...and bought a rot-box...
Ex West Mercia Traffic Car (you can still make out the word Police on the bonnet )
Picked this up the other week with suspected headgasket fault... Ended up being a buggered coolant bottle cap and a blown coolant hose too. Need to replace the cats on it aswell as they are causing some serious hesitation, but meh its not bad!
Drive home was interesting, went through 12 litres of water over 20 miles due to it acting like a pissed up drunk and always going for a wee, so spent today fixing up the engine & checking it over, runs sweet as a nut (other than the power issues due to the exhaust), no knocks or rattles, even the topend is nice & quiet!
Going to fix it up, need to replace the both cats, exhaust needs changing, rear brakes, also rear shocks... Mazin
