Thanks Gareth- is there a collection of recent pics anywhere? I presume you're Cardiff based? Thanks

Hi all, Looking for a good condition, road going car. Preferably manual, TC or 3500. Good bodywork No show car, looking for something I can improve as I go. I'm in the North West £3000-£5000

Random question but anybody know of this car's current whereabouts? Sold when needed the money but would love to know how he's getting on. Fond memories

So still a bit at sea.... OE was 165/80/14 .... the modern equivalent being 185/70/14.... will these be OK for my 6" /14 SD1 series 1 alloys?

OK, so the modern equivalent is 185/70/14 .... Cool - but will that also be OK with my 6" x14 SD1 alloys?

The seats were looking pretty worn, cracked and the black colour to the leather was worn away in places. I stupidly forgot to take picture before hand but the passenger seat in particular was looking quite bad, lots of cracks with the cream/yellow colour of the leather hide showing through. So...

Got a few questions regarding interior trim; see thread in interior section :) Dash board trim questions... So, car is currently running OK having been a bit erratic when under load. Tom at LakeViewMotors re-balanced the carbs which has helped. However the idle seemed to get higher and higher...

I've seen a few examples of 4 pot cars using wider than 185s although I guess some of them could have swapped out top links. Anybody on here with any experience?

So I got the S1 SD1 wheels restored in silver. 14" x6 Still not sure what tyres to fit. Opinions range from 185, 195 and 205. I'm wanting a bit more grip than standard but want to avoid rubbing and a wildly inaccurate speedo.

I'm finding it quite tricky to choose a tyre for the sd1 wheels. They're 14". Some people seem to say 205 70 14, some 195 or 185. I'd love more grip than standard, I'm using the car daily, but don't want to upset handling by going to wide or end up with a wonky speedo.
