which diff did you get?

sadly it wasnt just the door, the sill and b pillar were bent too so i didn't take the car. the hunt continues.

i've not found one while searching for a new car here on the main land. never even know they existed till i read the above.

when i first did the test i put the tester on the return from the FPR and got around 7 bar, does that show that the fuel pump is ok?
I have fitted a new fuel filter.
So on idle should it be 3 bar or ...

no i don't get that.. Confused

an engine is an air pump.. the harder it pumps the more vacuum you get?

like i've allways said.. the replacement for displacement is... BOOOOST!

long live turbo's and the nutter that strap them to anything

i've not had the luck i wanted getting it back but i've not given up yet. fingers crossed. mind you the old SS exhaust that was offered as part of the sale would be VERY dangerous here in ...
