Hi all, where do I start, had another break down this morning :)
Fan belt snapped on the way to work !!!! at 06.30 , managed to
limp back 2mls to my local garage, luckily I know them and the chap
there opened up the parts counter so I could get a new belt, after
three tries managed to get one the right size ( must have odd pully
or something :) ) , ended up with a 850mm belt. Fitted it on the
forecourt and still managed to get to work for 07.32...

On the plus side I decided to give one of my old 13'' wheels a blast of
satin black paint to see how they look, don't look too bad, better than
the new ones, as they fill the arches out great....

Loving the car, looks awesome now it's all finished-ish :)

Quick question - can't be doing with reading through all 128 pages - how did that mini at the start of the thread end up F reg? Private plates or did you reshell at some point?
