its essential to buy disk sets that include the ETM, most of the ebay ones don't I find.

I will accept £10 for them. I imported them from the USA as this is where the ETM disks come from.

If you PM your address I will pos tthem tomorrow and Ian can enjoy them over the weekend.

you need a large whiskey and an anadin before starting on blower fan repairs, trust me on this.

Oh god, the whiskey I have and I'm already on a lot of painkillers. OK, first thing I did was check the main fusebox, what next and can anyone email me the wiring diagrams?

Ian on the spedo front I sound like a lose connection of broken Wier some were, I would also check the fuse box for corrosion and this can be a problem it has been for me also check all you fuses and check again on both cars that there OK. Philip likes blown fuses. As Philp and all have said running wise it could do with a service, change all the items roter arm, cap, plugs, filters including fuel and give the air flow meter a good clean with carb cleaner, (running at about 2500 rpm doing short blasts so not to stall it. On your breaks that will need a good strip down and check over, If your lucky a good run may solve this.  Good luck.

the bumpers are an assembly and can be dismantled as required. do not expect the bolts that secure the chrome blades to give up without a huge fight though.

I never said I don't like LZ, I do, especiallt the live version of Stairway to Heaven, just never bought them as my mates had the whole set.

Been outside, green lights on all switches except defrost which was yellow, faint noise from fan but only a whisper no matter what setting control on. Next!
