Hi all

Thanks

You can borrow mine but it is in Eastbourne. It breaks down and can be fitted in an average hatchback.

Dave,

I've got one. I'm in Iver but going out today so you'd need to collect it before 10.15! I could have it ready for you.

Any good?

could do all though it would be cutting it fine, my maps tell me 40 min to get there,
So possibly collect later/tomorrow maybe if that possible.

Many thanks Richard

Engine out new clutch fitted and back in, just need to attach the new fan to the radiator, change the cam belt and replace radiator and water.

And hopefully test tomorrow afternoon.
