No, I didn't.

so that's another job on a list that's getting a bit shorter but still more than enough to be getting on with before the 2015 show season kicks off Hi Neil, It's good to hear that you're cracking on with the jobs over winter. I usually start off with a short list of a few jobs, which then seems to ...

Hi,
I like Clarksons magazine/newspaper columns, especially his early stuff for Performance Car magazine, but on Top Gear he's almost a caricature of himself.

Hi,
I imagine that Dr B. will have a long search for the unregistered 280. There's only thought to be three in existance. I l'd love to know how much the client is willing to pay!

Hi Chaps,

The article has been printed in the club magazine several times, but it's worth having the info close to hand.in case you need it. I printed it off just in case the website disappears.

I was going to consider a Capri 280, but the prices seem to have went through the roof and i'm not sure they are in fact any better than the 2.8 Injection specials, but happy to stand corrected Hi, No, your dead right, Doug. It's a big premium to pay for leather seats and green paint. In saying tha...

Hi,
How long can clay bars be used/kept for? Do they have to be replaced each time the car is, er, clayed ? I wouldn't think for a minute that they last indefinitely.

Andrew.

Looks like it has an article on Bosch K-jet also. I won't get much work done that day, when it turns up :lol: :lol: Neil, Ian Coulson, the technical expert from CCI, has written a useful troubleshooting and maintenance guide for the K-jetronic. Excellent for reference. http://www.zeepoort.nl/jetron...

Martin from Caprigear has said on another thread that he has a bonnet available.

Hi,
Pity we heard of the feature too late to read it in the local library. By which I mean read the interesting stuff for free in the newsagents!

Dave,
Thanks for the update and the recommendation. I might see about having the ipod lead fitted myself, once I've managed to find a spare tadio at a reasonable price.
Glad yours is sorted out now.
Andrew.
