Pye Man Posted July 2, 2007 Report Posted July 2, 2007 Well done Sam for getting it on the move again. I hate the sphincter(sp) twitch you get when somthing misses a beat
Pipster007 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Posted July 2, 2007 Well done. Thats the good thing with old cars, you have half a chance of getting them going again yourself without having to take it to a garage and plug it into a pc.
