Hi all!
Was recently lucky to receive the above car to get me backwards and forwards to work etc. Judging by the look of my car I initially thought 'shitbox' (paint, dents etc) - however she seems to run pretty nicely considering. I'm a mechanically minded person (who ended up working as an IT pleb) but don't have a lot of knowledge about cars - so wow, talk about information overload when I found this site.
Have had a few mechanical problems with her (catcon caved in, had whole exhaust system replaced by my mechanic - I've probably been ripped but I had no other option at the time) and a few electrical problems (couple of hour long drives to work through the rain where everything but the front lights died - was fun!) but all of that seems to have been rectified with a new regulator etc.
Either way, just wanted to drop in and say a quick thanks for the knowledge base you guys have going here.
Will probably be making a post in the next couple of days asking a few retardo questions for various things I can't find with the search feature (people need relevant subjects!!).
Time to go electricute myself putting in a new CD player - could have had it installed, but I like getting my hands messy.
