was on way to work this morning and the battery light came on out of nowhere, any ideas? everything is still working as usual

Possible that your alternator has just died, maybe just the regulator.

Check what your getting with a multimeter at the battery after starting :)

got the battery problem fixed turns out the alternator belt had fallen off and I failed to notice when I checked the voltage on the battery *facepalm*

rac to the rescue

aye It looks better, what did you use? seen people use hot water and stuff before.

Hot water, pulled them off the body taking care not to bend / dent the panels then used an old staples card to remove the adhesive that was left

I removed the ones from my 6N but used a toffee wheel to remove the adhesive. You mount it on a drill and it worked great. Bought from ebay for £4 - £5

I'll give it a go tomorrow I think and yeah I've got a toffee wheel was gonna do it a while ago but changed my mind

Its worth the effort and your breadvan is very nice too

They are a thing of beauty! Is that just a photoshop or do you actually have these?

Look very clean what's the plans for it

not sure yet, I'm thinking daily driver subtle drop and some alloys

I've got a set of rear springs and front struts that are a 60 mm low if interested

Lucky f#####. Looks clean and original

Now slam it hard on some wide rims and its worth £1500 scene tax

Your plans sound sweet running this as your daily.

I kind of thought that this whole raffle business was a joke but congratulations mate, very jealous

A raffle seems a good way to get decent money for a car. I assume it was done on 59 numbers? If so that is £1180 the previous owner got for that car. So win - win for you and the previous owner :)
