"Changed all mine for M6 socket caps, makes getting the sump off much easier.
Sorry as I know that doesn't really help but might be an idea when you put them back."

Adrian Southgate replied to Daryl Heasman's discussion Pinto sump problem"There are two bolts at the rear of the sump, a long way up behind the flywheel. Do you have both of those out? They are near invisible when the flywheel in in place."
Adrian Southgate replied to Jim (across the pond) Adamek's discussion Engine starting problems"If it's evaporating or draining back fit a small non return valve in the top of the fuel line (make sure it is gasoline compatible)"
Adrian Southgate replied to Tony's discussion Melos project for sale"If he has no V5C and the ID plate is missing then whoever buys it will be needing a trace done I guess :) It has a registration number so it's still traceable by the club."

For those days when your parts just can't arrive quick enough, for sunny days when the transit just isn't 'fun'...

So, collected last weekend and the first chance I get to go over it we have snow / hail / rain and gales... lovely if your a penguin I guess...
Q835XSC purchased from the factory in 1988, completed in 1990, stored for the winter in 1991 and there it sat for 22 years, possibly one of the saddest Legerras I have ever seen apart from my black one.

Hi Adrian, thanks for your message. BHP isn't an issue. My car won't be used on a track. It's more reliability I'm after. The plan is once the car is road legal again, enjoy it for a year or two here and then ship it to North Cyprus where I have a villa and looking to stay there long term. X/flow parts may be a little more thin on the ground there and it's not so easy shipping parts there. What power plant are you using?
