If it's been stood for any time you may need a new fuel pump as the diaphragms tend to go, they aren't expensive but you need to pop the old one off and measure the push rod as there are 2 types IIRC 100mm or 110mm. In theory the 110 should be on cars with dynamos but a lot have been retrofitted with alternators over the years. If you don't already know the battery should be under the rear seat (I think they are 063 type).

Know about the battery and the fuel pump, forget if it had a dynamo - I think it had an alternator, but there was a control box under the rear seat which I can't remember if my '78 had.

I'll find out more tomorrow, once I've got a sodding massive socket and got the wheel off.

that's theft isn't it?

Theft is to permanently deprive, so it could be. Depends if the original owner wants it back. :)

Still, rather you than I.

thats coercment, tell me to steal it rather than you stealing it :)

ROFL! Shall we discuss this tomorrow? :)

Technically, yes, but I've spoken to a few mates of the owner now, he's on holiday, and my intention is not to permanently deprive the owner of the car. If they intended to abandon it, and I get to keep it, great, but if they wanted to restore it and were about to lose it because they'd left it somewhere stupid, then I've saved their car.

yes, lets, but only hypotheticaly, otherwise they may suspect a conspiracy :)

The conversation will never take place.

Anyway if the rumours are true you'd better talk to me first thing, apparently it's hard to have a conversation with a broken nose, arm and two legs. :-/

i was never there, i have wtnesses and video footage of me not being there either it'll never stand up in court

mind you, with 2 broken leg,s you may not do either :) but it wasn't me, or my fault

Heh.
