1heres mine that were already fitted when i got the car, the smaller set were some i bought to make wind deflectors but were to small

I know someone down in Devon with a bonnet for sale if your interested (£75), I think he said its for a lightweight but may be of use

Rather than paying for full 12 months why not SORN it over winter, that's what I do and if you know it's going to be off the road for a few months ( repairs or upgrades) then SORN it then. That way you only pay tax for the months your using it

Well just sold my Super Spec so it's on to something new. A Quantum Xtreme, needs some tlc as it's been a race car most of its life I think but boy is it quick!!

Selling a set gauges oil pressure, water temp, fuel, voltage and rev counter. They were in my car but upgraded and worked fine except the rev counter which for some reason I couldn't make work so this is just thrown in as someone might be able to get it going. Comes with sender's for oil and water. I will print off the fine chinglish instructions but there's only 4 wire each I think +be, -ve, backlight and signal. Looking for £50 posted but will take offers.

Anyone else having difficulties accessing the locostbuilders website?

Saw this up for sale last week, definitely looked interesting

What Dan said, had mine for 3 years and my car lives outside all year round with no problems. I have the Stormforce plus one as it has extra elastic around the bottom so you can pull it tight to the car

you want to make sure you search for "Locost" not "LOCUST" as i think the locust is a wooden frame but stand to be corrected

Facebook groups and their marketplace, Gumtree, various owners clubs

Fingers crossed it's not the HG but my oil was clear and no real coolant loss for about 20-30 miles. The chap who did all mine said the water pumps are usually ok but seeing as he had whole thing apart it got changed. However he did point out that despite the milage being low it was still a 24 year old engine so anything is possible

I had the water pump changed when the Head gasket blew on my Superspec and the chap said it's not to difficult in our cars as you can get to it easier than when fitted to the Rover, it's only 5 or 6 bolts and the pump itself isn't expensive. Your sudden temp rise sounds exactly like my HG failure except mine eventually started blowing white smoke but not for sometime after the HG went

Halfords and such places will do free battery checks, as mentioned before a fully charged battery should read about 12.6-12.8V but even then it can be the battery is just knackered something to do with the lead plates and acid loose their electrical properties

Thisn is pic I posted earlier in the year. As you can see the kitspares ones are alot smaller

I originally bought from there but they were alot smaller than I needed. I think I put a post up showing size difference
