The only thing I am prepared to confirm is that I didn't buy it off Karl

I'd place a healthy bet you picked it up somewhere near Ledbury ... ?

I hope so Grant!
It'll be having the front bumper off and back to standard as I am an on-road heathen I am afraid.
Very possibly doing the same at the rear and just carrying the spare in the boot (gas tank underneath).
Needs some bits and pieces - so I will post a thread about those!!
Hey ho.

I'd a good idea it was Chas's when I saw the engine shot.

Well, first trip done and out of the way. To petrol and LPG station........
First impressions? Very very different to a 95.
The petrol variant is very quiet indeed.
I am going to be a busy lad with this methinks.
Right now urgent things are to sort steering wheel as its poor and getting on my nerves(!!), theres a vibration at 60+ that isn't bad enough to shake your fillings out but is there, I'll double check wheel balance tomorrow as a first step but am not hopeful it's that. Rear demister doesn't seem to work so that needs investigation, and there are some loose bits of trim etc that I can sort. Seat heaters appear inoperative too, and (I think) the electric aerial only wants to retract not extend but I have only pressed some aerial-like buttons on the dash at this stage!!!
Oh, and she needs the arches painting, but that can wait.

Anyone who has any thoughts about potential vibration causes please do mention them - I think it is more coming through the car than the steering if you know what I mean, thanks

I remember someone having a similar problem which seemed impossible to solve until he weighed his tyres and found one to be considerably heavier than the other so maybe you should rotate the wheels before you start delving into more costly regions Jonny .
