Cheers pal, I still own a Lemans A310, it was my dads, but needs work. It ran the lemans in the early 80's. Some little ******* broke into the garage where it was kept and trashed it. The below is simular to what it looked like other then the 6 light front configuration. Looking to restore it in the next 10 years or so. It needs a lot of money, it was running with a BDG engine...

EBC brake pads. Never ever again. On any car. (unless they admit they were crap and refund me - I still have them on the shelf ).

Dealer cambelt service: (my jaw hit the floor when I had the invoice - did myself thereafter, its a doddle compared to most cars).

Avon ZZ3 tyres (came as part of the wheel/tyre package).

Whiteline steering rack bushes. Totally pointless as the OEM bushes are so thin so they won't probably flex that much anyway.

No mention of 'Uprated Fuel Pumps'?

Which surprises me - as the standard pump actually pumps so much fuel that it returns 90% back to the tank .....

so, why the hell would anyone want to pump MORE!!!
