I told him to buy a Manta! Edited January 16, 2016 by Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned two of those cars, in fact he's got one of them!! I knew of that problem on the SUs, I used to put a couple of drops of gun oil down them, see what old age does to you? It just didn't come out of my head!! Cheers Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
