Interesting Neal, the other thing is when the reg changed to n482jno and why, did someone retain n405leg for some reason. I really must send the form off to the dvla and get all the info from them next.

[foammanmark]

Adrian, you've had her about a year now haven't you? Where has that gone.............

The 'leg' reg is the one etched into the glass isn't it from memory?

I'm trying to find out owner 3 and 5 from Steve as well he has some paper work somewhere he thinks, oh and he'd buy it back if it's every forsale.

[Ettienne]

How did you track down craig Wilson owner 1?

[MoleT-5R]

Adrian, you've had her about a year now haven't you? Where has that gone.............

51 weeks now and you are right, were has that year gone......scary stuff isn't it....

yep, but not cut and shut as the front matches the back lol......and that was one of the first things I noticed when you bought her..lol

Which bit of road?

[MoleT-5R]

Which bit of road?

not too far from us, but would like to name the exact part of the stubble field due to possible legal repercussions, but it is straight and flat and I tell you when I see you next, just be careful of sneaky ba$tard$ in unmarked black bmw's when your over next and the hide tight into gateways and no hi-vis not sure on the legality of the way there doing this.

What have you fitted ade?

[MoleT-5R]

shiney bits....lol, not to sure if they make her any quicker, but I made them, so worth a full second in the pub bullsh#t factor timingins....just new rip pipe and maf to turbo, pics up shortly

[MoleT-5R]

Just a quick update ( and an apologie as posts 116 to 118 should be in project olive as that was the car that got the new custom rip and intake pipes, didn't realise I stuck a mention of them in the wrong thread....sorry ) Gul had her first outing for 2016 with a run to VT's Vulcan cockpit tour meet. We had a lovely run down (cleared a few cobwebs out in the process) and all was good, till we found that the starter had given up the ghost, luckily there where enough volvo fans there to give the old girl a bump start in the field ( not the easiest of surfaces to push a car on....but thank you all that did ), we then left her running for most of the afternoon and had a trouble free run home. I yesterday stripped the starter that pack up prior to this one, cleaned and checked it all over, re-assembled it with fresh grease and refitted it to the Gul. All seems good and she's starting with ease, time will tell if this unit is still good, but I could not find anything wrong with other than age related crud inside. The interesting thing on refitting was that the back bracket doesn't line up with the bolt hole in the engine block and the bracket is fitted completely differently to the other starter I have, so I was wondering if any one else has come across this and whether it was different on other models like for instance an auto ??
