how many nova's do you think you will see
broken down on your way to the pod? :(

I havent decided which one i'm going in yet
nova flair 1.2 or nova gsi ?
either way i give my self a 85% chance
of getting that far with out anything breaking.

as long as i get there, not to bothered about trip home :)

Just take a spanner and a hammer and you should be able to fix most things on the way.

In 2005 my SR made it to the pod and Billing a month later without any problems at all after a four-month rebuild and being stood for 6 months before that. A month later it failed to make it to leeds when the head gasket let go and cracked the block.

Think that was the year Riggy broke his manifold on the little hump-back bridge too.

Expect most of the South West members to be littered around on the side of various roads.

you'd better take your uncle then, cos after all of our attempts to give you advice, you always get him to fix everything.

The bit the wiper motor bolts to? had it happen on one of mine (single wiper conversion), take the motor off and either run a weld along the cracks or rivet a plate over them.
