Does he have a carb or is he fuel injection? Is he the one from Malvern?
Edit, he is then, what a bargain you got! Edited again, I see he's had a cambelt change too, bargain of the century!

Here, however, I have to apologise to OldBlueVolvo, who gave me an absolute mountain of good advice a while back on buying a 745 including the advice to steer clear of the B230K. Sorry! I did look out for the other things you said!! And truth be told I never expected to win him either...

If you want a new headlining there's a good condition one from a 940 local to us in Oxfordshire, pm if you want the details, also Crogthomas knows somebody in our neck of the woods who will fit you a good one from a 940 (which wont sag)
