I bought this from Ebay from the other end of the country from where I live, driving her all the way home with an engine management light and sticky front brake. Idiot! A pair of camshaft soleniods, inlet hose, new brake piston and seal kit later and she was all better. Then a pair of rear springs and shock absorbers and a new front upper wishbone and reattach the rear undertray that fell off...
Love her to bits and makes me grin just sitting in her, never mind driving!

a few battle scars and a patch on the rear bumper that's a darker shade of red than the rest of the car suggest a history....

Radio doesn't work at the moment as it needed a code and my better half tried to guess it on the journey home when we collected it. It's now blocked and needs to run for either 2 or 4 hours to unlock it. That means we'll have to drive round the island a few times since the ignition times out after an hour of just sitting...
I have the code now, just need the time!

Have replaced the rear springs and shockers (Bilstein shocks and Sachs springs) after hearing a crack and noticing a difference in ride height from one side to the other, that'll be the spring seat slipping down the shock absorber shaft....
