Well i have fixed the gear box ;)

[m1tch]

nah , im just gonna use the white one for a while - whilst looking for a auto box for the other

Could you not take the autobox out of the original one and open it up and see if there is anything obvious with it? Would need to come out anyway and you have the white car to drive around in

Hi stu

Glad you got home ok, and your enjoying him he\'s certainly been a great car for us over the last 3 years!! I think lynns wanting to forward you her best photos of the car too, do you jaw a home email? Or is work te best??

Hiya Pal

the car drove like a dream - lovely and smooth

still cant get used to the clutch or the gears - but that should come in time

the only thing i had trouble with was putting juice in it , the petrol flap opener was really stiff ??

and not sure if the boot one worked ( was pulling both of them to get "something" to open )

apart from that .. superb mate

got a few drips of water in the car - but only after it was stood for an hour at my parents and then set off - but thats something and nothing

you can email me at work - i will pick it up on tuesday ( off monday )

Thanks again for a super smooth sale on a car

Whats ammused me somewhat is Clare and my mum both prefer the white one to the old one .. so thats ALWAYS a good sign

Good work getting a solution mate! Looks nice too!


What is that fancy tape? I NEED some! (to go on the replacement roof I\'ll be getting, I\'ll freely admit the one I have is beyond repair...)

I\'ll freely admit the one I have is beyond repair...

Take the roof off permanently, do a bit of fab work, cut out the windscreen, stick on an air diffuser and call it a \'spyder\' :Laugh

im sure that Richard said he bought it off ebay ?

i will email him today and see what its called ( there is some in the boot but im far tooooo lazy to go and check ! )

i will get a pic up of the car cover that came aswell - i put it on the other cab to see what it would fit like - and i have to admit - its VERY good

not sure if its an outdoor cover though ?

Hi stu

Yeah the petrol flap is stiff, and I broke the boot release cable in the winter( I think it froze up) but I\'m not sure if it\'s the cable, catch or just come loose somewhere.

I\'ve always taken my time with the gear changes... But since I changed the slave and master cylinder I\'ve noticed the clutch is very low, if you get the chance maybe spend 10 mind bleeding the system, I think that will sort it!

But I\'m glad your enjoyig it I always thought it was a classically good looking car, maybe the cars an odd s5 without the skirts etc, but it\'s different and maybe better for it (IMHO :p )

If you wanna know anything feel free to email, text or pm

Ive got an e39 5 series in replacement... Lovely car and voted best car ever.. Not a patch on my Rex!!!!!!


Thank
Richard
