Not sure tbh just keep it sleeper, plans in my head are gt2052 fmic maybe 10/11mm pump, but see what happens in real life, first thing is sort all the issues out then go from there really Smile

Can any one tell me of the stdt clocks fit straight in?

Wow! Just looking at some clocks £45 just for clocks! But if I'm gonna need loom and bits of dash to not sure it will be worth it

So been let down by the guy on Shipley (his clutch gone in his truck apparently) so need to get this moved again asap this weekend really to save messing Ginge around! Any one else got any ideas? Most Recovery people seem to be booked up for the weekend or want silly amounts of money!

If I haven't sorted anything tomorrow then I'm gonna go down and try rac see if they can get it back on my brake down cover but I'm hoping it doesn't get to that And I can get something sorted tomorrow.

What a pain in the arse this is, this is why I hate relying on other people I always seem to get let down. Sad

So who thinks my 106 will pull it back? 215miles...... Im not overly confident but it did pull a 306 about 2 miles with out issue up a decent sized hill to, That was when the 106 was on the standard pump, now it has more toque on the bosch so that should help out more?


Failing that any one round chesterfield way either got a car with a tow bar i can lend/ you fetch it for me? Should be able to get a, a frame, if not a car trailer......

What you guys think??

Oh, what about the company that Jonny and Vaughn rented a recovery truck off. Get train down, rent truck, pick up car, drop car home, drop off recovery truck, get train home.

Or if its ginge thats got the car for you then ask him to hire the truck and drop it off. Hell if you can wait till my next rest days (4 days time) I'll do it if you cover ALL my expenses.


RE: Any one up t'north move a car for me from Portsmouth. - Chris_90 - 06-12-2013

Not sure what that would cost, plus if there is age limits? As I was looking at getting. A hire car/van with a towbar but struggle with being 23 most places said I need to be over 25 or didn't have one with a towbar, thing is really could do with getting it moved this weekend to save ginge any more cost traveling to sort the car out.

I will keep your offer in mind tho if I'm still stuck after weekend Smile

Just for the truck? Wow that's expensive! There was a company I found that was £98 for a day, but didn't read in to it to much will have a look tomorrow see if I can find it again.

What for a 200 mile old flatbed transporter with all the gear? Not really.

It is when you can get Recovery truck for under £100 for the day, but thanks for the heads up with it Smile
