He really knows his way round the 5cyl engine and took great care working on my car. I couldnt be happier. Thanks Kit
Really pleased.

Plus i got a days fishing for free - how cools that.

Thanks all for your replies and input, confidence and trust in a mechanic is a big thing to me.

Great news, glad you had the work done, she is a lovely example of the 100 Turbo and a round of applause for Mr Simmonds

Nice one Andy, glad to be of service to a forum member

I have to say what fantastic example of the 100T yours is, a real gem.

Me again.

Do you know the correct length belt for the hydraulic pump.

GSF only sell one at 13 x 950, would this be to short??

ECP do a 13 x 990, i think this is probably more suited


Cheers
