    Well, not touched this thread for whole but have kind of ignored the black one since Nick Jacksons old car arrived. To cut a long story short, after Putting it all back together then having to replace the injector o rings, I haven't managed to get it to start and run. I literally have spent hours under the bugger trying to figure out why, I never changed any major bits.
    I was now faced with the last 30 days before the tax runs out and last weekend caused a major petrol leak but bending the fixed fuel pipe from the pump to the floorplan supply.
    I've also had to rip the loom apart and replace the mini loom for the knock and icv.
    I managed to find a plumbers that sells 8mm by the metre and replaced most of the fuel supply feed from the pump, the only bit I left was the bit clipped along the rear chassis leg as I could get to undo it.

    After replacing the supply and refitting the fuel rail, she fired for the first time in four months. That's the last time I take bits off just to pretty them up as it caused more problems. Lol
    She's a bit tappy but here's the proof I do have some skills, as the wife and kids told me to send it to a garage months ago as they think I was in over my head.

    Random pic of the two

    Thanks Steviegsi.

    Cheers Benn, I was getting close to ripping the turbo out and sticking an xe in it tbh. I've still got to finish the brakes for the Mot and I'm seriously looking forward to driving it again. It also likely to end up back in the bodyshop for some repairs as it bubbling in places, I also snapped the grill when it rained and i slammed the boot while I was legging it.

    Always nice when you turn the key and finally hear more than the starter motor laughing at you

    Awesome pic too, but your parking sucks, one is in the middle of the road!

    So you're *that* guy, the one that moves in and uses his right to take up half the street so no one can park outside their house any more
