Removed injectors put on new seals reinstalled and timed up the injectors on a grandaughters MkIV Golf(PD engine). Running all good again.

Best thing you can do is choose a car you like, and buy the nicest one you can find.
What if you'd overdosed on Dorset Turnips and liked a Morris Marina, like Sir Tig.....

I was 19 and it cost me fifty quid with 6 months MOT & tax.  :y

It was a great car though and I used do a lovely drift in it around a hairpin bend deep in the lanes near here!  ;D

New exhaust back box and coolant change on Sons Civic.
I will get some work done on my own cars one of these days.  ::)
Its weird being the same age as old people !

It had a black 'go faster' stripe down the bonnet as well!  >:D

I can see you still desire another Marina, Sir Tig.

Not sure you could use one as a daily now, without it disintegrating around you....

Once I had ascertained that the front tyre on the C1 would hold air when the rim was straightened, I felt luck I was having a lucky day.
So, I pulled the whole dashboard out of it and then removed the steering column.
Now need to get another steering column / PAS motor and hopefully put everything back where it came from - which will be the hard part.  ::)
It could be on ebay as spears or rapiers on the next week or two.  ;D

There's an antique centre near here that sometimes has old cars out the front for sale, and for a while they had a nice looking Royal Blue Marina Coupe there.

Luckily it wasn't the 1800TC, because I might have been tempted if it was.  ;D

Used Marina seem to be up for sale within the £3000-£9000 range. :o :o :o

Why would anyone be tempted to pay this for a seventies car, with fifties engineering tech, that corners like a a dog on polished lino. >:D 8)

One of the reasons I won't buy another Marina Coupe 1800TC is that I'd be very tempted to drift it round the afore mentioned hairpin bend in the lanes in the dead of night.    ::)

I'm probably not as talented as I was when I was 19 and it would go horribly wrong!  :-X     ;D

A friend of my youngest has a coupe in the fetching diarrhoea colour in his garage, he just uses it a summer car. Wonder if he knows how much it may be worth?

If you drift a bit too enthusiastically, you might find that the body shell will part company with the wheels.  :D
