ok, wat would be the best manual to buy with the diagrams?

sounds like your linkage has come of the steering box selector rod. This bolts on if it is the one that goes into the back of the steering box, but I fear they have a bad habit of snapping which means you need to diasassemble the steering box and replace the selector tube...Yuk - or fit a floor ...

And if you are running the original 3 speed gearbox go easy on it.

A 186 even in standard form is getting close to approx double the power output of a grey motor.

Thanks

nah not the little bits, im talkin bout the long chrome piece that goes all the way along the bottom of the windscreen into each bottom corner, thanx anyways.

hey all, just had my windscreen removed and the bottom chrome strip has no clip on it. the windscreen guy said there is no point putting it on cause it wont sit properly because it sits in the actual window and rubber. So i was wondering if anyone had one i could purchase?
cheers

thanks for the info, i'll try them.
