Hahaha you're not even funny... No I suppose I asked for that really :D I appreciate I omitted a bunch of info in my o.p. but only asi knew I was at the point that my issue is probably a clutch(inside the bell housing) problem rather than an external gear linkage or slave/master problem. But since i...

Thanks Aidan. I'll give him a go

Hi. Having clutch woes. Have reached the limit of my ability to repair on drive. (Ie I can't drop the gearbox...hell I can't even get the master cylinder off...) so I need a mechanic... wondering if anyone can recommend a t25 friendly garage local to Formby?

Ok so a little bit more info needed if anyone can explain. Its looking like I need a new temp gauge sender for my bus, my engine is 1.9 d.g the sender fitted is 2 pin blue, but when I've gone to brickwerks page to order new the only blue one they have is not listed to be for d.g engines.do I have th...

got genevieve painted on the outside first coat done at least n tidied grills up with satin black rattle can, quite pleased with results even tho i know i rushed the prep on some of the panels, put it puts a grin on my face. is certainly true tho, for the finish, you get what you put in :) http://i1...

joined the rolling revolution today, use my van daily so having to do peicemeal, did the tailgate door today, not bad for a first attempt i think, i think the paint was a lil on the thin side and didnt cover as well as i hoped, but that can be rectified at a later date with another coat so not too w...

the whole engine was stripped down and rebuilt crank/case reground and camshaft from one engine, pistons with new piston rings and heads from my old engine, new flywheel. how much needs to be changed for it to need running in?
