My God!

'Ello Mr Vacy-Ash Sir :D

I just caught up with the forum after a busy week to find that the Nits are popping up left, right and centre :)

Chas and I had a bit of a BX swop meet last week and it was great to drive another that is so different from mine.... manual TD compared with petrol Auto and all that! It really is a lovely car.

I think we need to have a bit of a BX gathering eh Matt and Chas... For research purposed you understand :D

Just a note to thank you all for your helpful ideas on gremlins. I'll try to get all those terminals shiny this weekend.

And yes, rich and Matt, I think a NITS BX night soon is a BXcellent idea. ~ale~

I've just searched for this thread - missed it because I was internet free when you joined Charles. Spotted this rather lovely Evasion on your drive when I was at the NEC Classic Car Show (we stopped just down the road from your gaff but sadly didn't have chance to invade!).

Anyway, good to see you here!

:D

Curious...why did you think you needed a HP pump?? what were the symptoms?..

Reason i ask is that I have what I believe to be a cactus pump but hoping its something simpler like an accumulator sphere like in your case..
