Thanks again Chris - helpful as ever.

Thanks, Chris - didn`t really think used was a good idea, any way - but what`s cheap ? Have found a source, and they want 25 + vat for the float, and 35 + vat for a carb service kit. I only really want the gasket, but they say it`s not available separately. So, thick end of 70 to change the poxy ...

DAF 66 Marathon Coupé - way cool, and the BEST colour too - NICE ONE ! - I`m well jealous !

I remember reading this a while back and the same week there was an article regarding the worlds biggest factors in producing CO2.

No 1 was Electricity production
No2 Deforestation.....intrestingly enough when our little chums fell the centuries old hardwoods they don't sell it or make furniture ...

28 - 34 CISAC floats needed.

Any help appreciated.

Any help/insights/ suggestions, gratefully received !

Heated seat switches are on when rear is down. Starter motor is very easy to remove, but would be worth checking the connections and the solenoid first.

I keep getting tempted to get a really nice stock (ish) 300 as a daily...but one thing I've come to enjoy is having the option of a 'normal' car. It's not so good turning up to a first date in something which stinks of fuel, has half an exhaust, and spins the rears on demand in the first three ...

Will shred your wallet, that`s for sure - but good luck.

Think so.
But it was Buy It Now only.

... and wasn`t it 1500 last time ? Doesn`t look expensive really, considering it could probably give someone 20 years service.
