RSLUBBY · 07-03-2010, 12:40 PM

Had to sort out some water leaks boot full of water and a hose split that goes onto the water pump. It keeps blowing the ciggy lighter fuse i think this has a tee off to the fan switch so dont know if its drawing too much or something. Other than that its sweet. Got a ford petrol cap with key if i cant work out what you said will give you a shout mate

Cheers

tomoyb · 07-03-2010, 05:16 PM

liked the look of this one,nice car

how come you changed from 3-door to saph? just out of curiosity

RSLUBBY · 07-03-2010, 08:03 PM

just a change as had 4 3doors in a row the last one 3 years and saphs handle better plus doing an extension and rather than borrow thought i would release some cash. PLus wanted a new project as finished the other one. Just a change all round really.

Robs Frst · 07-03-2010, 10:49 PM

Nice saph.
