Hey thanks for that. Only just got in from work. Bunked off this morning & went to find some hose. Also found my mate back from London & he went & rescued it & I was able to go work! Cars non the worse for it. Going to check every dang hose now

I think its a lesson to us all, to make sure all hoses and pipes are on. but glad your sorted.

Back on the road. Cars now a Hybrid as it has a brand new Renault heater hose fitted.

Glad to hear, and right where she should be.

Repaired the rear hatch. New pins so now stays shut. And fitted new door switches so the central locking now works as it should. As does the alarm & interior light! Some little scroats sat on the bonnet & scratched it. But it will buff out. Tightend up the new hose as it was leaking a bit. Then gave it a wash & went for an all important test drive. Good day. Need to pull the clocks out next but it's getting dark. Bit of real progress for once.

when steve supplied the head gasket was it just that or a head set? was the head gasket MLS?

Was a head set with a turbo head gasket. But the cam box gasket is cometic from Lindsey racing. Well worth the money as it's cured the oil leak properly & can't blow out. Not the best bit of design on the lux but that gasket is the answer.

have you a link or phone number for Lindseyracing?

nvm they state side... rick wants he's car back next week.

Lindsay Racing site.... Pure Porn for pork owners!

Bits usualy come in 2 weeks. You have to wait for 1 week for customs. Don't forget to add VAT & shipping & a handling charge. The exchange rate makes a difference too.

...and some of them actually fit.

I gave up on Lindsey eventually because so many things needed fettling (from turbos to headlamp covers) and something that nearly fits but doesn't quite usually ends up being more work that something that was never intended to fit at all.

Never had any trouble. But mines not a turbo. Anything nonstandard it's worth giving Dave a ring first to see how difficult it is to fit. Bought a lot of stock oem Porsche bits as they used to be much cheaper. Engine wiring harness top quality. There are differences between LHD & RHD cars that can cause problems.

Ahh - I don't really do stock.

and that is a slight understatement too
