Perfect thats saved me some digging! thankyou!

Good lad!

Nothing against JJ but selling a car with a leaky radiator is a bit of a sh1t move when you've got a 4 hour drive home.

Unless he made you aware in which case you should of prepared a little better.

I genuinely don't think he would've known anything about it I should've prepared better anyway... teach me for next time! 

It wasn't leaking when I sold it hence it making it to London before it started leaking/getting warm lol. Id like to think people know me well enough to know I'm very honest.. I've sold cars to lots of people on here

I'm honestly not worried! Happy to be back in a phase one, thankyou for selling her to me. 

He didn't know and that's probably the furthest the car has gone in a while!

Puddle and piss for coolant... That's just the worst.

I didn't really have any other options and it was a very temporary fix... and having a spare engine back here I just wanted to get back.

Life's a b1tch isn't it  

One of the BMW's I bought a few months back dropped almost all of its oil upon pulling into my yard. Sh1t happens I suppose.

Looks like a mint DTurbo though! I would of been interested few years back!

Certainly is! It's really nice - needs a bit of love here and there but nothing that can't be handled.

Got up nice and early Sunday - Nicked the Aux tensioner off the old car to put onto the new one.. after crashing the old one its pulled the wing in enough to be rubbing on the alternator pulley so I'm pretty sure I'd never of got that one straight again. Got the car up on the 'ramp' and put the Aux tensioner on, much quieter but still needs a new one i think. Took off the mirror caps to put on the new one as the old ones were flaking and cracked pretty bad, new mist jets as the ones fitted were washing the bottom of my windscreen and that was about it, fitted a stereo into it, swapped the front door speakers over and gave it a good steam clean under the bonnet. 



Got my trailer test coming up soon which should push progress on a bit as I can take the old car and take everything out I want... undecided whether I want to go back to the ph1 doorcards or not yet, but engine will be coming out so I can give that a good clean up, rebuild, put on a spare bosch pump I've got about and get that up together ready to go into the new one. Havent done much reading yet but probably going to go down the td04 route, VNT seems a hell of a lot of time and effort.

Need to sort out the rust on the roof again as thats bubbling through - just going to prep and spray the whole roof I think to save having to blend in across the panel. Need to get a quote on getting the speedlines done to take all the kerbing out and then they might go on it... I did like the look of the ultralite/xxr's curt had on it for a while, We'll see. Not a fan of the tow strap either so that will be coming off. Need to sort some pressed plates too.
