i could do that... but i am on my laptop. My PC is still at 'work' - my laptop does't have a serial port!

Ah, EPC3 overcomes that problem - I'm surprised they haven't sent you the updated version yet, seeing as they automatically post out new versions. Or did you let you subscription lapse?

[TheBoy]

Looks like 24416110 but would need you to check if it is this gasket (difficult to work out exactly from diagram)

[tunnie]

cheers for that, think my updated version has got lost in the post

I feel bad now suggesting you bought this. I will offer to do the decent thing and buy the project car off you - at my price of course!

Don't think £1.50 would cover my costs!  

Seriously though it is a bit shabby, and a lot more work than the first one. But could not have known all its problems before seeing it.

I doubt i will make a loss on it, my costs have been very low. It even had half a tank of fuel in it when i bought it!

Cause its Sept 1st & Reg change i think the DVLA are busy, but as soon as i get the Log Book its going on AT...

However the gearbox syncromesh is buggered as well i think, change gear at high revs in 2nd and the car lerchs forward and you hear some horrible sounds!  

Still got some good points, though, Leather, Manual, Estate. So i reckon someone will buy it.... i just won't make much money.

Tunnie. No offence mate mate, but what are you playing around at??

Be business minded. It is old and needs a lot of work to make a decent car again.

This is a car you break!

You make some money and you move on.

Stop wasting time doing anything else!

No offence taken dave, its just other issues in the way.

1) Time - I leave for Uni this time next month. My dad does not want his side of the garage full of bits when i go
2) Stripping - I can't strip a car in anyware near the time Fin has done, would take me a long time to strip it down.
3) More Time - Then I have to sell all the bits off, again would take a while
4) MOT & Tax - Its Tax'ed & MOT'd until December, which means it should sell. As I said in a PM to Fin - I almost sold it last week, fact that I did't have the log book it fell though

Wow thanks for that, I did'nt realise it would cost just £15 / £18  

[JasonH]

My downpipe gasket wasn't in bad shape so that didn't actually need replacing either.

I'm not sure the coolant pipe really has to come off - Haynes says so, but it looks like you could leave it in place.

BTW - I'm half talking from experience, I've just done the drivers side, but failed on the passenger side because a nut rounded off.
