also be interested in anything for the C20XE engine

This show was much bigger than the one by Aberporth, it was a small show with around 50 cars.

Didn't have a camera unfortunately, but saw a Citroen DS at the local petrol station this afternoon and this evening I saw two black mk2 Escort RS2000's and a Orange mk1 Mexico in New Quay, West Wales

If my family haven't made any plans, it will be more wiring on the Manta

Bit late now, but I finished fitting the engine loom and started the C20XE in my Manta for the first time. Brakes next if I can find a internal bias pedal box for it.

My car was de-locked before I got it, I've fitted a removable steering wheel, hidden kill switch and I'm going to fit an alarm with tilt sensor. Years ago the cat 1 alarms had a siren inside the car as well as the rechargeable one under the bonnet.

I think they're the same, only difference between the gearboxes is the bellhousing

Do a bit more wiring on the Manta and see what I can do about the heating as the XE dizzy is in the way

There's an old boy who lives near me that drives a Morris Minor daily, and a couple of people who have Capri's as their daily driver.
