The thing is......

Weather causes most/if not all corrosion..... so depending how well the N plate is looked after/housed then its irrelivent of how old the shell is. where as the R plate could be shot....

the condition of the shell is what matters wether its older or not  :wink:

Just cos its 2 years newer it doesn't mean its in better condition. The drivers door has some damage as far as I know. We shall see....

No electrical tape nowhere  :lipsrsealed:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Nah it's time I get my hands dirty. Thing is, when DH is at a job you don't really get the chance to do anything seeing as he is so bloody good he don't need no help.
And if Danny comes along, well I may as well put the apron on and make some cookies and tea.  :grin:
