so as some of you know i got myself an mx5 nicknamed the prawn on here. i purchased it blind of a guy on facebook for 400 quid. and then roped in @Andy (Sycho) to help me pick it up as its got some really wide wheels on it and it wouldnt fit on my trailer. when we got there it ran for about a minute with a booster pack on but as soon as it was taken off it died. i presume the old battery is goosed becasue when we got it back to mine i put another battery on and it ran fine, so its either not charging or the old battery is b*******ed. it appears to have a few bits of rust here and there but nothing major for the age of the car. it has a bit of filler above the arches i get the impression it had some oveverfenders screwed to it at some point and these have been filled in. it has a sporty exhaust which is pretty noisy but ill have to see what its like for trackdays, and its been lowered on lowering springs its damper than an otters pocket inside. and none of the lights work. and from what i can see in the dark from last night it has an oil leak but it is a long nose crank and it just needs a good tidy up. ill get some better pictures on the weekend when its light and i can actually see what ive brought

I've taken the bait! Where do I find the map search?

Hmmmmmmm

He called you a dishonourable ball sack! Seems harsh.

They are extremely simple bits of kit. Use a blunt pick to remove the old seals - replace seals hey presto ! Honestly if you can build a westy you have no worries with changing the seals. If yours is like mine with two pump heads you need to order 2 seal kits not the 1 that machine mart will tell you to !

IIRC, if challenged, you can ask Mr Plod to escort you to a weighbridge, and if your trailer + whatever is on it is less than 150kkg (no matter what's shown on the trailer plate) you're good. You can re-plate your trailer though, to show maximum gross of 1495kg, say, which is what I'd do. Make sure the brake mechanism in the tow hitch is correctly rated though! I've heard stories of people down-plating trailers to, say, 1400kg and the braking mechanism is rated for 1600-2500kg, which then renders the whole thing illegal.
