Just to let you know, my recent health problem seems to be resolved for time being and I am eating food again....a LOT of food (the 3 stones I lost wont be long in going back on )
Anyway, been fiddling with car getting it all sorted. Manifold etc all fitted/ fixed now, bits and bobs fixed inside (volt meter stopped working but traced a dodgy wire, starter motor illumination ..same, ), and more importantly fixed the heater blower direction thinking..since I got it it has only been able to go to window or face, not floor, even than it was not very good....fixed it at weekend...turned out it was the dial....someone has removed it in the past but put it back on the wrong "teeth" in the cog, so I simply put it in the right way and I have full control..... and it seems to blow stronger too. Also fixed temperature dials...wee bit of tape on the cable under the clips stops clip slipping so can now get hot and cold!
AND finally after 10 years of ownership suffered the heater resistor problem for first time, lost 1 and 2....got replacements off ebay and soldered on, so all heating system now working fine.
Since I replaced the thermostat housing the other month I have not lost a single drop of coolant!!!!
All is good.....(touch wood)
So i did something I have been wanting to do since I was about 4 years old....( I dont care, I am happy, and feel 20 years younger lol)
CHAVtastic!!!!!!

Glad to hear you're fully recovered, and the car is too by the sound of things.

:bust: That looks very ... interesting, you have got to make a recording and post it on here. Does it have a pull cord stretching across at roof level front to rear :yesnod:
