Do those newer one still have the 3k mile oil change intervals?

The car was up for 1.5k, then 995 and now 395. So presumably trying to recover some of his costs. Iirc the correct grille was in very good condition.

Current price isn't much more than scrap. Especially if the engine is a runner.

If universal joints, I'd have thought it would stay with the clutch down.

Iirc thrust bearings is most pronounced when clutch down. I'd have thought I'd killed it by now if they had dropped.

Probably just the water pump, alternator or something like that.

Today we needed to go to Clarke's shopping outlet as I needed some new shoes. I did ask Mrs SiC which car she preferred and was more comfortable to go in - Boxster or Spitfire. She said she didn't mind either. So naturally I took the Spitty as I still can't get enough of driving it. On the way down ...

All the fuse box fixings were done late Friday night and I didn't get it finished until 1am. Mostly as I wanted to set off in the morning to Moss. They had their "super Saturday" opening day where during the summer they open every first Saturday. Last time I went they had 10% off. No such ...
