grrr she's leaking again
when i drove my baby home the very first time she leaked fuel when filled from where the filler tube mounts onto the tank looks like the local mechanic did a bodge job :asshole: is there a supplier who can supply the correct gasket so i can sort this very quickly even though i have my ticket for jae this puts my attending in doubt

what is what ??
yeah i know i cocked up my user name it should have been jim@southwales ,if it can be changed would be great did not know if poss. i think my baby must be a s1 but seats are the alcantra trim until i find some leather front seats have the rear in my spare room already. she is luvly as for jae i have been a bad boy and booked the whole friday off (its the bi-annual stocktake )oh dear ill miss the 18 hour day!!!this time so let me know if and when your passing monmouth either meet at the services north of monmouth a449 (a40) ,approx 3 miles north of the monmouth roundabout or at mine in monmouth for a cuppa more the merrier ,dead easy to find loads of parking :clown:

what is what ??
