Well... i might make it as a politician with a comment like that... idn`t make Stamford... was no where near! Did go... but not in the Mk2!!
The teething problems i thought would be quite easy to sort have started to turn into a nightmare!
Had to get a new pair of rear callipers as they wouldn`t hold the handbrake good enough...
I have an oil leak from the top end... fitted new camshaft oil seal and rocker cover... its still leaking...
No matter what i do i can`t get the temp gauge to work...
Car is/was spitting and coughing, and generally running like a bag of shite!
Other bits and bobs that have caused be late nights!!
BUT... taken it up to the test center today for the re-test and its passed!!!
Going for the roof doing on Tuesday
In the meantime i still have all the problems to sort out!!
The joys of mk2 ownership...
Its a bit shakey and bangy to drive too... will have to go steady on them bumpy country road with these springs on!!
Will post some pics when the roof is done

At least its passed its mot ...another mk2 on the road

[Banishit]

Glad you got it road worthy Mark

if you are suffering the same suspension problems I had with really low springs and , I know you had no bumpstops, be very careful, as that spring bound I was getting is too bloody dangerous on the road !!!

Cheers boys!
I`m thinking about taking the lowering blocks out Brian as i think the axle is too close to the chassis... I`ll see how it goes...
Can`t wait for Tuesday!!!!!

[RS2000&MEXICO]
