Horney and others, I'm touched by all your encouragement, comments, emails and of course offers of help. - Thanks :cool:

I'll make a general update and a project thread when I have some news, but if anyone wants to add any more comments please do.

By the way, if any one wants a mint black leather 3 door interior with door cards that will fit Mk2 and I believe Mk3 please shout before it goes on Ebay. Apparently it is NOT 'SEAT' branded so should fit in a Golf nicely.

Also **THAT** spoiler (see my previous Ebay link) I think I've identified it as 93 to 00 Subaru Impreza pattern copy. Again if any one wants it please.......errr no, I don't think that'll happen. Straight to Ebay methinks :wink:

I'm trying to get pictures sent through to me today or tomorrow. I've been promised it's unmarked so you'll have to go with me on this until I see it with my own eyes and I'll be able to give you an honest update.
Price wise, I'm not looking to profit from this, just cover my costs so when we get pictures we can have a chat and sort something amicable I'm sure.
Also if you could pick it up as it comes out of the donor that would be handy as it would save me storage space indoors as would want to keep it nice.

Check the seat runners are the right width on the SEAT.

The mix of SEAT seats through these cars is hyper-confusing (just ask Chuff).  I think the Cordoba is a notch-back, so has fixed rear seats.... :shocked:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

Update:

the Yellow Peril is due to arrive Sunday, though been wondering what the problem might be for non running. It can tick over ut any acceleration induces stall.

I thought it might be the air flow meter as it's had the air box replaced with a conical filter and the wiring may have been damaged, or another suggestion id fuel system relay pump.

Any advances any one?

Also any one know a good cheap delivery/collection company? Got some quotes but does anyone with a trailer want a quick cash job this weekend? It's Eastbourne to Reading, just over 100 miles.

There is no airflow meter.

Lift pump out of the tank?

Actually I think it's an in-tank pump, which might be failing?

Hall sender on the dizzi?

Crank position sensor starting to fail?

Cam sensor?

Where's DannyP?

No AFM? Blimey thought there was just after the filter? As the filter had been modified I went to this point thinking it was the weakest link?

If in tank pump could be a shame as spending £ and time to fix a problem that ultimately will be thrown away with what's left of the car. Never mind.

By the way, apparently the whole floor is lined with Dynamat (spelling?). Does anyone know if this stuff can be re-used because if it can be I'll take it out before the shell gets scrapped.

Someone has obviously spent a lot of money on this as a show project so other hopefully some tasty salvageable goodies might arise.

I thought these had an AFM as well. Certainly Digipants MKII 8v's have them.
