I have news! It's still broken. I've pretty much ruled out what
isn't the problem, too much too explain, but it can now only (in theory) be...
- Air leak at the base of carb and/or inlet manifold
- Baffles inside exhaust are f****ed/exhaust is f****ed
- Headgasket. Although no signs of cream
- Piston rings? It was smokey last time I started it, not sure what colour as I'm colourblind!
I will remove the carb this weekend and seal the hell out of it and try that first. A compression test may be needed though

What ever is wrong, it should be cheap for parts and I can do it myself at home with some borrowed tools and my owners manual. It;s just finding the problem
Anyway, I have some pictures I forgot to upload. These were taken the day it broke down, so the last time I drove it really. The first day of spring - how ironic
Gave the old girl a much needed clean
I also brought out the good ol' peanut butter to do all my plastics. Front and rear bumper still to do though! Worked a treat.
And oh yeah, those Speedline wheels......
