Plan B will be soon be swung into action! I shall speak even nicelier to our charming, witty Liverpudlian font-of-all-knowledge Sir Vanny Vanster and see if I can leave it at the farm for him to repair at his leisure.
There's just a bit too much for me to take on. I can't do the engine on my own as I don't have a clue, and I can't do the heater tap on my own as my hands are so big Id need to practically strip it to a shell to get to it. If I could get these two bits sorted then I'd take it in a shot, but realistically I don't have the ability to do it myself or the money to pay someone to do it for me, so I've got no choice but to back out.
Well like I said mate im always up for being a free pair of hands if you need help.
If it was one or the other I could've given it a go. Guess I should really just stick to my guns and get the bodyworl sorted on this one as I originally planned. Its just a pain having the TZD off the road as the short journeys are hammering the GTI (and my wallet when I fill it up).
No need to apologise Doc matey, if I were even half decent at mechanics I'd have sorted it by now!
Any news of progress (or not) from Vanny and his 16V? I hope he has it sorted now, otherwise he'll be coming to the national in a Fiat!
Hope he can make it then, if anyone deserves to he does. Can't access the other side on this computer so will log on tonight to laugh at his progress. Sorry, I mean send encouragement!
£200 with all the BX spares I have including estate rear spheres and quite a few other useful parts.
Needs to go as tax expired and too many other things to keep me going. Will break if enough enquiries.
