Just to add to this, if anyone needs any of the following, as long as you provide your own parts I am more than happy to help....

Resistor Mod, "Jobs While Front Bumper Off", Pollen Filter, Plenum drains, Plenum Shield, Air Filter (not doing oil or fuel, don't want the mess), PCV Filter (inc fit and forget), Headlight Polishing, Handbrake Mod, Any Water In Boot Problem, HEADLIGHT BULBS!, Replacing genuine Parking Sensors, Bonnet cable divider block.....

Anything I have not thought of that is a common quick fix?

I don't have any experience with the V6 or 1.8/T engines but I have got a Haynes manual

Might be a point to add that I am on my jollies from 9th - 17th June, so those dates are a no for me

All of the above please Gents (eventually). I am awaiting some bits off Jules and Harry's Handbrake mod through the post. One presumes this would be a Wednesday meet?

I will be a Fitters Mate, passing tools etc and learning. Let me know the date.

Ta,

I would suggest a Sunday as the Hollow Tree is a family pub, get a good turn out as more people would be available on the weekend. Food is good there too, and good value to boot! Plus the kiddie play areas indoors and out.

If there are not enough hands on deck on the day to get everyone's car done, the more able could watch and see how to do their own.

Me the missus and the nipper had food and drinks last time, as did a lot of others from memory.

With untrained help the handbrake mod is quick and straightforward, looks like we need to set a date so people can order spares for the day.
