Tbh mate, that front circlip is the worst part, bar none. Rebuilding the CHRA is actually pretty straight forward and doesn’t take long.

Interestingly I was listening to some Politicians on the radio a few months ago arguing over what Representative Democracy meant, some arguing that they were elected to represent the wishes of the constituents and some that they are there to represent the best interests of the people based on thier appointment as a learneded person. This is a problem as far as I’m concerned and just shows how some of them political establishment still believe that it’s pre 1918 and that the common person is not in charge.

There’s the inherent issue though Tony, for the UK it’s a trading partnership for the EU it’s building a community, a superstate. There’s an ideological miss match is what the plan is. There’s a reason we don’t have the Euro, aren’t in Schengan and have a few little opt outs. I wonder how many Brits actually want to see full co-operation and the State of England as apposed to the Nation.

I should add, that should a Landslide for a pro remain party be achieved and I mean landslide, where more than 50% of the nation voted for pro remain parties then that would change things. At that point the public should be asked again.

Fair comments but there’s more to consider in my opinion.Firstly Brexit isn’t just the result of the referendum. It’s the result of; A government in 2015 being elected with a majority and a manefesto to seek revision and if it could not be found to a satisfactory point a referendum. A referendum result of 52% to leave. The election of a subsequent government that supports the result, a minority admittedly by of those who voted the lions share, circa 80% went to parties, including Labour who pledged in thier manifesto up hold the result. Then of corse a representative democracy who’s parliament voted 6-1 to support the wishes of their constituents and the result of said referendum. Due to the changing face of British politics gaining 30% of the vote in a GE would see that party having a majority, this is a lower percentage than that held by Theresa May’s minority government and is why Boris is keen to drive an election and gain a majority (that’s the plan anyway) so effectively article 50 could be retracted and the whole process stopped by a 30% “majority”. At which point the concerns raised by those who are Eurosceptic, some of which may not even believe in leaving but rather reform will have achieved nothing. Personally I would say there is a larger percentage of Eurosceptics than Leavers as such. Simply painting those who do not share your world vision as far right extremists is both disingenuous and dangerous. Sadly there is an extreme version of this “Liberal Democracy” that believes that they are righteous and “progress” as they see it in thier direction is the only way forward.

Your memory on the topic is undoubtedly better than mine, I do seem to recall that originally membership of the EEC was not preferred by the left, as they were worried about its capitalist and federalist components and that it would actually degrade the quality of life for the working class. There mind was only swayed by reinforcement by the EEC that it’s real purpose was to create peace in Europe.

Whilst I don’t agree with the premise, that a second referdum is required I could understand the Liberal Democracts pushing that way. The notion that they would seek to retract article 50 and stop the U.K. leaving despite or without a vote, simply on a general election victory as stated by Ms Swinson is bonkers. When you seek to obstruct democracy because you know best and you have members who object to basic modern accepted morality such as homosexuality you really are left wondering where liberality or democracy come into it.

Centre to centre is about 100”s

You may recall I had a similar issue, where my passenger side rear wheel was further back than the drivers. In short it was down to the rear traction rod. I believe like me you’ve got full aftermarket arms? The toe and camber can be correct but the traction arm throws the wheel further back and alters the caster angle.

New core? And new wastegate actuator?

Will you have to pay tax on the Labour?

I’ve been three times in the last couple of years, to France, Germany and Italy. No ones said a thing. So maybe you, like me will be lucky? The only trouble I’ve got in was with the Yellow Jackets, who was burning pallets and blocking a round about, was like something out of a war film!

Tbh I dont recon too many of those soft valved early cars are still about, those that are will likely not have the original block. It’s a low volume of these cars that had the issue and after 30 years the survivors are just that. Mines an 89 shell, the block isn’t an 89 one though...

The trouble is with these cars, parts are so bloody expensive. How much would I trust a block that’s been sat for 15 years, well guarantee the seals will be shot, minimum your looking at a full gasket, belt and seal change at which point how much extra cost and Labour is it to re ring and bearing the bottom end and have the valves lapped in... at which point you’ve rebuilt an engine and it was a waste... unless you can get it for like £500-800 I’d not be interested tbh.

It’s a parts car at best really. The corrosion on the rear sill is horrendous. It’s far cheaper to replace a duff power train that body work, in my opinion. If your a body work enthusiast and you want a challenge I’d try and get it for half the buy it now.

Nice little read that Andrew.

An earlier point, about Japanese auto manufacturing leaving the UK. That’s not really a Brexit effect is it? Let’s be honest. Japanese car manufacturing only existed in the EU due to stipulations made by the EU, a percentage had to made in the EU market, the U.K. secured that deal. Further recent neigotionaton meant that this requirement was no longer required and so it made it practical and more profitable to move this manufacting back to the Far East in part. Whilst I’m sure market access fear did have some relivence it’s capailist behaviour and changing EU policy that killed it off.

Personally I think we’re at or close to 11pm on this, everything has ramped up in the last few weeks. Voices of extreme, polarised by thier choice are shouting louder because they know something is coming and they fear it’s not what they wanted. There’s a lot cold feet and a lot of nerves, that’s understandable but the vast majority of this country were not happy with how things were and Britian isn’t alone with it’s critisims and contentions with the EU. If the question was, “Do you think the EU is great and we should fully join” the result would of been far more extreme I think. Britian has always been in with concession, one foot in the door one foot out. It’s time to wait and see what happens next, the big noise has to quieten down and compromise. Without compromise, we will stay here in this expensive and damaging limbo. A deal, the deal, was available and through a lack of compromise we’ve wasted lots of time and money not taking it.

I fear the most likely outcome is you will end up with Corbyn propped up by that rather nutty Swinson.

My prediction, which has played out pretty much to the tee so far, is that this procrastination and subversive behaviour will continue in Parliament. Despite a referendum choice to leave and MPs voting 6-1 to respect that vote a lack of ability to compromise and get on with things will lead to the following out come. A general election. This will be won, particularly if they replace Jeremy Corbyn by Labour, probably a minority government propped up by a remain party. A second referdum will be run and people will be “educated to vote the right way”. Long range forecast this will create a few years of false prosperity and inflation among with increased national debt. When Germany slips into recession and triggers a Eurozone crisis the national debt will be too high and the UK will return to recession. That in my opinion is the most likely direction of things. As a side note the NHS leave or remain will not remain as it is, the model is unsustainable and the system is coping with 1000 things it was never set up to be for. If we leave it will see further privitisation and if we remain we will move to a more aligned position with EU countries such as France where they have a subsidised system, ie it will cost you a tenner a pop to see your GP.

Without checking everything else over, like Timing, TPS, IACV etc etc that could be wasted time and money. You need to either work through or get someone who knows what they are looking at, to inspect it.

My guess would be you’ve got an injector failed open. This is easy to check. It could be a multitude of things but it’s probably something silly. Does the car idle properly at 750rpm?

Go and buy a barb fitting with a threaded Male end. Three nuts and a washer. It’s gonna be fiddly but that’s your best bet.

Just take the old one to a local hydraulic specialist and they will make you while you wait.

Be really careful with the engine say in its sump, it’s really easy to crush the pan a little and the clearance between the pan and pick up tube isn’t much at all. The subsequent oil starvation and pan exchange is a world of frustration you don’t want. Trust me.
