Just tighten the bleed screw back up and check the oil/coolent level and top up as much is needed and should be fine mate - this happened to the MG and it was fine

Was asked to swap my motor for a 106 GTI Yesterday
The 106 GTi mods are
40mm all round
halo headlamps in black
tinted rear lights
side windows tinted (very dark) but not the rear
dewipered
decat with a standard backbox. However he did say he would fit a backbox for me
Forced induction kit (NOT BMC)
full service history
recent cambelt change 500 miles ago
A nice orange colour
89k on engine
64k on gearbox


Bad bits are
Rust around sunroof, inside the passenger arch and on the bottom part of drivers front arch
needs new pads and disks on front
leatehr slightly ripped
Owned by a boy racer ive seen ragging it around

i Will say i seriously considered this offer but im unsure now due to the rust and insurance.
Thoughts would be nice tho

forgot to mention was a cat c write off but been fully repaired since ( 6 months ago)
2 months mot
4 months tax

yer maybe a show cage and reclinging buckets
found a guide today on how to wire up a xbox into a headrest tv and make one. Problem is it costs like £400 to do lol.
you need to buy a mini tv. cut it out the headrest and put it in. get a adaptior for the ciggy lighter. plug into that and for the xbox get the covertor that changes plug sockets and do it via that way. is a thought for future

maybe for when its all fixed some buckets and a showcage in black?????

Dunno mate - what colour is the bonnet - is it black or grey?
If its grey than spray alloys and cage grey + maybe roof
then Visa-versa if its black
Or you could stick to black and have your bonnet sprayed by that guy in Thorne by Gloss Black

she's looking a lot better !!!

Would love to see what it'd look like with some anthracite/dark grey coloured chevrons on the front, or even black.

Also, front number plate is off centre
