820 Manual Gearbox
Having killed the Vitesse Dušan now phones to tell me the gearbox on his NASP 820 is dying and can I try to source one for him whilst he nurses the car home. So that's a PG1 isn't it? He would REALLY like the gearbox from a 420 or620 diesel for the higher ratios, but any working 820 box would be of ...

Next challenge - teaching Dusan the correct use of the Apostrophe. Teaching a fish to ride a bicycle may prove easier.

Given price difference that's equivalent to about 43 mpg on petrol.
At that price everyone who uses it drives it 'digitally'.

Re: Chat about cars you've been in lately
Hyundai Elantra. Hire car in Canada, so no idea of European equivalent model. Likes - it had cruise control. Engine near silent at idle Dislikes - no SatNav. no speed limiter. Engine sounded like a bag of spanners when asked to do any actual work. Interior made of recycled pop bottles. Another one o...

Just noticed the Mk1 hatch at the end of the lineup.

Whilst up on stands and immobile I treated her to a goodly wash and wax. Still looking presentable as a daily driver! You know that if you wash and wax yours, I have to do mine too. I used to complain about how big the 800 was to polish and wax - especially the bonnet. This thing though is VAST! Be...

Re: L35 VDE Caribbean blue 4dr saloon
Was it you driving along the St Davids road into Haverfordwest this morning at around 09:00. I didn't get a chance to get a photo as I was heading out on the opposite side of the road and the car was starting to queue in the roadworks. Nope, but I'll keep an eye out for that one. DE is Pembrokeshir...

however, with my "workshop" being outside exposed to the elements, swapping it with a working one would make more sense. Then pop over to me for lunch and we can play in my garage.

Dusan had a go at that too, with exactly the same parts.dollysprint wrote: Cruise system came from a 1996 420 GSi, switches are pure 800.
But he never got it to work.
Have you got your cruise running?

Re: 1993 Jaguar XJ40
I've got a '92 version of one sat on my drive too.
It's for a planned engine & transmission transplant so if you need any niggly trim bits let me know.
It's got a full Prinz LPG setup on it if you want that.
You know of XJ40.com I'm sure -
