Sparkymart Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Just spent the morning on the rollers and I've now got a new car Found a broken wire on the TPS which didn't help but after that was sorted and new jets fitted and a couple of hours fettling she's running like a dream.. Just need to hide the bill from SWMBO LOL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkymart Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 I can tell you haven't meet my Mrs.. Doesn't help matters much that I've just had to spend £3500 on a replacement engine for the defender. I'm getting nervous she will be in from work in a bit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dombanks Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just tell her that spending on the car is better than you going out and spending it on drugs, booze, and hookers and I'm sure she will see the rational Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6carjon Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 The above works for me with the addition of its not a car women find interesting and I am always fixing it in the garage so I never have time to chase women or drink ! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRBBONGO Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi again. Just taken mine to Alan Jeffries in Plymouth today. He s got a guy coming over on Thursday to tune the bike carbs. Then have the 1.8 Zetec tuned on the rollers for the first time. Looking forward to some positive results! I'm in Plymouth by the way so very handy.
