Just testing the water here,i have the above going for an MOT on tuesday,it runs well enough,good oil pressure,no head gasket problems,body is in need of some tlc but pretty solid overall
if it fails,i have absolutley no interest in reparing it so would aim to sell it off.
anyone remotley interested,make good sumer ragtop, midi doner, or door stop, not so good as a ram raider .

Let me know if you do decide to sell

Where are you located by the way?

sunny north Somerset,near Bristol,MOT is tuesday,she wants to keep it but i am the mug that is expected to fix it,2001 with around 85,000 miles btw.

Let me know how it goes

failed on one wheel bearing and a pin hole in the sill,it will live to fight another day,dont know if that is a good or a bad thing
