A red R reg coop in coningsby about 9pm near Lloyds tsb

Yes, sounds a plan.
used to live in Woodhall Spa but just moved to Louth, am always around Coningsby/Woodhall/Horncastle/Louth

Ooo, a Lincolnshire Meet, would be a first for me

yeh it would be good Dan if we can do a Lincolnshire meet and go for a cruise somewhere :-D

Dan last time we had a "lincolnshire" meet my car ran out of electricity and i was stranded in Spalding with a bunch of chavs driving around in Saxos and Clios!

I vote not to have it in spalding then

Steel Grey 20vt just pulled up outside the Greyhound pub in Louth v.good condition.........was going to say hi but bottled it.lol.

Porto P reg, Coupe at Boston Enterprise centre, was going to say hi but was waiting to start my induction training.

Hi mate that was me outside the greyhound! Are you a louth coupe owner? Well if it was a t reg 20vt!

Ps a lincs meet would be good!

a few of us round this area now,

Yes i am in grimsby and know of 4 another steel grey one 20vt, red 20v,red 20vt and mine.

Not till i get my yellow peril back!!!

hi matty its dave was at danny's the other week, wheres your car gone, has danny told you what happened to mine??

Someone went into the back of me on the A1, very closed to a write off but luckily being repaired.

Whats happened to yours?

Knocking coming from bottom end of engine

Ooh not good!

nope not good, looks like it could be scrap metal by the end of the week

have you sourced an engine ?
Im in middle of doing a house up as soon to be moving into it but.... if I can assist in any way then just ask.

Ps did you know Roger Windleys have 2x coupe's one is missing the head as someone seems to have bought as the whole engine WAS in there but bottom end still in situ.

havn't got the sump off yet to see the damage, yeh going to call them tomorrow to see how much they would want for the bottom end/ whole engine hoping i just need new shells and bearings, cheers for the offer might have to take you up on that at somepoint as my knowledge isnt that big

Your knowledge of cars isn't too bad really dave, it's just the coupe is something else

I'm with bridges on sourcing a new engine at the mo, as long as its tried and tested.

Be better once you have had the sump off and assessed the damage though. Be nice to see her running again

Dave, my brothers fiat is running again after sorting out his bent valves so don't give up.

P.S I saw a black coupe in Boston at about 8:20pm tonight with aftermarket wheels and front bumper

yeh dont want to give up on her but turning into a money pit and only had it a month lol, yeh going to call windleys tomorrow and find out parts prices and take sump off

as a base figure I very recently had a low mileage 2000 megan 1.6 engine for £180 inclusive of VAT from Windleys.

thats no too bad then, how much of a pain is it to remove the engine out of the coupe???

spoke to windleys they want 200+ vat for the full engine they won't split this one, seems a fair price to me

Have just been speaking with a friend who practically lives down at RogerWindleys salvage yard. He suspects the coupe could be high mileage, have just looked on their website and spares listings and its done nearly 150k miles so is slightly higher risk regarding condition.

If ALL options are closed then I have a 86k miles FSH P reg 20vt sat on axle stands garaged in woodhall spa as ive been ummmming and arrrring for a year deciding whether to break as has a knackered clutch and possible turbo wear. as well as rear trailing arm bearings required and needing a clean up. always planned to put back on road and was keeping incase my 20vt started to require parts but is always an option.

Porto coupe with what looked like 17" or 18" aftermarket wheels driving past PC world and Aldi towards John Adams Way in Boston at around 6pm (ish) tonight.

I was at work again (Pc world), looked out of the window and just happened to see this driving past.

This sounds exactly like the one I spotted that had slight window tints, the owner appears to work at the enterprise centre, Boston as have had training there all this week

Boston is full of coupes at the moment, i seem to see a different one every week.
