Re: New member needing help
In fairness that's what I thought when I brought it, I did obviously look at the engine before handing over the cash and it liked clean, started first time with no smoke (that's as much as I knew to look for to be honest).

Re: New member needing help
To be honest I don't really know, it's been in the garage for 2 weeks having the welding, breaks and a fuel leak sorted and as the mechanic was driving it back for us to collect there was a massive oil leak. He reckons there has been an engine fire recently (something the guy selling it to us failed...

All seemed to be going reasonably well although having only spent one night away in her she needed some works doing in the garage on her breaks and wheels and well long story short having already spent over a £1000 on her, her engine ha...
