leaking exhaust manifold
exhaust rotten - fixed

What a PITA - why do I do it?

Quite a bit as well - but did you pay over £4000 for yours?
(I did buy mine when prices were still high)

I think its what they call character,reliable cars are usually known as being a bit bland. ;)
Just thinking,if I ever bother picking up a guitar again,I should write a song called "blocked breather blues". :D

Do you?
Would be in the spring anyway - done about 3 years ago. Going to change at about 35000 from previous change, I am always a bit over cautious on valve operating equipment.

What's up with your wpier motor, James?
Just changed mine due to over-enthusiasm. Give it one wipe and it doesn't stop for 5 miles. >:(

august my old mig was suffering from rot in the crossmembers and as it had covered 351???miles i pulled it off road and bought my present mig as a stopgap until i could find and afford the sort i wanted.
this stopgap has for past 5 weeks caused lots of trouble with eml light and had many parts replaced to try and cure it. i'm currently at my final point of remedy replacing fuel pump which i will post result in general help tommorrow afternoon.
if this is successful the stopgap still needs 4 tyres, droplinks wishbones, and outer balljoints, and then a trip to wim. it also needs chipping in hope to get anywhere near the economy of my old mig. and may need a viscous fan as the current is being left off due being permanantly engaged.
my big mistake this year is that i should have just had a pair of front jacking point crossmembers welded in and mot'd my old mig and footed the bill until the right replacement came up.
there are 2 morals to my story which i have learnt to my misery "better the devil you know" and "never open a new can of worms"
the good thing about this year is that i have discovered "oof" :y
