sometimes when i speak to other ppl at showes & cruises etc i get the impression that they wrap their car in cotton wool just cos it has a different engine, like its some kind of museum piece

if i were u id flog the kit u dont like, then spunk the cash on making it go really well

btw, i dont drive like a tit all the time, but when ive finished work 90% of the time i'll take the long country road route rather than the boring m'way or main roads, its just too tempting

edited cos i had to do my english GCSE twice

I've never had any problems with my engine (touches wood) the only problems i've had with the car are reverse lights not working, temp guage not working and the ICV kinda packing up but I put some redex into the tank and it seems to have oddly cleared it up

lee, the 'sender unit' is it the same thing as the 'speedometer drive'. This is the only thing i can find in the haynes manual. Do i just need to buy a new one??
