Re: sporadic and random comment
I thought that it's uglyness and rarity made it more desirable and therefore more valuable in retro circles

Re: '85 360 GLS
Only just caught up with the latest developments. When I first got my 83 GLS, (it had already been put back on the road by someone else) I had fuel starvation problems. The car would cut out (while driving it) and wouldn't restart at first but after 15 min ran again. At the time I put it down to bad...

Re: Interesting 360 GLS
I got an almost identical condition (but 89,000 miles) 360 for £180 two or so years ago ). £750 certainly is a bit steep as a non M.O.T. car with one or two issues. The brake peddle is stiff on mine too but it passes it's M.O.T. and stops OK! Prices appear to be rising steadily. Supply and demand no...

Re: Front suspension struts
I don't think early 360's (pre mk3?) have the extra bit on.

Re: Interesting 360 GLS
As I missed the Gumtree advert before it went, how much was it on for there?

Re: "Professionals" huh!
Having dismantled a set of these from a scrap axle I can vouch for how awkward this job can be. (and I still had to take part to a blacksmiths to get a bolt drilled out which was absolutely seized in against the alloy). When it came to doing the one on the car (VFW) I took it to the garage I use for...

Re: Early 360 / 343 S-model [B19A fixed fan] water pump ques
Bugger, I've just bought an early type pump to fit a later fan At least I now have a spare for the green GLS, although that one was only done a couple of years ago.

Re: MCHUDD IS LOUVRED AGAIN.
That explains the delays. I always wonder what would happen if I get stopped by the old bill on a way for a test, as the one I go to don't do bookings and you supposed to have a booking. Often the car may have no M.O.T and therefore no tax either as I swap around which one I use a bit. I don't see h...

Re: Early B19A 360 water pump question
They do look different. I may have just bought another spare for my fixed fan GLS then! At least it was only £12 delivered.
I'd better not change the pump when I need the car in a hurry in case I have to order another for the later car.
