Title: 289,000 miles
Post by: rokcrawlin on April 04, 2005, 22:26:38: Well it looks like the hybrid is goin to the great A1 in the sky as I am rapidly running out of options,to fix it.
I have been offered a 5 litre V8 for it but cannot source a manual fly wheel for it, so if anyone knows anywhere that does american car parts that would be able to source a manual fly wheel I would be gratetfull if you would let me know their address as I would like to keep it on the road rather than scrap it..................... :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry): :(bigcry):
