I've got a reasonably busy weekend coming up as far as the cars are concerned.

Having a new clutch cable fitted by MicKPM in the Clio, in preparation for the Hill Power rolling road day the weekend after, also got the rear bearings to sort on the 19 and them Monroe shockers I've had for yonks to fit on the front, time and loan of spring compressors providing.

Oh right, i'll check that out Chris, cheers. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to cars in this kind of company so you'll have to forgive my mechanical ineptitude!

it also looks like that pic was taken when it was relatively new, there are no bits hanging off it or broken plastics and a bungee cord holding things together in that pic unlike when u came to mine on it Razz

Bastid, I'm looking for leather seats, but the head rests at the back of a cabby is different from noemal seats so it's a hard find!
