Have been to look at a couple this week but nothing that has convinced me 100% yet, looking hard to find a goodun.
Just a little

Hang in there - they are out there if you're patient!

Alright, you win, for now

So, when are you bringing the Pug over here for a race?

I'm looking for another 205 now as well, so if anyone wants to swap a mint 205 for a mint 405 Mi16 K-reg let me know.

Prefer small cars, so the 405 has to go, and I want another 205 until the Miami is finished.

Karl -

I'd love to track mine and do all that kind of stuff, but I didn't buy it to put it through that, mines a weekend fun toy to keep in as good condition as possible for the future Needs a few little bits but otherwise she's not bad for a 1990, 75k miles.....

yeah lost a full days track..not bothered about that

unfortunately,even with a mate bringing down a spare dizzy, ign amp and leads, still misfires like a bad un. almost everything was replaced about a year ago , lie fuel filter , plugs, rotor arm etc, so im expecting the worst...headgasket or something like that. Luckily have some dosh saved for such items, so it was my last track of the ter and for a few months, as i'll be a dadda in a few weks.

So a bad end to an excellent year (CAR WISE), but i'll be back and faster next year

ciao

Another very common fault is bad earth, might be worth checking before you whip the head off!

At least it failed right at the end of the season mate and you have plenty of time to fault find and sort it.
