Heyup - there's a good Northerners scene - we're mostly down towards Harrogate but some are nearer you

What's wrong with the 14? Any pics

Sounds like you got a big job on your hands there Good luck

I've only owned my fourteen for 5 months, and up until I got mine had never met anyone who'd owned one either! Since then through DDK and the 914uk Yahoo group I've met some great people. Stick around and ask away there's a fantastic combined source of information here.

After a few months of ownership I managed park up alongside this lot!

Ebay US can be a good source, I've certainly aquired a few great bits from it. There are several places to try like Roger Bray, Mittlemotor etc. But it's alway worth asking here too.

Good luck, and do post some pics, we'll give you the kick up the back side you're after!
