If only I had!! the fun begins Monday on return home from a wedding. Hopefully by Tuesday it’s out on the drive and cleaned up! cheers

Thanks Davy, I’ll try establish at the weekend and see what I can find out. More concerned about how I’ll get the car out of the rather narrow garage with what appears likely, then hand brake binding. That’ll be fun!

Many thanks chaps- I had considered the HB but was surprised there’d be as much free wheel turn prior to it locking. The handbrake itself doesn’t feel right, so it sounds like the likely answer. Thanks Allan ref the offer for the PP to test, no rush; there’s plenty to get on with elsewhere...

Evening chaps, Been a while since I’ve been on. Had the 3200 garaged and SORN for the past 18 months or so, for several reasons, but life has almost now settled to the point that I can give her some attention again. New battery and some fresh fuel and she’s fired up and idles flat; I’ve...

Cheers Gents- not a great day as you can imagine! Think my weekend will be spent trawling the net in search of a replacement, without breaking the bank! Will try David Askew as suggested- also got Marios on the case so we'll have to see what happens. If anyone hears of any 3200 rear bumpers...

Afternoon, Just managed to rip off my rear bumper on the 3200Gt - the joys of one of those wholly pointless car killing security bollards that someone had put in their car parking space outside my office. Was only putting the car there for 30 minutes or so whilst workmen needed access to...

Aah, thanks Gents! Novice alert; didn't even think to check the number plate lights!! That will be on the immediate agenda post work - thanks for the heads up! All lights as standard Saphrane; had the bulbs in the high level brake light replaced at Autoshield a month or two back but it was...

Afternoon all, The past week or so, I've noticed everytime I put my lights on, the 'bulb out' warning light comes on - this being one of the few things i thought, I may actually be able to fix.... but I've inspected the lights with a helpful girlfriend pressing the various nobs and buttons...

So 20k is good! That's sufficient confirmation for me. The previous Selenia was definitely 10w40, and I'm 98% certain it was called racing- although since looking for it again since I haven't been able to find it, and the empty bottle left with the bin men yesterday sadly so I can't confirm...

Evening all, Quick one- recently went to 'shop for parts' in Bradford- the closest place to me in Leeds to purchase Selenia oil for the 3200gt. Historically, I've bought 'Selenia 10w40 Racing Oil' when a top up is required, but they didn't appear to stock this anymore and suggested the only...

Also high on my list!! I'm hopeful- cameras in the hand luggage, just in case the opportunity arises!! Sadly as we're flying through the night and losing 4 hrs with the time difference, I've got a horrible feeling there'll be no sleep until tomorrow night, so any non work activities will likely...

Many thanks gents! Think I will have a look over the weekend and see if it looks like something an amateur can do! Just heading over to Arkhangelsk in the Arctic Circle of Russia to conclude some business- my first visit there and from what I've heard, it's not the most savoury of places...

Hi all, Noticed the other day that a couple of the small LED bulbs in the rear high level brake light have gone, leaving an annoying/uneven brake light which needless to say, is bothering me when I see reflections in the rear view mirror whilst in traffic. Done a bit of a search and see...

Cheers Gents - no corners cut to get her back to her best! I have the debt to prove it... :) Dicky - really good meeting you too! Glad you had a leather dash top cover too; finished off the interior and pleased that I no longer have the dry crinkling leather under the windscreen! Will no doubt...

Agreed - they certainly do! They also add a large grin to my face; which explains why I keep detouring via the car park every time I need the gents... stupid detour when its been raining on and off all day, and the gents are in the opposite direction, but my colleagues weren't overly keen on me...
