Get a boost gauge fitted
in the analouge clock hole and turn the boost up to 13.5 any more and you'll get boost cut and enjoy yourself. My dads had 2 if these and they are great cars and very reliable sometimes you have electrical gremlins but normally it's just a case of dry solder Good luck and get some pics up

Well I'm home!

£100 well spent

The bodywork is M.I.N.T!

The interior is mint too but needs a cleaning, and the alloys are in great condition with Bridgestone tyres fitted that grip the road like glue!

However, it needs a new battery I think, as after driving with the lights, radio and heater on for 3 miles, pulling over for 10 minutes then getting back in, she didn't want to start!

Luckily I know an old trick to get a car with an almost dead battery going - press the clutch!

So, I did that and it slooowwwlllyyy turned over and started - Thank God!

First thing tomorrow I'll go out and buy a new one.
