hi phil

i see what your saying but i no nothing about any part of the car .thought they would just renew the inside .and leave the outside as it is .the whole car is original and trying to keep it that way .apart from the obvious tyres brakes ect.

dave

tried tapping it but just the same.

thanks dave

thanks for that mine is as dead as a haddock

dave

is there anyone who refurbishes the fuel pumps .i dont have the brains to do mine and it needs doing.
