Austin Metro 1.3L Clubman Automatic £2000 MOT due July 2024 40,000ish Miles Some surface rust Had new rear brakes and master cylinder, new fuel pump, oil change. The fuel guage doesn't work and it's still on the random size metric tyres, the newest of which is 18 years old. I'd like £2000 for it. Can be viewed in Gillingham Kent, or High Halstow, near Rochester, Kent.

This week has been spent cruising around Norfolk at 5 MPH, the times we have been off the boat I have seen these so far Austin A35 in Stalham A Volvo 440 in Wroxham, I thought it was abandoned as it's parked in some curse word but is MOT'd A late-ish Sierra estate on Great Yarmouth yacht station, I assume it was one of the staffs, I liked it.

Got in my (not very retro) Rover 75 to go to work this morning and noticed it was on this, not a milestone, but made me smile nonetheless.

I picked up a 52 plate estate top spec connoisseur with the BMW M47r 2.0 diesel a couple of months ago for just over £700 with a years MOT. It's on 160,000 miles, still goes well and is a nice place to be can feel a bit claustrophobic, all the pillars are quite chunky, but it is a well put together car. As said, just check under the wipers that the plenum drains are clear otherwise the ECU will sit in a few inches of water when it rains.

I know nothing about Mustangs, but is that broken down one some kind of bodykit? It has a 2009 reg ,MD09 OAC but looks like a car from 50 years previous.

some fairly modern french stuff is 5x108, not sure there's a demand for slotmags on a 3008 or C3 though!

Was at Brands Hatch today for some of the masters historic festival, and this thing stood out as the coolest (to me) vehicle there: Looked like they were using it to run from the paddock to the pit.

Not exactly the same, the indicators are in the bumper, but the middle is similar, if you squint, and spray brake fluid in your eyes, and maybe clean them out with some wire wool. *Edit* I see someone's suggested BMW already.

1990 Metro master cylinder gezzard

I've been trying to find a new master cylinder for my Metro, but all the ones I find seem different.
A Few pictures A picture of the one I bought and the one that's on there, however, the old one has that big bit, Pressure reducing valve? poking out with quite a large thread, although there's a smaller thread on the brake pipe. And the new one has a smaller threaded aperture, it's make is TRW part no. PMF389 This is the code on the old one 71 LB06BZ043AD Not really sure what I'm asking, but any useful input appreciated. I've found plenty without that valve on the side, but I'm not sure if it's required. Ta.

This bad boy is on my Allegro. I'd guess you can make them yourself with a snooker ball drilled and a helicoil. I know it's upside down.

Just a heads up if anyone is interested, I was looking to see when the car shows in the south east start, and this popped up as this weekend.
Last time I went it was £3 to take my car in, just turn up. The airfield is usually active with people parachuting, and Sptifire flights.

Austin Allegro steels are 13" 4x114.3, I've never measured the centrebore or offset on mine though.
