Hi Andy as you have a small tub how about some flowers for it. Yellow Of Course Stephen

Been out playing I the car all weekend chucking it around the Cotswolds B roads. Went out when the football was on great quite roads great fun. What about the Rover engine and the head gasket problems ??? Stephen

Amit it you must be loaded like Andy!! I took an elise out for a test drive at the weekend which was good fun. the brakes seamed very poor after driving the hood. So I am not to sure about it will have to try the VX 220. what do people think is better the Lotus elise or the VX220 ? <Edit by Jon Bradbury> You thread hijacker, Steve! Have you been taking lessons from Bill or Rizla??? <End Edit> all the best Stephen

Hi Jon did the pics I sent you help. I would think about some mud flaps as it is easy for stones to fly up from the rear of the front wheels and hit you when driving as you have them quite a way forward this will happen even more so. Looking good when is the sva. A lot of new pluming in the garage !!! Stephen

I will say 170 miles stephen Altwasser

i could not resist this one andy. Stephen

Or may be one of these?

If Andy did get one of these new MNR canoes. Then It would be Batman and Robin not the Milky bar kid. In his defiance he was at the arranged meeting place on time although I was in the hood, and Andy in the tin top He missed out on a great drive in the sun shine,which for Stafford is unheard of. A great day out made even better by the weather. Nice to see the car at long last Bill and Joe Stephen. I am thinking of one of these?

I SAW THIS AND THOUGHT OF YOU ANDY ALL THE BEST STEPHEN

I have a strap from a dog collar from pound land fixed to the side screen with a female part of the press studs for the hood fitting and secure the strap around the side chassis tubes and clips together with the quick release buckle. You could use some shock cord and P clips with some U shaped catches fixed to the inside of the car side panels as per Dax rush. good luck stephen

So Mick which car did you get any pics ? sorry had to ask! have fun. all the best Stephen

Yes Keven thats me have you fixed the ding in the scuttle. How is the boss/wife. Call it a beer and you can have it. Now where did I put it!!. I hope to come Sat as well be good to see every one again. all the best Stephen

Yes I have the silencer I hope to go to Stafford next weekend. I can bring with me if you need it. Stephen Altwasser

Hi thanks for the advice all sorted now managed to remove the unit with out removing the whole of the dash and any of the steering. The new part was under £60 so Lesley can now keep warm, Problem is she has given me her cold so a day off work sick!!!. Thanks Stephen Altwasser

Thanks for the info I do think that it is the blower as the switch seems fine. I will have to price a new one first before attempting to remove the old one it looks quite big so I think dash out I am a bit worried about the air bag as the steering has to come out as well. May end up in the garage. Thanks stephen

Hi i have a problem with the heater blower on my wifes Citroen saxo. I have checked the switch gets power checked the terminals to blower all switch through 3 speeds OK. But plug looks a bit black though. So is it the blower motor that has gone and is there an easy way of getting it out as the Haynes manual Say's to remove all the dash first. The blower has been intermittently working and not all week. Help a cold wife. Any ideas would be gratefully recived Ta Stephen Altwasser

Well don Joe and Bill hope to see the car at Stafford. Took my car out at the weekend as knew the snow was coming just 105 to and from work a bit chilly on the M25 at 6 am But great fun still. all the best Stephen

Hi Dave I have the dohc kit on the road and I did get the robin hood tank with the special swirl pot fitted in the tank I had fitted the original pump by bending the pipe attached to the pump at the top a bit. The problem was that the pick up was not quite at the bottom of the swirl pot so never worked that well had to keep tank quite full and going around roundabouts and right hand bend was a no no cough and splutter. I even stuffed the tank with fuel baffle foam no help at all. So after nearly 5K miles I have now fitted an in line sierra pump and an external swirl pot which is fed by a fcet red top pump. Not cheap so a proper tank would be a cheaper option or get a swirl pot welded to the bottom of robin hood tank. Where I got my bits from LINK SWIRL POT WITH FILTER Good luck with the DOHC Kit Stephen Altwasser

GREAT NEWS take it easy hope to meet at a show. all the best Stephen and Lesley Altwasser

I have a DOHC 2B and I am very pleased with it The 2B dohc kit is a bigger Chassis and has the advantage of having scuttle and lift off bonnet. these ar also avalable on the Light weight. Have a look at my web site as well LINK Stephen Altwasser

Jon have you got the right wheel etc fitted as the RHSC have diffrent offsets to ford. I have 195 15 and it took a lot of fiddling to get right. I placed them in a vice and slipped a 2nd tube in side and adjusted to fit also used the plumbing pipe bender and blow lamp. if you want me to have a mesure I can . good luck Stephen

Jon looking good your fit on the rear arches is great to the side, Dash looks nice as well will you fit a heater? keep up the good work. well don. Stephen

Looks a nice car what did you Pay? I see you have a kitchen cupboard on the wall Ihope your garage is dryer that mine as I had one full of tools and after 14 +years decided to let go when I was still building my car. Nice looking car Stephen
