While I'm here, does anyone know of a company in S Wales that will fit a roof and interliner? Either at home or by getting it to their place?

working on overheating, changed the thermastat, water pump, radiator fan switch, now about to fit new temperature sensor, the problem was the gauge running at the very top of the range and the light flashing, after changing all except the sensor rund near the top, also flushed system and got airbubbles out.

Any chance you can pm me his number? I've currently got it booked with Jack Smith Trimmers in Swansea. They're going to fit a vinyl hood, headliner plus wires for £360, so very cheap and well recommended - I believe thats where bignormrivage got his from.
The problem I have is that due to an electrical fault somewhere, my car isn't starting, and with all the wet weather we're having, the interior is obsolutely soaking!

overheating
car ok, no head gasket gone, found that the temperature sender that made the gauge run at top of range was not correct and tha the gauge should have been connected to another sender now runs at half way and temperature seems ok , run up to deri and down to rhymney and seems ok although fan does come on after gauge reading 3/4 way up, i think its ok now so planning to dry it off and put in garage for winter

Yeah same place I had mine done mate.
Did you price a mohair roof with them?
I paid less than £360 for a mohair roof and new headliner.
Personally I think they look better and age better.
