It's not even my car anymore and i'm upset for you Pretty sure as suggested above, .de rust and touch up is the best option as luckily it's right on the edge. A bit of time and patience and it should be hardly noticeable but like you say best to get it sorted asap.
Flexib "I'm more worried about my family's safety than I am in getting £50 back"
if that's all you're really talking about, i'd put my hand in my pocket go round to the elderly relative and say you "persuaded" the guy to give the money back, please don't talk to strangers again. you're a hero and the elderly relative has the money back and no retributions!
All the best with your new venture. One of the contractors we use had his VW t5 van done matt black and carbon, paid £1800 to get it done and to be honest i wasn't impressed . From what I've seen you do on the forum yours is a far better standard
Won't that make it slower??????
Depends if you're making the driving pulley or the driven pulley bigger I guess.
Had to draw it on a scrap of paper but i think Haydn is right
Common RT i thought that was something we Jag enthusiasts didn't mention on an open forum
I'm clinging to the belief (delusion) that having spent all its life in California, the rust mites (and woodworm) were too hot or stoned to attack it properly.
trust me, I've tried every supplier (3). I'm sure the Monopolies Commission would be interested in the price fixing
I even tracked down the company that manufacture the inlet manifold but they said I had to go through their distributor. As you say, with limited suppliers they seem to be able to think of a price and double it.
What i need is a JAGMANALEX
Was looking to replace the american spec twin stromberg carbs on the e type with uk triple su set up.
Only £3k plus filter housing plus linkages, another £1k ,total £4k just to change the carbs!
"they have just agreed to sign a 12 month lease, rather than the normal 6 month lease",
Not necessarily a good thing or indeed good idea. With new tenants it's better to do an initial 6 month lease to see how they are and then renew for 12 if you have had no problems with them. The landlords we work for tend to do it this way.
Likewise bit of both. We do a lot of work for landlords and on the whole i would be reluctant to let tenants do anything without written consent, and limit it to EASILY reversable stuff not exceding a coat of emulsion. Even that can be a nightmare with cases of garish colours and even black slapped everywhere resulting in costly and time consuming remedial work. I certainly wouldn't let them start stripping wallpaper. Only you know how far you were prepared for them to go or if your consent could have been misinterpreted. i would say that you will cover the cost of materials ie plaster etc but they would be responsible for the labour.
