Car has new beam Awaiting new exhaust (saturday) and possibly needs a thermostat ...

Ordered my headlamp deflectors, got GB plates ready to fit, boot is fixed (opens and closes and everything!), engine is full of oil (but for how long ... Burns not leaks, by the way), I'm getting well excited

[bakker110]

Not ready yet just found a leak in my radiator and need to change my voltage stabilizer or I have no temp or fuel gauges working. Also need to do my upper steering column bushes. :/ It's gonna be close. Think I've got everything else on the list although thanks for reminding us we need passports that one had totally slipped my mind.

Now this leak I was on about just won't plug with the olde rad weld stuff. Does anyone know if I'd be better trying to get it fixed? If so where and how quick in the midlands? or just buy a replacement.

Thanks

If it were me I'd just replace the rad... Indeed, when it was me, I did

GB plates and new thermostat are on today Got a spare bulb kit as well, plenty of fresh coolant, filled it up with oil (from almost empty) yesterday, all coming together

Stuff you'll need:

Hazard triangle
Hi-vis jacket for each occupant of the vehicle (kept in the passenger compartment)
Spare bulb kit
European breakdown cover documents
Passports
Camping gear
Any spares that you see fit
Headlamp adaptors
Euros
Beers for me
matches/lighter for camp fire!
Tales for camp fire
Full tank of fuel for when we get to Brands too, so we're ready to rock and roll as soon as we set off to Dover!

Half way there

Its still stuck in the bodyshop, rolling road is booked for tuesday and I want to make a couple of last min changes before the rollers, I'm not worried

Ok, I'm getting worried now

Was supposed to get car back today but he couldn't finish it off, he's worked all weekend but is well busy, which means I may have to pick it up the morning of the rolling road on tuesday, but I need to change a couple of bits for the rolling session and test it out myself before....

Why does everyone leave it late eh?

I hope everyone else gets there problemos sorted out

I'm rather impatient too so I know how you feel

If you knew how I feel at the moment Josh you'd be popping down in your pug with spray can in tow!

I'm not worried, honest

Is it having a full respray ?

[Kam]

Is it having a full respray ?

No just the front pull away end, its just he's busy and more of a perfectionist than me!

Right now I don't care, I'd run the 'ring in primer if I had to, aching to get back out there......

[The Matt]

Well, I thought I was ready. But my Mini is totally stuffed. Can't get it to run right at all. Must keep trying!

Bakker: I've got a super cool 2-core rad in my garage, could post it ou first class tomorrow if you want it?

[Kam]

Matt - I might have spare mpi pump if you do need it? I know you changed yours, but just incase

[lemmingzappa]

Don't give up Matt, I want your car there !

Yes Matt did you get my PM.

[Prawn]

as everyone else, I'm not ready yet either!

Got my exhaust fitted and turbo intake on the audi over the weekend, and fitted a cooling fan to mini.

mini is at the garage today having the bulkhead reinforced after it mananged to crack it at the subframe mounts, then it just needs new top arms fitted and it's ready!

I'm nowhere near ready though!
