Splutter has a new 'Step Dad' (as you never really own Splutter, you kinda look after him)
Jack I'm sure will be along soon to say 'Hi' when he works out how to use Forum but here are some posts from his facebook to give you an idea of how the Panda Bug has bitten him!
Maybe not looking his best there.....
Think we've all been there....
Yup, that's my boy! Living with Splutter is always 'Eventful'
So Splutter is back on the road!
Admittenly with a few issues after his MOT shake up....
But even thou he has lots of work to do he does look good!
BTW, Jack was wanting to know who did all the fantastic welding....

Looking great after a good polish and good news on the MOT.
The electrical problem is most definately an earth fault, my bets are on the terminal that is bolted to the bulkhead underneath the heater box being broken by the MOT Machine.

Hello! Jim is utterly correct - I'm crap at computers. I am however just loving driving Splutter. He has passed the MOT and despite the odd problem is now running perfectly! When i was 17 i had a Mini Cooper - Splutter kicks it's arse! I can't remember the last time I enjoyed double-declutching so much on the downshift just to hear the engine! Splutter flies!!

Jim... Was it me?

Looks fab in the last pic but who's ripped his head restraints out
I've still got them in the house but Jack has a full spare interior. Yes Stuart, all you handy work but keep it quiet, your services might be required again LOL

Splutter is doing very well!! The hedgehogs were the problem. He has just had a full service and I've sprayed a load of waxoyl underneath so he's good for a while yet! Doors to sort and photos will follow. Any ideas how to make him stop would be appreciated as the brakes are truly shocking. Can I upgrade??

Overhaul the callipers and give the wedges a good clean. Coat all moving parts in copper slip. If that doesn't make a difference it could be the master cylinder. What are the back brakes like? Rubber hoses?
Jack there's a screw on the pin that operates between the master cylinder and the servo. When i'm looking at your doors I'll show you how to adjust it. there's a thread on how to do it on the forum.
Won't have a servo being a 750. No need to upgrade, the standard brakes should be fine, I would just go over everything to make sure its in tip top condition, changing the fluid might help alot.
Oh aye, forgot he was a 750.
