Maybe, although I don’t know, when pulling hard ...

Re: Pm issues

It’s ok having a body number tattoo Chris but what happens when they sell their cars ? Try to talk them out of it, as in years to come it’ll all become a blurred mess anyway.

His first post with a phone number suggests, to me, he relies on a call rather than coming back here. I might be wrong of course! :D

If I was in your position of not being enthusiastic about the project, I’d get rid of it. Can’t see the pleasure of spending money on something you don’t want !

Re: Can’t get my daughters car to start

Can’t you find any kindness in accepting the person you refer to did apologised if he caused any offence?
There’s nothing wrong in posting light hearted comment.

Re: we have a problem

Well, I guess it was me ! Posting after your recent declaration, would suggest a return. Don’t take it to heart, we all have ups and downs now and then ! Some people irritate me occasionally but I manage to shrug it off, ———-so far !! :D

Re: we have a problem

I looked in today expecting there to have been a bit of a pile on in the last week. Strangely, there has not. I started this post expecting there to be a bit of interesting discussion. Instead, it conked out, and there have been no new 'off topic' posts. Parts of this forum seem to be dying out; wh...

Re: Minilight wheels

You need to check the offset and width, to be sure the tyres are clear of the top trunnions. The company might know, well possibly .

Re: Engine rebuild

Yes, you need to consider the economics of it all. Sometimes you have to draw the line at some point, check the costs of the options and decide from there. Good luck.

Re: Engine swsp

As I say, whatever you’re happy doing. You’d easily get a 1275 reconditioned for £1000, simply because you already have the unit.

Re: Engine swsp

I think most would choose the 1275 unit, especially as you have one. Then rebuilding it properly, should cost no more than getting another unit. It depends on your preference, of course.
