lol yeah sorry but i had my home connection cancelled due to working away and can only get online if i pop into town and use this internet cafe. Anyway so here i am and i\'ll answer these q\'s for ya.

[grinder]

ahh right - either answer them on here or give me a ring tonight ?

off for some dinner - back in 10 mins

fingers crossed for all the answers i want

[hawker182]

1. top of my head 86K
2. Miles not KM\'s it was all converted when it was imported
3. Does start first time every time
4. Well i have never changed the plugs and leads but when i was changing the oil and coolant i whipped them out to clean them up and i just thought it wouldnt hurt to change them but didnt buy the right ones so the oldens went back in, and the leads are starting to show their age, they dont sit on the plugs nice and tight
5. There is one tear in the roof on the corner back pass side about 3" in length, where they all go on the join but this is only the covering fabric on the hard part of the roof, its an easy stitch up job and it dosent leak.
6. Yeah right hand drive
7. Roof folds down a treat as it did the day it was made
8. Only ever had 1 leak when it was terrential and i mean it was belting it down and i was on the motorway and it was dripping lightly through the seal of the roof and the pass window, never opened her up in the morn to find pools of water though like some
9. I have\'nt looked deeply but from what i can see from doing general maintanance (spelt wrong i\'m sure) their is very little, very little indeed.
10. Yeah Jap Import
12. Seats are in great condition just the drivers side has a tear from getting in and out, the usual wear on a car 16yrs old. Not heated and the headrest speakers dont work, they just need wireing up but i just never had time.
13. Their are no back boxes on the car at present just the downpipe, decat and the two pipes leading to the back boxes. They had simply rusted at the flanges and fall off, i have them in the garage they are not standard, have \'cherry bomb design\' written on the side of them and i\'m sure can be salvaged if your handy with a blowtorch, i\'m not hence they are still in the garage.
14. Yes its drivable, i\'m not driving it at present as i\'m now using my new car which sad to say SUCKS but its a diesel and i do alot of miles. It seems to hesitate at lower speeds and about 3K rpms when the turbo kicks in it seems to hesistate again but them goes fine. I was trying to figure out what it could be, once its going its fine. Think its all to do with the lack of proper exhaust system as the turbo works off the exhaust gases and maybe it miss fires every now and then or summin, hence maybe new leads and plugs. But you\'ll be able to drive it home.
15. Back boxes are in the garage, only real spares i have
16. Yeah no leccie gremlins, just the ariel has no motor and the headrest speakers not wired in everything else pucker
17. Dosent use oil/water well only in the way its supposed too, had changed the oil and coolant not long back and a new oil filter
18. General overall condtion is great, its a crowd puller and a head turner.
19. Never had a problem with the auto box, it pulls through the gears fine the overdrive works as it should and the kick down is good fun ;o)
20.Yeah put your foot to the floor and it\'ll knock it down a gear and launch you at an alarming rate towards the car in front....yeah it all works as should
21. Taxed until 07/05 i will check mot when i get back and txt it to ya then update here when i can

[hawker182]

Wow that was a mission, anything i missed? lol

The cruise control works fine aswell, ohh ohh the window wiper control needs looking at it is either on or off, the intermittent wiping thing dosent work, think the switch just needs taking apart and putting back together properly.

[grinder]

ahhhhhhhhh good answers !!

so you dont fancy a part ex for a nice petrol car that runs like a dream then

is the car driveable or will i get pulled for the noise ?

i will give you a ring tonight - probably best speaking on the phone about it

thanks

stu

[grinder]

the only thing that concerns me is the exhaust !

[hawker182]

I have had coppers following me and they have never bothered me in it although the odd car alarm does go off when ya go by lol

Only piccie i have is this one, do ya have a camera phone will send some over later if ya do. But yeah give me a ring later and we can have a proper chat, if ya cant get hold of me leave a message and a number, preferably a land line and i\'ll get back to you as soon as i can

And no not really after another car at mo lol ones quite enough. Am off to spain in a months time for an indefinate amount of time hence the reason shes being sold. And at a very good price i may add ;o)

[grinder]

i left a message at your house last night - i take it that you didnt get it ??

if its driveable

i got that pic already and the front one aswell - did some searching round

yeah the price is good - the the exhaust that could cost me mucho money !!

so it has to be a cash deal - i will speak to the better half before i speak to you

is there a radio in the car ?

is it an elec roof ?

i will speak to you around 7:00 pm if thats OK - or you can get me on 01257 411046  after 6:15 pm

big thanks

stu
( Hummmm new toys for stu maybe ?? )

[hawker182]

no didnt get it, am hardly at home at mo but will be in tonight. Yeah its an electric roof with the control button on the dash, it has a cd player but to be fair its c**p its old it sucks and the screen doesnt work but it will pick up the radio and play cds so it never bothered me. Was in the middle of doing a build for it but this has had to stop. Made a shelf for the back with 2 10" subs 2 6x9\'s and a big 700watt Alpine digi mono amp, the shelf can stay and the 6x9\'s but the subs and amps are sold already. Yeah ideally cash as i say am off in amonths time so will come in handy.

And although its a bit of a sketchy drive i am confident enough to say that if you wanna pay for a train journey home and petrol money there i\'ll drive it to yours. But obviously you ideally want to come have a look at her 1st. But once its going its fine just the hesistation at lower speeds think due to the exhaust blowing so much, will happily cruise on the m\'way at 70

Anyway am gonna get outta here as my bills racking up and i cant handle drinking anymore coffee, will try and pop back tomoro

Speak to you later
Adam

[grinder]
