As a HubNut subscriber, I've realized it was you that bought his spares Invacar. When the two of you met up your's was running better until he managed to obtain some NOS pulleys and the correct drivebelt for TWC following his visit to where they were originally built.

Re: Mobility Astra Mk1 Kadett D Estate

Seanan, I've just subscribed purely on the strength of this particular project. It shouldn't take much to get it through the NCT. You'll need RHD headlamps but I'm sure you've got a set somewhere.

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Lada, Saab, Citroen, Sinclair & AC Model 70

Zel, you should check out Hub Nut on YouTube. He's none other than Ian Seabrook, editor of Classic Jaguar magazine. He's got an Invacar back on the road. I remember these back in the day. I don't suppose your Lada has an OBD port by any chance? With the right software, you could see if a laptop can ...

Re: cleaner emissions

Re: Ford Sierra Sapphire Restoration

My last Sierra was a Sapphire 1.8LX (G580 FVH) which had the CVH engine. Mine burnt a lot of oil which was down to worn piston rings.
