Re: Millway Vehicles Andover
You were a damn site luckier than me then! Very imformative :roll: I have not used Millway for any work but have been there a couple of times, they seem very friendly and competent. Millway's was the reason the 'nail' engine had to come out and be rebuilt from scratch. I posted pics of the bores sh...

Re: Panic - what have I done (SC)
Someone please help. I was running my SC in the garage on Sunday evening and suddenly it went haywire. The car wouldn't rev properly or anything and all the warning lights came on. I killed the engine and took a look round and the righthand most connector going into the ECU had fallen out. I'm real...

Re: Heavy steering
I don't want feather-light, power assisted crap but it does seem heavy to me. The tyres are 195/15 which I know may account for some of it, but is there something else I could look at to lighten things up a little? (I have the front tyres at 28 psi) Thanks. First off, be more specific. What driving...

Re: Good Luck Anna - race debut this weekend!
Thanks for the support guys :) Sorry to have such a short lived race debut for those who came to watch! I qualified 15/17 which isn't bad after only 7 laps in the car ever!

Re: 7.5J wheels will they fit.?
Are you not worried about braking temps? How hard are you planning on pushing the car (trackdays? 1/4 miles? just pootling?)
I doubt the airflow is much good with those type alloys, and if you do plan on pushing the car, i'd advise different allows.

Re: How much is insurance for a modified Mk1?
Is that how much you pay for a modified mk1, or standard?
To be honest it depends more on age/gender/location, so it's only really a guide to ask others - i think ours is circa £300 on a modified SC, not limited miles (it's an everyday car.... when it's not broken )

Re: Driver window finally given up
when you say clicking - was the window sort of jumping down?
If yes, it sounds like motor/cog has gone.
Always worth trying the switch first though

There do seem to be sc's about - and they have been going for peanuts recently.... so keep your eyes peeled. 3/4months they might not be so cheap what with it being summer 'n all (hopefully). How are you do...
