Re: PAS pipe corrosion

Thanks Jay.

A couple of mech. mates have recommended hosequip in Colchester just down the road from me.

I'll give them a shout and take it from there.

Thanks all for the advice. Much appreciated.

Re: PAS pipe corrosion

Thanks Jeff. Yes for the GT. I assumed that the AC would make a difference but not in a good way! If you have any sources for replacements I would appreciate a pointer. Thanks for your damper info. on some other posts. Managed to find some but it's not been easy. Looks like Bilstein has discontinued...

PAS pipe corrosion

Hi all,

Pas pipes have a small leak (corrosion).

Anyone have any options to get replacements?

I guess custom made is the only option now.

Thanks.

Re: Sad day - GT is up for sale

I've had a couple of enquiries from some current 480 owners which is nice. I'm not sure what to value her at. I was thinking of around £4k. Does that sound realistic or a bit top heavy? I'm swayed by Rod's 2nd celebration which he sold last year to an 'enthusiast' that turned out to be a dealer. The...

Sad day - GT is up for sale

Hi all, I've always said that I'd only swap my 480 for a P1800. Well I'm now in a position to get one, so sadly the 480 has to be sold as I can't afford both. If anyone is interested, just drop me a line as I cant imagine selling to someone who wont look after her. Original thread here: https://www....

Re: R5: Black Manual SR Turbo

You can bid/buy from Copart, you just need to be a member.

Catch is the £100 to become a member which allows you to bid but you might not win.

This 480 is CatC so you don't need a CatB licence either.

Need some help for a 480 article

Hi all, Firstly, apologies for not contributing to the forum much recently. Covid, lockdown, life, work etc. just seemed to get in the way. My last real outing in my 480 was Sylvia's Lincolnshire mini meet back in October '19. Since then the 480 has been hiding in the garage. MOT etc in a few weeks ...

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet

Hope everyone has a good day.

My 480 is still in the garage and hasn't moved for a while, but hopefully she will appear at sometime during the summer.

I've just recovered from coronavirus so not done anything of note for a while.

Re: How to be as cool as DCWalker?

As it seems compulsory to have a C70 and a 480 (as if a 480 isn't enough to keep you busy!). Here's mine. https://i.imgur.com/a5lEshp.jpg My 480 is stuck in its offsite garage, so hasn't moved since the October mini-meet. So to keep me busy, the C70 has been getting some love so I thought I'd share ...
