Any help much appreciated and a donation to the amp3 charity would be payment!
Currently in the indian ocean but drop me a PM and I will see if I can talk the misses into having a rack around the garage.

I am sure I have a plunge clock and a tenth finger clock if your feeling accurate at home you can borrow.

Did not realise that Craig, will put N3 on them when I get her back, and we can also check N1.
When Jamie's car is back on the road that will give us the weight of a bog standard S1.

No prob, I quit fancy doing all mine too. All with a full tank of fuel and nothing removed. Tony got his S1 on the road, it's a 2000 8k miles original so interested in it's weight.

Anyone got a good quality brake line flaring kit? The stuff available to buy seems to be £10 tat or £150+ garage spec stuff which is overkill for a one off replacement..

Hi Mike, that would be great but I'm going to shift the engine out this weekend by hook or by crook! If that doesn't happen, I'll be in touch!
