I'm having to clear down the fleet so my daily is on the way out. 1996 Rover 216Si British Racing Green MOT April 2012 SORN'd 96750 miles MGZR 17" rims Tinted wing repeaters Kenwood CD radio Tow bar Rear spring assist
Important bit; thanks to a complete numpty of an MOT tester the engine got cooked and the headgasket went. The engine has been rebuilt with skimmed head, MLS gasket set, new bolts, new water pump, new timing belt, sump de-crapped, new seals, coolant and oil filter/oil. Its also got a new rad, the aircon version so its bigger. So, you will be getting a good, strong engine on a reasonable body for cheap autumn/winter mileage. Its not spotless, the drivers front wing has had a knock and been replaced (OK, I backed the Ital into it.....) and there are some rust spots starting to form. Still worth the £350, though. PM me. (I'll try and get some pics up later)

One of these little beasties caught my eye yesterday up for £350 in Dereham. Whats the tale of the tape? Are they any good for a cheap hooning car or leave it?

Not a lot has happened recently thanks to work commitments with the restoration team, but the old thing did throw her teddies out the other weekend with an annoying electrical fault that shut the engine down when trying to take power, but in one direction only. Its intermittent as well, just to make life interesting, so it looks like I'll have my work cut out to sort it out. Let you know what happens....

I've shoved it in all my cars as an insurance (two K series and an O series) and no probs yet. Mind you, if it will seal the cylinder liner gaskets on an English Electric 12CSVT diesel engine, it'll do anything..... ;D

if the filters are centrifugal ones they are serviced by stripping and cleaning them not replacing but am not sure if they are used on these as the ones I was involved with were usually on marine diesels, about 2 foot high and 18 inch diameter www.mann-hummel.com/mhuk/index.html?iKeys=5.1.1689.0.0ttfn glenn Nothing that technical, just replaceable cartridges about 18" high x 6" dia, four of 'em. Cor, Mann-Hummel, that brings back memories.......

Finally got the old girl working over the last weekend; not perfect but we're getting there. Oil change wasn't too bad, only 100 gallons used and had to buy a new suction/delivery pump, all in all we got change from £1000...... ;D Rad fan played up but nowt a large lump hammer and screwdriver wouldn't cure (and it did). Short movie (not by me, I was in the cab), the beast appears 1:23 onwards.... The local "Hells Bumblebees" providing a 'soundtrack'......

Like many on here I never actually met him in person, but even so I feel at a loss for words reading about what happened. Once in a while someones real character shines through on a web forum, and his certainly did. My thoughts are with his family, and to the many friends he had here.

Lovely. If you haven't yet seen the vid of Tony Pond taking one of these around the Isle of Man at 100mph, seek it out. It's why I'd really like one - especially if it was as tidy as yours! This one.....
