      That'd be the one! Don't think I ever actually knew what or who! It's not got any better with the passage of time...

      Blimey, that rang a bell but I had no idea where from- it was a regular in the grotty rock club I used to frequent in Plymouth apparently...

      brianthesnail96

      That's what it was built for- so it's positively modern in spec- electronic distributor, unleaded valve seats, erm, that's about it. Never made it into a car though...

      brianthesnail96

      It's OK, the nozzle won't fit... I tried it the other day! Not had a diesel for about 3 years, so I'm not sure why I grabbed the black pump...
