I now have a mustang gt so don’t need the “Steve Heath “ guide.
Pay for postage , a couple of quids, and it’s yours.

Go for the Haynes RR manual, Steve Heath book does not go into engine overhaul work. You may find it useful for other "stuff"?

Just about to wrap my head gasket overhaul up, word of advice, don't, unless you're a masochist, it almost got set on fire earlier, tomorrow it may actually get set on fire.

yes I did but your address is not valid ! Send again ! I see you have emailed to my work email, which is correct. If there is a problem with you home address, give me another.

You haven’t sent an address so I guess you no longer want it.

David, I sent the address several times by pressing on your name, then emailing Vis"email me", but the messages just don't seem to be getting through?

I still need the book, if it's available please, but just can't get in touch with you, I tried phoning your business address but that just had answer phone messages?

Is there some foolproof way of sending you my address, without publishing it here, for the world to see, maybe??

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Phil.
