Thanks Jim. Got one ordered off eBay £32. As apposed to nearly £600 from citroen. Should be here a couple of days. Then I can get to work on that and the hydraulic pump. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty and bloody. Then again they already are after just replacing my mates fence for him. Forgotten how heavy concrete posts and gravel boards were.

What to do, what to do. Finding more and more leaks around the blue Activa. Silver one no leaks but needs mot and not sure what it will need. Don't think it will need much and when i took it round the block the other day it ran like a dream.

Wasn't thinking of doing anything stupid just taking off the road to do the jobs that need doing. Thought i might bring it down and leave with you for a bit Jim. Rumours have it all the cars touched by the hand of King Jim are instantly more valuable. ;-);-). Just thought it would be easier to use the silver one then i can take my time and hopefully do the car some justice.

:lol:

You might but I warn you that it will not be quick :wink: I've taken two months already to do Davie's Clutch!!!

In any case my garage is closed to new work now until after August and until Dad's future is sorted...

After that we'll see what we can do...

Just gonna take my time with it Jim. But i do intend to meet you this year at weatherby and let you have a look at all that needs doing. Then you can hopefully give me some needed guidance. That is if you are still making it up here. I believe you said you were coming up on the Saturday,is that right.

Are you going to the nationals Jim. Have pencilled it in this time, but with my look something will most likely crop up.

I'm planning to but it all depends upon how dad is. I cannot commit at that this stage but I do hope I'll be there...

Currently I'm in Somerset every Saturday...
