Really? Impressive, I'll be getting onto them. Thanks

So the front bumper isn't metal? I thought it was, think I'll try and get a photo of the alledged rust on here tomorrow. (If it stops raining for long enough to get a decent photo!)

Well it's only the front I need so there's a start! Really could do with avoiding painting it for now... though I will need 1 arch, 1 sill and the under badge are doing eventually. Hmmm... time to get quotes methinks.

Aye... suppose that was a bit of a daft question really

So just the rust question then! any ideas?

Any recomendations on where to get one???

Also, where the badge was I have a badge shaped bubble of rust, perfect outline of the circles that make up the T. Any ideas how to deal with this or should I just cover it up with a newun???

Aint there just. Trying to shift a cheap one myself. 306 XSI for £350. Got lots of offers for £250, none for anything reaonable.

Aye... I've always used tap water in the past, never had a problem! And usually just tip about a litre of neat antifreeze (Usually car plan) in the expansion tank when November comes around.

And I assume it's a really bad idea to fill it with water and anitfreeze???

Interesting... How should the coolant look??? The stuff in mine is kinda brown/Biege. I pulled a big tube out of the expansion tank which was covered in some biege ish gunky stuff... fairly thick actually but the stuff got thinner the lower down I went. Is this the "for life" coolant I've ...

Well here's hoping for ya!!! let me know if it works as my morning trip is only a mile atthe most. Might need to soalrise my battery to make it cope.

Aye, not a bad thought... just swapped batteries though and the cells are ALL dry! So think I've found the problem. Problem now is, when connect the new battery up it just blows it's horn constantly and seems to be immobilised??? AAAARRRGGHHHH!!!! Edit: OK now I feel stupid. Didn't realise it's as s...

I thought it was 18V yeah??? Hard to tell now though as it's dead!

How do I check the amp drain??? I'm short on tools/meters here

Well I spoke to my friendly neighbourhood mechanic today who also thought it would be the drop in overnight temp that's done it. Strange though that it was parked up on the sea front overnight on Friday night where it was much colder and deeply iced over but started with no problem on Saturday morni...

Morning all Got a Rev1 which seems to be draining the battery overnight. It's been fine for the week and a bit I've owned it. Then I went out to a flat battery yesterday morning. So I push started it and drove it 5 mins up the road. Battery meter was reading just below 18V. Then when I stopped I tri...

Not an option for me unfortunately... have only enough pennies to run 1 car. I always left the lights up on my mk1, gather I should be doing the same now with my mk2? Is that the first setting on the lights stalk?? I still haven't had chance to have a good root around the motor

Well I got it!!! and I love it!!!! For what I paid I think I've got a right deal!!! Will upload some proper photo's when I've chance. Couple of things, are replacement sills hard to come by/fit/get fitted??? One is beginning to bubble. Not too bad but I wanna keep on top of this one as I let my Mk1 ...

114k on mine... Rev 1 I think, J reg

I can see there's much reading for me to do...

Hmmm... oil, now here's something I've never really thought much about... Synthetic is the way then is it? Even in a motor that's done over 100k? I was told before that you should not go too thin if it's not had thin synthetic stuff in before?

Well looking at the pic it does look like it has half a brace on it. The only thing that worries me, well, it doesn't worry me too much, maybe excites me is a better way of puting it... is that I hear the rev 1 is a touch more twitchy?

Cheers everyone :thumleft: Can't answer everything, like the brake light question because I don't get the car till Monday #-o Hence researching vigorously on't'interweb :lol: Had a horrible fear I'd bought a 3sfe which I hear is a little underpowered. I'd like to think it's a rev 2 but it doesn't se...
