Shame. Taken the parts to tip now.

That metallic green paint looks lovely on the car. Unfortunately, I find the interior colour combination that tends to go with it, not to my taste. It's black & grey or light cream for me, which is why ( & I may be repeating myself here) I swapped the tired tan interior on my own car for a nice...

My pump went some years ago. It just started leaking from the little indents on top. I came to the conclusion that it was a unique part. I was rescued by someone on this forum who let me have a pump for a nominal sum. Without the support of the people here, I am afraid I would have scrapped the...

Hello Davy. Yes. I agree it would be difficult to sell but I'm giving it. & You are certainly right about swapping the interior, I've done it & it's not fun. I actually swapped my Tan interior for a grey one & it looks so much better.

Last week I placed an Ad in the classified forum giving away a 3200 interior. Not one reply! Now, this post isn't really about the ad itself, it's just an opportunity to express my suprise that no one was interested. Anyway, I'll leave it a bit longer & then it's tip time. Shame.

They are Tan. I also have a furniture clinic Tan refurbishment kit. Please get in touch only if you intend to use the parts for your own 3200 & not if you are a business or intend to profit from this. I simply don't have the space. The entirety of the interior is available with the exception of...

Time to replace my lower arms. How are the new VPS arms doing? Has anyone else fitted them? I looked at the VPS website & they will do all your arm ball lever type thingys for 2200. Imagine having a car with all those new bits. Imagine being able to safely travel at speeds in excess of 45 MPH...

Cheers Guys, I don't feel quite so much a fool now. I'm sure it will be fine in the long run. As to the amount spent on my new donor by the previous owner, I really can't understand it. Just as an example, He paid Graypaul well over £2000 for new discs & pads & £1500 for refurbishing the wheels...

My main 3200 is currently off the road because I left the engine running to defrost it, went to the toilet & came back to a overheated disaster with no compression. It also needed a new rear boomerang & two lower front arms. Now, the new car, which incidentally does run ( I drove it back from...

Just bought a 3200 from a dealer in Washington with the intention of using it as a donor car for my other two. Dreadfully disappointing as I was assured by the seller that the engine was sound. It was not, it is incredibly tappety. I thought that this was the way forward to keep on top of the...

Wish I'd spotted the " Front Wishbone Experience" thread. Hope everyone doesn't feel I've wasted their time.

Okay Lads. Booked in for the Cambelt service with Marios. He confirmed what you were all saying, that the Eurospares 4200 pattern will fit. I think as it's going in to him, I'll be cowardly & let him fit the new wishbone.

Thanks. I'll definitely go with the 4200 patterns. It is MIJ exhausts. Do they have a bad reputation? Naturally I would have liked something like the Larini but my first priority is just to get the Old Girl through the MoT. With this in mind I'll be off to see Marios at Auto shield for some...

Thanks. At half the price of the 3200 ones I'd like to think the 4200 pattern ones will fit

Oh & didn't know about the horsepower thing. Still, with the way mine handles, anything over 150 BHP is probably too much. Anyway, if I want a car that works properly, I'll take the 4200 out.
