Location: Halifax		Evening all! Joined up this afternoon as I'm after some info!

Bought a GTa last weekend as a bit of a stop gap whilst I get some other bits sorted out. It's a 1995, 1.1 with only 55,000 miles. Really good condition inside with recent new arches and respray!








Couple of bits I need to sort but nothing much. When should the timing belt be done on these? I have no history other than MOTs and it's 1120cc 8v
I'm after a new cap for my expansion tank, are these the same as MPi minis?

Oh annnnd, does anyone produce the GTa decals? Or have a high res photo I could use to get some made from?!

Thankssss

Location: Bromley, Kent		Cool! Just noticed the orange mk1 Austin in the photo too. Have a look in the events section for 'PoL' / largest metro convoy #2

It takes place this Saturday and is best Metro meet of the year. Be great if you could get your GTa and maybe even the MG there!

Location: Bromley, Kent		Local motor factor will do you a cap.

BTW make sure your at Hopwood for the convoy.

Location: Bromley, Kent		Timing belt is every 50k miles or 5 years I think...

I'd be worried if my cam belt interval was that short, 6 years or 90,000 miles is more reasonable.
