Buying 850 5sp - general questions

The rear main seal is a weak point. Cheap part., expensive to get to.

As for radios, try ebay

If you had been taught properly you would realise why it is a "no-no" to hold a car stationary with out the brake.

I really should have clarified that statement...

My point, which I didn't make clear, was that even on a hill, in theory, you don't need to use the brake to hold the car still. I didn't mean to suggest that this would be be a normal/good thing to do, just that it is possible.

Certainly it is possible, I was just making reference to the fact that in good driving circles it is frowned upon.

Cheers, Peter.
