I'm the proud new owner of...

[tasusi]

...a 1976 1850HL auto. It's red - although it looks more orange to me - and a little tatty but basically sound (thanks for the advice Jon). It has had a recent recon engine and I'm its 3rd owner. Best of all it was very cheap with 12 months mot and a boot full of spares, a much cheaper option than sorting my 1500, which I really must decide what to do with now as that's pretty good other than the front o/s and space is getting tight. Project anyone? I'm off to have a read of my handbook, having just discovered adjustable seats and steering columb.. such class!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Hope the more visible colour of red/orange makes it less prone to getting hit by another car!<br>

So, I'll bet you drove straight past Dorch, land of the free 1300fwd, to get that 1850...? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Odd your old 1300 didn't have reclining seats, as mine did - And as they're brown, if I don't make to Wales soon, they'll be going into my red TC (with brown interior) to replace the non recling ones fitted. And the auto TC, that's just under a year newer, has a blue interior, with recling seats. Neither TC has headrests though. Am I the only person who stays awake questioning this...? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

I think I like the adjustable column, but I can never get it where I want it *and* be able to tighten it up enough to stay there... Am I too pathetic, is the car worn, or is that standard...?

an adjustablr driver's seat.<br>
<br>
I think that tasusi meant that the driver's seat goes up and down in the 1850 whilst it dosn't in the 1300 - well it wasn't designed too <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Anyone else ever failed an Mot because the tester thinks there is too much play in the seat adjustment mechanism?

Nothing wrong with going up and down in the front of a dolly. Mind, that Brinylon can leave a nasty burn<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
