And, just for the benefit of all concerned, I have been aware of this car but Pete was in there first and we even talked about its merits before he went for it.


Should have read...........but it didnt have camcover oil leaks so I decided not to bid....I have my reputation to consider.

General Discussion Area / Matchless Project 2 arrives
« on: 14 September 2006, 09:42:02 »
Project 1 was a N reg Elite Estate, 63000 miles, full main dealer 'care', original cambelt etc but minus teeth on cambelt and 16 bent valves. Has been in use now since February and just needs some minor cosmetics to finish it...if I had the time.

Project 2 was seen on ebay, Dec '98 CDX estate, 54000 miles, looked perfect but had 'diesel like noises' from engine. No Bids????
Did a deal and collected it last night, it is one owner and looks immaculate.
Came with CCRT700, Vx roof rack, Vx boot liner, Vx steering wheel lock (it did live in Liverpool), 5 alloys and a Haynes book of lies. I need to have a better look at it but cant believe my luck, and I got there before McB.

Downside? drivers seat is stuck (or cant cope with MarkDTM's weight  ;D) one door check strap is detached and the noises sound like a failed cambelt tensioner.

Only problem is that its 3rd in line behind Allenm's heads, and an over-ambitious patio design, but im sure a new cambelt kit can be snook onto it without 'er_in_doors finding out, reconnect the propshaft then see how it goes.

BoBo needs some T-cut! ;D

I've got a small dent in the fridge. Does that count?

Do dents go off if you dont keep them in the fridge?

GeffD 's away so isnt around to contradict me.....find another pair of heads, clean them up then get them into a nice warm kitchen to lap the valves, replace the stem seals and fit manifolds before venturing out to swap them over.
The valve guides will be cracked, Geff says he has never had problems with this but the thought that a piece of guide could move and jam a valve open isnt acceptable to me.

Got the chip but there has been too much other stuff happening to play with cars.
Was intending to do a proper before / after test on it

General Discussion Area / M-Tek performance chips on offer
« on: 10 August 2006, 11:44:47 »
Anybody else want a chip at a reduced price? Ive decided to go for one based on the reported improvement in low down torque which should help when towing and (hopefully) an improvement in mpg on the daily commute. Top-end performance is usually limited by unpleasant noises from area of the passenger seat but any improvement here would be interesting
Got to act quickly, the offer runs out about now.
