So much crap on this thread its unbeleiveable. Who care's if the car is rare or not, its his car and if he wants to take it out on a track thats his choice. Car's are meant to be driven not sat in a garage for 51 weeks of a year and polished every weekend. Yeah he cooked his brakes, yeah he had a l...

I saw a cityrover yesterday, and it made me realise the best thing about 'em is the fact there no longer made

Ant, i thought you said the 200, which is a 1600?, was to expensive to run, now you want a 420 gsi???

you are confusing

GARY220

Should the I/C be situated behind the rad?

And that air filter is

GARY220

Jesus, its like the never ending story

Mmmm, i've just eyed a nice fresh-cream eclair in me local cake shop, going to go and make a few enquiries......

UPDATE: just been to see the cake, and unfortunately its not fresh cream, its custard. I thought all eclairs were fresh cream, oh well.

depends if you remove the belt completely. i dont, so i wouldnt replace it.. Yep, the pas belt is a pain to remove and the crank pulley is nigh on impossible without an airgun. Changing the belt will add on an extra 20% time to the repair for very little gain. By thetime the cambelt is ready for ch...

In all honesty, i havent had my 400 since new, back in '92 i was only 10!

Only had the car for three years, and in that time its been very well serviced, BUT, i cant say if this was true with the previous owners

, and as you say, service history doesnt mean its been looked after.

My cars are VERY well maintained :) Yes it is the k series, and as far as i know, its the original gasket. The reason i commented about the gasket on my 200 going was simply a mileage issue, they both went at simillar mileage. :roll: As for the cam belt, i know it can safely be reused, but as they c...

The head gasket went on my 400 today :clapping: Its just touched 110,000 miles, my 3dr blew its gasket at 112,000 :roll: I'm probabaly gonna get the water pump changed at the same time, also the cam belt (even though it was done less than 3000 miles ago), is there anything else i should change while...

Hinges probably rotted off.

Perhaps they were thinking of a 'mini-moke' edition city rover

City-rover with no doors, nice

GARY220

That would be a lot of work mate, not just engine wise, but the brakes and suspension would need uprating as well. Would be easier/cheaper to simply buy a 220/220 turbo .

Is it just me who thinks this topic is getting tedious, its like a feckin tennis match.

GARY220

I think Markcoupes post sums up how most people, me included, see the barryboys site/members

GARY220

Im glad they have nothing better to do, maybe one day they will grow up/get a life. I wouldnt even waste my time looking on that feckin site, its pointless. If someone has a badly modded car, so the fu*k what? And most of the cars on there are decent, well modified cars, plus i doubt any self respec...

Is the metro/r100 yours?

GARY220

Indeed it is an icon

Put it this way, a 6r4 is in my top 5 most wanted cars, EVER.

GARY

GARY220

The 6r4 never realy had a chance to realy prove itsself in its day, because shortly after its development, group b rallying was banned. The problem was, group b rally cars were getting so unbelievable fast, they were becoming a liability, especially with the growing spectator crowds on almost every ...

I have no idea, what car do you want?

GARY220

Buy a cityrover

Indeed, i now always tell the tyre shop to fit stick on weights when having new tyres Apart from the already mentioned reason, clip on weights look sh1t too. Just going off topic, but still on the subject of tyres/tyre shops.When i had the tyres on my 400 replaced, the guy (kid ) who was doing the f...

Yay, excellent choice of car I have a 1982 mk1 metro vanden plas (3dr), which i have totally restored, rebuilt/uprated engine/autobox, inside, outside, wheels (original pepperpots), brakes, suspension the lot , all as good (if not better) than new. As for parts, to be honest i am finding it difficul...
