    Warranties were never worth pursuing in the first place but plenty of spares available and some companies are actually building better components as well - good market for it as some are finding out.

    HTH
    Straight 6, not V8. Fibreglass does absorb a fair amount of energy as it disintegrates.

    Sas and Zeist, you've won me over, there's a great deal on a Robin Reliant on autotrader, should be sensible enough, but I'll have to go easy on the corners...

    I could sell him my Ford Orion; it's so old it's legally allowed to get a licence and drive itself

    (Far too good a car to get rid of, though.)

    Mr Kane, either you're a brilliant wind-up merchant or a fool. Which is it?
    Wind-up merchant? I have better things to do than waste my own, and other peoples time.

    Wouldn't be much of a wind-up would it really?

    Why the binary option of wind-up merchant or fool. How about discerning buyer seeking advice from fellow motoring enthusiasts.
