This thread is a copy of another thread i have somewhere, but thought i'd get round to sharing it here aswell.

Wow, a new project from me... Back on the road so gotta look smart!

I've picked up a bargain 405... £220 needing a steering rack gaitor/bellow, fuel pump re-fitting and a new cambelt as it'd been cut to remove the pump. What's better is I ended up getting all these bits for nothing after ECP decided to give me a credit for something ages ago!

I had this car in for some work last year after the turbo popped causing the engine to blow. Camshaft snapped, conrod blew. Was then fitted with a 60k ish replacement engine with bosch and t2, cambelt, waterpump etc.

So, a bargain considering! Just gotta whack the steering rack gaitor on and I've got a roadworthy 405 with Full service history and a 60k ish engine fitted last year.

Yesterday I re-fitted the bosch and gave the engine a good clean up as it was absoloutely caked with veg oil (and I mean the entire engine, thick, sticky smelly veg). The rest of the bay also got a clean and the exterior also got a truckwash because... Veg all over the back end.
