Hey Mannyo.....
Sorry to hear about your situation and apologies for not replying to a post you sent a while back (I rarely look on the forum).
Hope things improve for you soon - you've always come across as a top, helpful bloke after reading your posts and meeting you in person when I bought your D2.
That certainly seems a hell of a lot of car for 2k and if I were in the situation to be after a car - I'd snap your hand off - especially seeing first hand how you've nurtured your cars and applied your vast knowledge into maintaining them.
I remember when you picked me up in that car when I came down to buy the D2 - I was really impressed then!
Doesn't seem that long ago does it?
Surely it's got to achieve more than £2k?
Good luck Mannyo

Hi Chris

Seeing the car outside, knowing I cannot afford to give it the attention it needs really gets to me. I still take it out occasionally, but it needs to be used more to keep it tip top as they do not like being left undriven.

Yes still for sale

Locking issue remains, however using the remote key there is no problem. Only the keyless system is non functional.

She Still drives well, I did more than 300 miles last weekend in her.

As you may have seen from a recent thread, the D3 suffered an issue with the air suspension, so now has a replacement front strut and air compressor.

The strut is a rebuilt new non OEM unit, and the compressor is an aftermarket item.

As you can see from these pictures taken Sunday it looks perfectly fine.

Mannyo, I have not commented but have followed your threads closely. I was happy to hear the suspension was finally sorted but I' gutted to hear it may be to no avail. I hope it doesn't end that way mate. Good luck

I had a similar crack welded up in Big Red by a local tig welding specialist. He commented that it was exceptionally hard aluminium and quite hard to weld, but it came out well.

Bear in mind that the sills on these are full of flammable expanding foam. For Big Red we had to remove a body grommet from inside the rear wheel well and fish all the foam out with a wire hook before welding. Worth checking that its not in, or next to, a void. The heat travels a long way in aluminium - Big Red's hole was about an inch diameter and I'd cleaned up 2 inches around it. The welding burned off another inch or so of paint so I ended up with a larger area than expected to refinish.
