Hi Guys please find enclosed an image of my B20A7 Auto, hopefully. Its taken me this long to work out how to cut and paste from 'bucket, so hopefully it'll work O.K. The next step will be learning how to paste several at the same time, on the same post!!! Anyways, seasons greetings to you all,

They need slight re-furbing sometime, but I needed to spend a few bob on the M.O.T. this year, needed rear arches welding new brakes etc, still not bad for a 23 year old car, will try and post more images this weekend, hope you're well.

Thanks crunchy, that's spooky, how the 'kin 'ell did you do that!! Did I leave them in the 'ether' somewhere, unwittingly. Thanks for the compliment, she's not bad, is she, you'll have to see her in the flesh one day. I'd like to go to town on the engine bay one day, but scared of getting water into all those electrical/ electronic bits, do you know anyone who can diagnose r12 aircon faults locally, apart from the abs light fault, its the only outstanding issue? my mate saw a white 3g yesterday, not far from where the old ' Elephant and Castle' pub site, you by any chance? Pop round anytime you're free.

Haha, just went into your photobucket profile & pulled the images from there. Copied & pasted each image url (for forums/boards), & voila. ;)

i.e. 2nd from bottom on the list..

or the IMG url on the desktop site..again 2nd from bottom on the list..

If you want to see exactly how I posted the images, just click 'QUOTE' at the top of my post, & it will display all the info. Then just click back-up to cancel.

Don't know of anyone personally who can diagnose a/c faults I'm afraid, but I'm sure someone on here can offer some advice on that. :think:

And yeah, I'll pop over in the new year mate, once Christmas is out the way. :)

Thanks crunchy, there's supposed to be a guy near telegraph hill who still does r12 a/c but that info is quite old now, plus his methods of extraction were a bit dubious, so I'm told. I'm off to NZ ,Thailand and Malaysia from Jan 22 to May 1st. If that is you not far from the old 'elephant' I may swing by yours in the new year if that's ok. The photos were taken in riverside park, end of manor farm road

You can always convert to R134a (I think that's right).

Oh yeah, & where's the 'elephant & castle' pub site? Is it in hedge end? If so, I went to the Shamblehurst Barn for a few drinks with work colleagues yesterday. Maybe that's where he saw me..if it was me. Although it must have been, because I don't know of any other white 3G's in the area other than our two. ;)

Its now a modern housing development, on Bursledon Road, just in the start of the dip coming towards Bitterne on the L/H/S. not far from the KFC and Range site, which used to be Antelope House and Jewsons Regional office
