Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: George-S on September 08, 2018, 04:10:39 PM betaBoyz is a great place to get parts... https://353652584127257704.weebly.com/ (https://353652584127257704.weebly.com/)
Ebay as always another great place.. South Africa http://lancia.co.za/ (http://lancia.co.za/) has a massive range of parts.. but personally find it a nightmare to use :/ Just asking on this forum most people get back to you about parts if they have spares.. Also the lancia beta coupe appreciation society on facebook is great for advice .. Good luck with it all ! Post some pics .. lots of great advice on here if you get stuck ...

Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: mangocrazy on September 09, 2018, 05:06:13 PM If you're unsure how many miles/how much time has elapsed since the previous cam belt change, make doing that your first priority. Betaboyz should have all the bits and can advise.
Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: Dinger1962 on September 09, 2018, 05:32:45 PM Thanks had a look on Betaboyz looks like they moving premises ---Had engine running properly today satisfied its healthy now will give service and change cam belt as well car been sat since 95--not a total knacker will need work but didnt cost the earth--need fuel tank if you got any contacts thanks Stu
Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: peteracs on September 09, 2018, 05:39:13 PM Hi
Glad to see another being cared for. On the fuel tank how bad is it as always a tricky one to replace? Peter Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: Dinger1962 on September 10, 2018, 05:37:56 PM Its knackered mate --got fuel lines rigged up to my old speedboat tank for now in the boot--not to worry it runs / body repairable/all the rest will just take time cheers Stu

Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: wheelies on September 12, 2018, 07:36:21 AM There's a guy in Hartlepool who is good with fuel tanks takes between 7 to10 days turnaround with a open guarantee. Like bring it back anytime and ill fix it I'm so sure it will last. Mine lasted 15years before I could smell petrol.
For you it's a quick ride across the A66 Title: Re: Newbie Northern England Post by: smithymc on September 12, 2018, 01:32:02 PM Or, if the tank hasn’t actually got holes in it, you could try the Frost POR15 kit and line it yourself. I did mine and it seems ok 2 years on.
There are a few tips I would be pleased to pass on and don’t get it on yourself or any clothing you might ever want to wear again, but it seems a good product. As with most things, preparation is key.
