Fudgeass - your not going to believe this. I got 3/4 of the way home and oh fuck, left brakes and old beam up there. So sorry fella . Will give you a call if I've still got your number, otherwise pm it to me again, and I'll see if I can sort something out

FOOOOOOOK off you coooont it don't smoke at all. OK the solid lifters rattle SLIGHTLY on start up till the oil gets flowing, but then it has done 110,000 miles.

I was wondering why you leave the rear shocks as fucked as they are on your van, but I guess it's to conserve energy. I mean once you get a bird in the back, you only have to ram it into her once, then the "up and down" of the van brings her to a dizzy peak without tyou breaking a sweat. You need to be careful though mate or they will be comparing your van to a washing machine on the spin cycle
