Final nail in the coffin Is it just the turbo unit or is it the engine fella?

The MK1 is more of a shed than they Turbo but at least its running still.

I need money, cant be bothered to spend loads on repairs. Already got a £500 bill and still bit more to do, maybe I should carry on till its all fixed. Get paid soon. Hmmm

How much world parts come to though, perhaps it will be cheaper to cut your losses sell up and buy another tub?

Well, my input shaft decided to part company with the gearbox on sunday!

hopefully i'll have things fixed by the 3rd, new clutch, driveshaft, gear linkages, full fluid change.

ScoobyDoo69 · 24 Aug 2005 at 14:10

mines fully reliable and coming

is there any sort of cross country run after?

thebrasso · 24 Aug 2005 at 14:34

I'm still on for this

. I've had an expensive month this month getting work done on my car...but at least I know its mechanically sound now. Should be a good day, I just hope it doesn't rain!

FakeSnake · 24 Aug 2005 at 15:19

I hope it does not rain as well, or even forecast rain!! Otherwise I am not coming in the cobra. No roof and rain makes Fakey a wet chap. Its no fun in the rain at all.
September is going to be an expensive month for me as well, but hey ho. I stilll have to sort a few things out on the cobra as well... time is running out!

[TW]Fox · 24 Aug 2005 at 15:30

Forcast for Tewkesbury, 3rd September:

Morning: 20c, 66% cloud, 0mm rain
Afternoon: 21c, 25% cloud, 0mm rain

Siliconslave · 24 Aug 2005 at 15:33

couldn't you just bring an umbrella?

L0rdMike · 24 Aug 2005 at 15:52

Got my MK2 back it runs but been fixing a lot of other things and boosting is still off.

If I bring my Turbo I know it will be low on bhp and some1 else is going to take one so I think the MK1 ear bleeder needs a run.

My MK1 has been a busy car. Done 600 miles in 4 days. :eek:

Thats only about 100 miles more than I do full stop.

I wish that was me being "busy" driving.
