Yeah I find going up hill = more fuel going down = less fuel and I thought something was really up with it 'cos the fuel guage would go down WELL FAST. I stopped worrying when I managed a whole three days on just above empty. :lol: Oh and when theres 4 in the car there seems to be atleast 3/4 of a tank in at all times so I can only draw the conclusion that going up a steep hill with four in makes the mpg go through the roof ;) :lol:

no what i meant, was when i parked at that angle the float would jam in the carb and the fuel would siphon out
one sharp blow to the carb sorted it out

Post Re: '88 red spesh
Thought I'd update this simply cos all the teachers are on strike and I'm bored. I've been using it every day since I passed, and I've clocked up about 10k in it since April. It ain't that much, but my supposed insurance limit is 4.5 k :oops: , so I've invested in a spare speedo incase I crash. It's pretty much not let me down, except for when I let it run out of fuel. In the queue for Salbris the condensor failed and the points seized up, but somehow it managed to make it into the campsite thank f*ck. That resulted in me investing in a 123 which also stopped the endless pinking issues. Apart from that, super coil and a bit of rough and ready welding (thanks LIL LOUIS), I've only done regular service shizzle really. It was quite low at the front for a bit, but I got bored of scraping with 5 up going to college everyday after about two months, so its currently at hoon height. Oh, and I ran over an anonymous wild animal and that broke my splitter. It then had a quite illegal homemade (thanks again LL) bumper on it but that fell off after about a week too. Plans? None, except getting it through its MOT. I keep finding odd bits of nasty rust, but thankfully they seem to be fairly localised. (Mainly the rear seat box and around the seatbelt mounts) Anyway yeah, 602 4 LIFE n all that.
Have some random pics...

Being a goon in Salbris. Which reminds me, the roof has also been replaced as it got a huge gash in it around the time this was taken. :lol:

Again in Salbris, this time outside M. Safe tabac's tabac.

One of the nasty bits of rust. :(
