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):

there is an American car breakers called blues brothers 8)  (big field full of old yanks) that I got a few bits for my pontiac firebird but I can't remember where it is (I've had a drink since then  :wink: ) I will ask a few questions and get back to you but I think we got the number out of a hot rod mag  :shock: (yes I did wash my hands) may be worth a trip to the libery (WHSmiths) for a free look through the mags :D I've also got a couple of mates in the north wales American car club so you never know there might be one knocking around.. :D
