Re: wiper blade spindel covers

The link doesn't work, but personally first I would try Martin at Caprigear or if he can't help try Tickover in Kent.

Re: Some photos my Grandfather took during ww2

I have a picture of my great grandad, he was a private in the Somerset light infantry WW1.

Also in the picture is his wife, my nan and her sister (both under 5 years old) so taken just before WW1.

Re: Filmstar

Nice one Danny :) Found out from a previous owner that my XR has been on T/V :shock: The programme was shown in February last year on the Welsh S4c channel and it should be on channel 4 later this year. About the reverend Emyr Owen from Tywyn in mid wales in the 80’s. https://www.upi.com/Archives/19...

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon

Series 2 of Richard Hammonds Workshop starts tonight at 9pm on Quest, and repeated Sundays at 7pm! I quite enjoyed the first series so will watch this one too. Thank you Andy, I set it to tape. Funnily enough I've just been watching the first series as that's being repeated on Quest. Never appealed...

Re: Refurb wheels & new tyres...

Looks great John :cool:

Always liked the 15" 7 spokes I had on mine and they look so much better than the same style 13" in my opinion.

I have the same Uniroyal tyres on my XR albeit smaller size, will see what they are like over the next few months :)

Re: How much

It's funny but of all the cars I've had my two favourites are firstly my Skoda Fabia VRS mk1. Magic little diesel with 130 bhp but more torque than most V8's. I bought it new in 2005 and sold it to a mate in 2012 when I bought my Octavia VRS estate. My mate still has it and it's now got 120,000 and...

I also had a Lotus Carlton sold for £19K and several RS2000, a Mexico reg OOO 707M which was stolen one night, probably 20 Capris including a b...

Re: 42 years old

Nice back story and car looking great :cool:

Always surprises me when a car has been restored we still get little niggles for a while :headscratch: Had a couple with the XR recently but fingers X all ok now.
